COVID-19 Testing, Reporting, and Information Management in the Laboratory
Comprehensive guide to all aspects of testing and information management related to COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2.
ATLANTA — Amidst the rapidly-changing and conflicting messages surrounding testing in the current pandemic, LabLynx, Inc., has published a free online book of carefully researched and fully cited news, facts and resources to serve as a reference for the laboratory and laboratory informatics industry. This book is provided by LabLynx as a free, open access ebook published through the LiMSforum.com site.
Testing is at the forefront of attention globally, playing a crucial role in providing the data to drive government and social policy during the global pandemic. Though SARS, MERS and other epidemics provide the industry with some ideas about how to cope, the sheer scope of the COVID-19 situation has little precedent, and labs find themselves breaking new ground in dealing with it. Consequently, this new publication provides a much-needed reference point for laboratory and informatics professionals to navigate their way through the various demands and challenges they currently face.
