MIPS NV (Medical Information for Professional Systems) is the subsidiary of parent company CliniSys Group Limited. MIPS develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

MIPS NV was founded in Flanders, Belgium in 1985.[1] In July 2005, CliniSys Group Limited acquired MIPS NV.[2][3]

In February 2011, MIPS acquired the property of Gespower SA — including its LIS GesLab — after it went bankrupt. The company planned to assist abandoned GesLab users and help them transition to GLIMS, MIPS' LIS offering.[3]

In February 2015, MIPS acquired MCS-LDS, the Germany-based laboratory information systems business unit of MCS AG, know for their products Vianova Labor and PROMED Open/X-PROMED.[4]

Technology and products

GLIMS

GLIMS is a LIMS-like laboratory information system (LIS) that acts as an "automation system for order-entry, instrument communication, results processing and validation, quality control, results communication, reconciliation and invoicing, payment follow-up and statistics."[5] The company claims GLIMS "is used by over 15,000 people across 17 countries in 10 different languages."[5]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
