LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIMS)
A laboratory information management system (LIMS), sometimes referred to as a laboratory
information system (LIS) or laboratory management system (LMS), is a software-
based laboratory and information management system with features that support a modern
laboratory's operations. Key features include — but are not limited to — workflow and data
tracking support, flexible architecture, and data exchange interfaces, which fully "support its use
in regulated environments". The features and uses of a LIMS have evolved over the years from
simple sample tracking to an enterprise resource planning tool that manages multiple aspects
of laboratory informatics.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIMS


SPECIALIZED LIMS
BIOINFORMATICS
HOSPITAL INFOMATION SYSTEM (HIS)
A hospital information system (HIS) is an element of health informatics that focuses mainly on
the administrational needs of hospitals. In many implementations, a HIS is a comprehensive,
integrated information system designed to manage all the aspects of a hospital's operation, such
as medical, administrative, financial, and legal issues and the corresponding processing of
services.

Hospital Information System architecture has three main levels, Central Government Level,
Territory Level, and Patient Carrying Level. Generally, all types of hospital information system
(HIS) are supported in client-server architectures for networking and processing. Most work
positions for HIS are currently resident types. Mobile computing began with wheeled PC stands.
Now tablet computers and Smartphone applications are used.

PHARMACOKINETICS
Pharmacokinetics, sometimes described as what the body does to a drug, refers to the
movement of drug into, through, and out of the body—the time course of
its absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Pharmacodynamics, described as what a drug does to the body, involves receptor binding,
postreceptor effects, and chemical interactions. Drug pharmacokinetics determines the onset,
duration, and intensity of a drug’s effect.

Pharmacokinetics of a drug depends on patient-related factors as well as on the drug’s chemical


properties. Some patient-related factors (eg, renal function, genetic makeup, sex, age) can be
used to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters in populations. For example, the half-life of some
drugs, especially those that require both metabolism and excretion, may be remarkably long in
the elderly
