System for Informatics in the Molecular Pathology Laboratory (SIMPL)

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) diagnostic assays are increasingly becoming the standard of care in oncology practice. As the scale of an NGS laboratory grows, management of these assays requires organizing large amounts of information, including patient data, laboratory processes, genomic data, as well as variant interpretation and reporting. Although several Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) and/or Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are commercially available, they may not meet all of the needs of a given laboratory, in addition to being frequently cost prohibitive.
