Introduction
As a lab manager or stakeholder in your organization, you've concluded that a laboratory information management system (LIMS) makes the most sense for better managing workflows and data management practices. However, you may not be the primary decision maker for LIMS acquisition and deployment within your organization, which means you may have to present your case (i.e., provide justification) for the LIMS to those primary decision makers. This justification should first be based on factors that are closest to the lab's essential laboratory functions, and then on more traditional economic and practical considerations, justifications, and benefits to the lab, as well as the overall organization.
This brief topical article will examine organizational, economic, and practical justifications for LIMS acquisition, allowing you to better build a stronger case for LIMS acquisition.
LIMS justification focused on your organization
When discussing the justification of LIMS acquisition for an organization, it's easy to broadly speak about the typical challenges, requirements, and considerations for labs of all types. To be fair, this basic approach still provides important deductions about LIMS for the laboratory industry as a whole. However, no two laboratories are alike, and the challenges, requirements, and considerations for your laboratory may very well differ from the typical laboratory's. If the organization has already clearly researched and stated its goals and potential risks, then it has a head start on this organization-based justification for a LIMS; the benefits of a LIMS can be tied to meeting those goals and minimizing those potential risks.
Four questions can be asked when focusing on the organization justification of a LIMS[1]:
- Why is acquiring a LIMS important to meeting the goals of your lab?
- What problems does the LIMS solve that currently affect your lab?
- What operational, financial, and personnel improvements do you expect to see in your lab because of LIMS implementation?
- Why is this important to the larger organization, as well as those outside the lab?
