Case Study: a leading hospital streamlines molecular lab workflows with Semaphore Solutions’ custom LIMS

How Semaphore implemented an integrated LIMS for a large scale Molecular & Genomic Pathology Hospital Laboratory

Semaphore Solutions worked with Leading Hospital, a large hospital system’s molecular and genomic pathology laboratory, to address the burden of repetitive paperwork, manual data entry, and calculations that were slowing down high-volume clinical sample processing. The lab also needed a laboratory information management system, specifically BaseSpace Clarity LIMS, that would fit its workflow and integrate with its existing EMR and LIS.

Semaphore Solutions delivered a custom, fully integrated LIMS with HL7 connectivity, automated accessioning, batched sample processing, plate assignments, reagent calculations, bench notes, instrument integration, and internal tracking reports. The result was less repetitive work, reduced human error, improved turnaround time, and better transparency for audits and accreditation, helping technicians focus more on analysis and enabling physicians to act on results sooner.
