Abstract

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are foundational components of modern biomedical, pharmaceutical, and public health infrastructure. This paper evaluates whether higher levels of laboratory automation, LIMS maturity, and LIMS–GIS integration are associated with improved pandemic response performance, including diagnostic turnaround time (TAT), testing throughput, and epidemiological data completeness. Using a structured, reproducible, literature-based comparative methodology that draws from peer-reviewed studies and public health sources, this study finds a consistent association between informatics maturity and superior system-level performance, supporting its relevance to U.S. national interests.
