IQPC's 6th Forum on Laboratory Informaticswill showcase today's Laboratory Informatics leaders including individuals from John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, Merck & Co.

"This conference will offer insight and practical knowledge on overcoming emerging challenges with effective informatics and ELN strategies from top experts," said IQPC Conference Director, Cathy Gu.
In a recent podcast, Michael Elliot, CEO of Atrium Research & Consulting LLC discussed optimizing data management processes:
"Users can sometimes underestimate the importance of workflow analysis in the lab environment when evaluating new informatics technologies. Combine this with the wide variety of software tools used by scientists and lack of standard naming conventions across departments, there are a number of resultant integration challenges, not the least of which is the level of change management required. A process for change management is essential for achieving a successful project outcome."
