When beginning the process towards procuring a new pathology system, there are so many questions and competing priorities. You have to do a service reconfiguration; you have to select and embed a LIMS system and undertake a transparent, fair – and often accelerated – procurement process. So what comes first?

Design and implementation work is underway on the deployment of WinPath Enterprise to the ten labs in the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Pathology Network. The hosted solution will support standardisation across the network that covers a patient population of 2.6 million and handles more than 50 million tests a year, ahead of the opening of a new laboratory in Leeds in 2023

In its simplest form at CliniSys, it is about ‘joining the dots’ and bringing the organisation together as one powerful brand and voice. Marketing planning is already underway and starting in the first quarter of 2021 there will be a series of initiatives to support the CliniSys Group’s marketing and corporate goals.

CliniSys has brought GLIMS Genomics to the UK. In a launch webinar, experts explained how the new laboratory information system built for genomics labs can put them in charge of their IT, drive standardisation, and deliver reports that clinicians can use as they move into the exciting world of precision medicine. And Dr Fabienne Dufernez explained how these benefits are already being delivered in Poitiers University Hospital.

ICE is used in all clinical areas within Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as well as several additional facilities and GP practices. ICE is integrated with a number of clinical systems in order to streamline the clinical workflow and make information readily available to caregivers in one central system.

An incremental LIMS consolidation programme to implement a single networked WinPath Enterprise across all sites and laboratories.

Severn Pathology set out to establish a system that would increase standardisation, enable efficient, low-risk collaboration and be fully in line with the Sustainability and Transformation Programme, and latterly the NHSI drive to pathology networking. This meant implementing a single LIMS to support multi-site requirements and enable multiple incumbent IT systems to share information.

Barts Health NHS Trust had a mixed estate of LIMS across its sites. The Trust identified that management of multiple systems and hardware platforms was far from optimal, and the migration to a single platform across all sites would improve efficiency and workflow, and would enable all sites to benefit from enhanced WinPath Enterprise functionality.

We consider how the tumultuous events of 2020 will impact on 2021, and how they will affect the company, the NHS, and the world of pathology for years to come.

A laboratory information management system, more commonly referred to as a LIMS, is a software system designed to help manage the workflow and daily operations in a laboratory. What exactly is a LIMS?  Although LIMS providers design their software a bit differently, at its core, the laboratory software system focuses on data management for specimen […]

Steve Abbs is working as a genomics consultant with CliniSys. In the first of a series of blogs on the developing field of genomic testing and precision medicine, he argues how the genomics laboratory hubs being set up in England can benefit from deploying a modern LIMS to enable them to run more efficiently, deliver results effectively to clinicians, and lay the IT foundations for precision medicine.
