The MbioLIMS Biobanking solution allows laboratories to manage their staff utilisation of the system to maximise efficiency and restrict access where necessary.
Organisation staff and their requirements or restrictions of use should be a large factor in the planned use of LIMS.
This can, and should be applied to two areas:
1)Functionality
2)Data
1) The different needs of the lab staff, management team and other users with access can be considered with MbioLIMS Biobanking to create directed and efficient use.
The home dashboard provides an immediate snapshot of the current situation with samples, issues, distribution etc within the laboratory. Management reports and saved searches can be easily accessible and shareable, and the required outputs created.
For laboratory staff, the procedures and day to day operations is made available in intuitive and user-friendly screens. Working lists and shortcut hyperlinks minimise the clicks required to achieve any goal. Administrators can also easily change and manage this access which also can facilitate a training and competence program that is supported by the system.
Processes and records can also be completed with SOPs, images and other required documentation while every action and step is audited.
MbioLIMS Biobanking has a process driven interface which can be segregated into the required studies, and protocols that fit the logged in user requirements. As time progresses, the incremental time saving on efficient use is its own return on investment.
2) Although the functionality is paramount to the users, there may also often the requirement to compartmentalise the data. This allow users representing different teams or facilities to have access to what they should, and need to.
Multiple laboratories / Users / Sites can connect using MbioLIMS Biobanking Compartmentalisation module, creating multiple use of a main licence, that is perfect for organisational access. At a site level, this may apply to data, storage options, patient information that is specific to that site unless access is granted. One central site may require access to all, or some views may need to be ”read only”
MbioLIMS Biobanking prevents the viewing of sample, or more pertinently patient data to those that do not have access. It is also possible to completely anonymise clinical data, and work with just unique identifiers instead. MbioLIMS Biobanking can protect and separate data so that only users that have the correct credentials and access can see it.
Overall, consideration of what users can do, what they can’t do, and how to make the experience positive for them and beneficial for the Organisation goals is very important.
MbioLIMS Biobanking offers unlimited user accounts for each site licence, allowing your teams and business to grow alongside a managed LIMS.
