Introduction
It is essential to have a place an area for storing and communicating information important in
scientific workplaces, as companies may have several sites in a country or aborde and
communing between these places effectively is important as multiply task may need to be
completed before everything can be finished, in this example research may also need to to
be shared. Another example of why this is important is that to conduct research. Usually,
companies will share and compare their information, so sharing information and storing
information is essential if research is being conducted into a new drug, for staff can access
the storage of information about a person in the medical and veterinary work as this
information, such as allergies, could be life or death. Also, next of kin information for a
patient or such is essential and must order correctly as the worth decisions could be made
when delivering drugs or medicine.
The different types of information obtained in the scientific workplace are COOSH is
essential to record it is important to make sure any accidents and hazards are recorded and
any hazards on-site such as chemicals. Scientific data are usually stored on computers;
these are usually in PDF format and are more beneficial as paper can pose a health and
safety risk and fire risk. Books and research data can be stored in paper format and kept
on-site and a digital copy of other data for easy access. These records are usually held on
an excel sheet that a special user can access; this data is usually converted to tables or
graphs. A record of all apparatus and if anything is broken. It also allows for more apparatus
to be ordered. Waste disposal data is stored on excel sheets which are also protected by
passwords. A calendar also stores all the dates when waste removal is secured; all data is
stored on a computer and double-checked. Health and safety checks risk assessments are
written for chemicals and any hazards stored on a computer and record any accidents.
Training records are stored information about the levels of qualifications and training levels
for staff members; it is important to record them; training officers often keep these records.
Quality assurance allows the quality products to be followed and carried out correctly. Report
records are records for Gps and hospitals or records essential for research. Specification
levels, usually the organisation’s level works at the microorganism, are there—management
information of the company’s hierarchy. Security in different areas of the lab may require
different levels of security; this depends on the areas being worked in.
How scientific information is recorded and meets the customers’ needs, and ensures
traceability.
Traceability is essential in most organisations, whatever the size or type of institution; this is
because each member of the organisation needs to take responsibility for signing forms or
writing up reports. For example, if a task has to be completed, a staff member and a
manager will usually sign off the report or task to show that it has been completed. The
security of a task is also essential. Staff typically have different logins which are reassured
with them and allow the changes or records with them.
Records within laboratories
All records should be kept for the organisation for any work completed; each organisation
will have their way of keeping records and how they are kept. Although this system should
be efficient, it allows for traceability. Records are usually stored on computers; even if
records are handwritten in laboratories such as a lab book, these are also placed on the
computer. An example of recording and tracing samples going through a laboratory is a
chemical. This process would look like the sample being delivered, and to the organisation,
the time and date of the delivery would be recorded. The sample would then be booked in on
a computer system with all of its key information stored on a specialised barcode placed on
the sample, which recorded key information; this booking in the system would allow for the
information about the original sample to be recorded. When the sample is used or changed,
, this must be recorded and signed in and out by the staff member who is using it. This leaves
a compuised trail of the sample and allows the sample to be traced. Any analysis of the
sample is recorded and stored on a computer along with the barcode number to enable the
sample to be traced and located and understand what to write in a report to a customer. The
report or results will then sent to any customers who will be allowed to see any result or
analysis of the sample. If the report is interested in the organisation, this will usually be
stored on a digital label book for the organisation. This could be used in team meetings or to
create a report. For results for doctors, these are usually sent to a Gp in a format that is sent
with crucial information, which then, in turn, can be told in language to the patient that needs
the results. If a report is sent directly to a patient, the language used must be language that
the person will understand and not be confused with the information.
What a LIMS is and how LIMS operates
Many labs have LIMS, which functions as a computerised filing cabinet. The system allows
for data to be attributed and then informed, ordered and organised; the system is customised
to each organisation. The system can store graphical documents and text documents and
results; it also can alert the lab of incoming samples and then, in turn, produces a barcode
for the sample; this can be processed with a handheld device to scan barcodes are
connected to the sample. This sample can then go through the system with minable extra
work for the staff. The system can also allow for stock levels to be monitored these could be
ingredients or products and must be kept at a certain level for the company or organisation
to continue working on their research or other processes depending on how sophisticated
the system is the documentation for the lavatory could be taken over entirely by the system.
An example of a laboratory information management system would be in a facility that tests
blood samples; the system would allow processes such as the registration of the blood
sample where the system would be logged onto the system and then, in turn, registered a
barcode this registration process would go to the reception of the lab which is where the
barcode labels for this sample would be printed this sample would then be sent to a
preparation area. It could be tracked by the barcode produced by the system after
preparation; the sample would be all located to a place of work where instruments analyse
the sample and allow the system to collect data. These technicians will enable the necessary
testing after the necessary testing report can be written in file format on a computer and
transferred onto the system if any validation or retesting is required. The sample would then
go through the approval stage where its mate needs to be re-tested; after all, results are
found, the sample we're going to the reporting stage where a staff member would write a
report would go onto the system. If necessary, the technique could also produce specialised
reports or statistics and graphs; these reports will then be put onto an archive in the system,
which allows for traceability of the customer just in case anything needs to be reported or
retrieved from the report, which may be important information and the future.
How a workplace laboratory records and processes large datasets of scientific information
The data protection act is an act that was passed in 1998 by the UK government, and this
act controls how information and data are handled and allows for legal rights to people who
have data and information stored about them. This is important to the scientific community
as data or results often contain information from a person, such as birth dates or other
personal information. The act also allows for any data stored about a person to be released
to that person and how the data should be stored, which reduces the amount of information
that may leak about a person and also protects a person and tries to prevent any information
