Evaluating Clinical Diagnostics Informatics Solutions

This white paper discusses critical considerations for evaluating clinical diagnostics informatics solutions, specifically focusing on the build versus buy decision. It outlines six key success criteria that laboratory leaders should assess, including scalability, sample turnaround time, quality, security, compliance, global expansion capabilities, and the flexibility and extensibility of the systems. The paper emphasizes the importance of having a robust informatics solution that can manage the increasing complexity and volume of genomic data while adhering to regulatory requirements. It also highlights the challenges faced by diagnostic providers when their existing systems become inadequate due to growth in demand. The document presents case studies illustrating how specific platforms can address these challenges, ensuring efficient data management and compliance with industry standards. Overall, the white paper serves as a guide for laboratories to make informed decisions about their informatics infrastructure.
