Electronic Laboratory Notebooks

Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) continue to replace pen and paper systems for data recording, to improve efficiency and data manageability.  Recording data on a central host system also improves knowledge sharing within an organization. 
Although many labs have moved to electronic systems, they are still not the norm due to challenges inherent in making the transition as well as questions about integrating with other lab systems.
 
As more and more researcher managers look toward ELNs for enhanced lab management, softward systems must be developed that are scalable and configurable to meet vastly different needs.  The market has responded with many new products available for those considering implementation or looking to improve their current system.

    INTEGRATING ELNs WITHIN THE LABORATORY INFORMATICS ARCHITECTURE

    Joe Peden

    Joe Peden, General Manager, STARLIMS Europe

  • ELN’s are not just standalone systems working in isolation; they are part of the organization’s entire Laboratory Informatics architecture
  • The data and information they contain is of value throughout all parts of the laboratory and scientific organization and therefore of value to the business as a whole.
  • As just one part of the Informatics Architecture and set of scientific data the information they hold needs to be easily available to all interested parties authorized to access it throughout the organization
  • To prevent the data and information held in ELNs (and all other systems such as LIMS, CDS etc) being isolated organizations must define a Laboratory Informatics Architecture and implement methods and system to bring all data and information within the scientific organization together
  • This presentation will discuss these issues in more detail and show how real issues such as compound document management and the realization of information and knowledge assets can be achieved within the laboratory

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates
