Standard Guide for Functional Requirements of Clinical Laboratory Information Management Systems
Scope
This guide covers the capabilities needed for a logical structure of a Clinical Laboratory Information
Management System (CLIMS). It was written so that both the vendors or developers of CLIMS and laboratory
managers would have a common understanding of the requirements and logical structure of a laboratory data
system. This guide will also help answer many of the questions faced by designers of CLIMS and provide more
uniformity in the way that requirements are expressed from one laboratory to another. It is therefore applicable to
users who are involved with acquiring or operating a CLIMS.
