%X Laboratory information systems (LISs) have some basic functionality necessary for
molecular workflow that is glaringly absent. This study determined functionality gaps
of LISs in molecular laboratories and the associated impact to workflow, efficiency,
and security by collecting anonymous survey data from clinical laboratory professionals.
A 34-question survey (30 required£¿+£¿4 optional) was compiled using an online survey
tool. Participants were recruited through several professional molecular society listservs
and given 4 weeks to complete the survey.
