Description

1. Course Description:

This course equips Biomedical Laboratory Scientists with the knowledge to implement and leverage LIMS for streamlined data management, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency in African laboratories. Participants will explore core LIMS functionalities, integration with lab instruments/EHRs, and its transformative impact on diagnostic accuracy, research collaboration, and accreditation readiness. Real-world case studies highlight LIMS adoption in resource-limited settings.

 

2. Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will:

• Understand LIMS architecture and its role in modern lab operations.
• Master core LIMS functions: automated data capture, sample tracking, and QC integration.
• Navigate system integration with lab instruments (e.g., HPLC, PCR) and EHRs.
• Implement regulatory compliance (ISO 15189, CLIA) through LIMS-driven workflows.
• Evaluate LIMS benefits for African labs: efficiency, traceability, and accreditation support.
• Plan LIMS implementation: customization, scalability, and staff training strategies.
