System questionnaire

This questionnaire lists the extensive requirements of a laboratory informatics system, primarily of a LIMS, though these requirements could easily apply to other informatics systems. The intention of this document is 1. to assist labs with identifying their system needs and 2. to help labs better determine if a specific vendor/product meets their requirements in the form of a request for information (RFI).

This questionnaire is comprehensive and includes many items that do not apply to every lab. Additionally, some laboratories' requirements include a functionality item not common to other labs. Section 1.5 "Industry-specific questionnaire" contains a selection of those industry-specific requirements and will continue to be amended over time. The last section, 1.6 "Custom system functions questionnaire," is designed for the vendor to insert any additional functionality that doesn't fall under the categories provided.

When referencing a particular item for someone else, use the section number followed by the requirement letter, e.g. 1.4.2.f for "Does the system allow the system admin to create custom screens, apps, and reports?"

Requirement code and notes

In responding to each requirement, the vendor must select a requirement code from the following:

• Y: Meets requirement in commercial off-the-shelf solution as delivered/configured (or vendor provides service)
• YC: Meets requirement only with customization (additional code, using a third-party application, etc.)
• N: Does not meet requirement
• I: Informational response only, N/A

The vendor should ideally enter a requirement code and a response for each functionality question.
