Selecting and implementing a solution such as a laboratory information system (LIS) or laboratory information management system (LIMS) for your medical diagnostic or research laboratory can be an intimidating task, whether its the laboratory's first solution or a follow-up solution. Additional concerns about the functionality and ease-of-use of such systems also persist. According to a 2016 survey by technology specialist Astrix, the most common complaints were that "LIMS were perceived to be difficult to use and lacked integration with other systems," with respondents indicating the primary reason for purchasing a new solution being their overall dissatisfaction with an existing system.[1]
A case can be made that some vendors aren't clear or honest about the functionality of their system, contributing to this end-user unhappiness. However, a more common reality is that poor requirements management is also at least partially responsible for project failure.[2] This guide has attempted to not only provide practical advice towards system selection and implementation but also emphasize the real value your organization can gain from taking a methodical approach to choosing the best system for your needs via proper requirements management.
