You may be surprised to know that data management has been of primary concern in the health industry for the past decade. Not only is it vital to the growth of the company, but it is also essential to find a way to efficiently and safely manage critical data relating to millions of patients.

However, many corporations have started seeing the benefits of using Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN) to manage and document their data.

Suppose you’ve never heard of an ELN before, or you’re wondering about how it works and benefits the healthcare industry. In that case, you can find out everything you need to know just from this article because we will be covering 4 of the most important advantages that clinical labs get by using an ELN. So let’s dive right in!

Data Management has Never Been Easier

It’s true that every year, thousands of new applications are developed to help the corporate world tackle all the problems they face with data management.

However, the healthcare industry, in particular, has struggled to find ways in which they can efficiently manage and keep track of all their medical records, documents, research, and patients.

However, with the introduction of applications like Colabra’s Electronic Lab Notebook, clinical labs have been able to simplify their problems by having a centralized data management system, where numerous records can be stored online on the cloud.

Since most ELNs are powered by the cloud, saving and retrieving data is never an issue, no matter what device the person uses.

No Room for Mistakes

Early on, there were many ways in which errors often made it into clinical documentation. Either it was because there was no centralized data management, so everyone had to rely on different tools to enter and upload their data, or there was no cross-examination due to the use of multiple devices and applications for storage and collaboration.

However, ELNs make this process simpler by giving everyone the ability to access and verify any document that has been uploaded at any point in time—not to mention that many other applications can be integrated with an ELN, making it much easier to process, edit, and check all the data that has been entered.

Collaboration Made Easy

At any given point in time, anyone in the clinic can access any information regarding a patient or a group of people without any hassle.

There’s no struggle to find the right information about a patient’s entire medical history because all their medical data is constantly being uploaded to the same server.

This makes things easier for physicians who have to deal with numerous patients every day and don’t have time to manually sift through individual files every single time.

Safety and Security

Many labs have been wary of the misuse or loss of vital data and medical history records. It’s not easy to find software that’s not only safe but also secure and won’t mishandle the personal data of millions of patients. However, ELNs come with tight privacy policies, making them apt for the healthcare industry.

Not only will you never have to worry about important data being erased or lost, but you will also have complete control over what’s yours, without the risk of data being stolen or mishandled—this is because there are many different ways in which the data is protected, but you’ll need to make sure to invest in an ELN which goes to great lengths to protect the privacy of their users.
