COVID-19 LIMS solution implemented for onsite workplace health and safety
LabVantage Solutions has announced that a global consumer packaged goods (CPG) company has deployed the LabVantage COVID-19 LIMS solution to ensure employee health and safety in the workplace, according to a LabVantage press release.
The U.S.-based CPG company opened an in-house COVID-19 testing center where employees can quickly and safely be tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID illnesses. In-house health and laboratory professionals can quickly schedule, collect samples, test, track, and report results. The CPG company already uses the enterprise LIMS across areas of its organization. When LabVantage announced its new solution specific to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CPG company was able to implement it in under six weeks for onsite employee testing that supports a safer workplace.
Having the testing process onsite saves time and gives the employees the convenience of not having to go to a hospital or doctor’s office for a test. Employees displaying symptoms, or those who request a test, can be scheduled quickly for an appointment. The LIMS prepares the sample request, labels sample specimens, tracks all patient and sample data following privacy and security protocols, such as HIPAA and GDPR, and handles results and reporting in a single easy-to-use interface.
The LIMS solution is designed for companies that are equipped to conduct all testing-related work in-house, as well as for organizations that do not have their own testing facilities, but who work with third-party laboratories. In addition, the COVID-19 LIMS can be hosted on the cloud or offered as SaaS and is highly scalable.
