A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) enhances laboratory operations by automating workflows, integrating instruments, and efficiently managing sample data. It works in tandem with the Impilo EHR to optimize blood sample collection processes, notifying laboratories in advance of incoming samples and verifying them via barcodes. The system also streamlines the return of results and notifies patients when their results are available for collection at the facility. While primarily focused on health-related areas, it supports various other functions.
