Standard Guide for Functional Requirements of Clinical Laboratory Information Management Systems<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Preface In 2001, ASTM Committee E31 decided to restructure its operations, with the intent of focusing on standards-development issues such as security, privacy, and the electronic health record. Part of the reorganization plan was to explore the option of transferring responsibility for nine E31.13 standards to NCCLS. The NCCLS Area Committee on Automation and Informatics, at its meeting in April 2002, reached a positive assessment of the value of the ASTM standards and encouraged the NCCLS Executive Offices staff to pursue negotiations with ASTM on transferring these standards to NCCLS. Following this transfer, these nine standards (formerly ASTM E792; E1029; E1238; E1246; E1381; E1394; E1466; E1639; and E2118) have been redesignated as NCCLS standards LIS1 through LIS9. The Area Committee on Automation and Informatics has assumed responsibility for maintaining the documents and will revise or update each document in accord with NCCLS Administrative Procedures. This document is the equivalent of ASTM E1639-01 but has been redesignated and is now maintained by NCCLS. This document has been approved as an American National Standard (ANSI\/ASTM E1639-01).<\/p>\n
Scope 1.1 This guide covers the capabilities needed for a logical structure of a Clinical Laboratory Information Management System (CLIMS). It was written so that both the vendors or developers of CLIMS and laboratory managers would have a common understanding of the requirements and logical structure of a laboratory data system. This guide will also help answer many of the questions faced by designers of CLIMS and provide more uniformity in the way that requirements are expressed from one laboratory to another. It is therefore applicable to users who are involved with acquiring or operating a CLIMS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[26],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
