The LIMS has improved the relationship between the laboratory and the hospital | 0/13 (0) | 0/13 (0) | 0/13 (0) | 4/13 (31) | 9/13 (69) |
The introduction of the LIMS has improved the accuracy and speed of laboratory tests results | 0/13 (0) | 0/13 (0) | 2/13 (15) | 5/13 (38) | 6/13 (46) |
A LIMS should have been implemented in the organisation a long time ago | 2/13 (15) | 0/13 (0) | 1/13 (8) | 6/13 (46) | 4/13 (31) |
Sometimes we need to find a way around the LIMS to run laboratory tests or release results | 0/13 (0) | 0/13 (0) | 2/13 (15) | 5/13 (38) | 6/13 (46) |
Complaints from clinicians have increased after implementation of the LIMS | 1/13 (8) | 5/13 (38) | 6/13 (46) | 0/13 (0) | 1/13 (8) |
