Assessment of utilization of automated systems and laboratory information management systems in clinical microbiology laboratories in Thailand
In Thailand, various automated systems for blood culture and LIMS are utilized. However, barriers to data management and analysis are common. These challenges are likely present in other upper-middle-income countries. We propose that guidance and technical support for automated systems, LIMS and data analysis are needed.
