實驗室資訊管理系統

LABORATORY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

電腦善加應用於分析實驗室中檢驗儀器自動化及管理實驗室相關資訊，可以增加實驗室產量，提昇檢驗品質。本文探討實驗室為達電腦化所建立之「實驗室資訊管理系統」，包括系統規劃設計之考慮，該系統之硬體組態與軟體功能，系統完成後之維持工作，及電腦化所帶來之影響。關於軟體製作之功能需求論及檢體點收及登錄，工作分配，儀器數據獲取與處理，資料驗証及製作報告，資料庫管理，資料備份及復原，檢驗統計，財務及庫存管理，系統求助，系統安全，作業監督控制，系統執行績效，品質管制，遵循優良實驗操作規範，儀器界面及電腦網路等。

In order to increase lab productivity and high quality testing results, modern analytical laboratories introduce computer to assist information management and instrument automation, this paper presents a comprehensive concepts of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for a computerized lab, including design of LIMS, hardware configuration and software function considerations, analytical information flow, validation of LIMS computers, database facilities, data communications, auditing trail and security issues etc. Finally, benefits of LIMS are discussed.
