Unit 4: Laboratory Techniques and their ApplicationD: Understand how scientific information may be stored and communicated in a workplace
laboratory
To meet the needs of the customer and ensure traceability, a great deal of scientific data is
collected and processed in a functioning laboratory. Any organisation, regardless of how big or
small the team, must have traceability. Each team member must take ownership of their role
and adhere to the specific protocol for a laboratory, and the group as a whole must be well-
organized. The workplace needs secure logging in technology that is updated often since
employees have access to many different sorts of important data. Because they make it
possible to monitor who has accessed or interacted with scientific data, signatures are
essential. Organization of all documents is essential. The type of record has a substantial impact
on where these records are kept. So that the sample can be tracked down and a record of who
handled the case may be retained, documents like samples, for instance, must be booked in
and given a distinct ID number, or code. It is possible to keep results logs on paper, on a
computer, or in a notebook. It is imperative that only those who need the data, whether they
be particular individuals in internal or external scientific workplaces, be given access to the
results. 5Reports and analyses must be kept on paper or electronically, together with
certificates of analysis.
The usage of LIMS (laboratory information management systems) allows for the extraction of
meaningful scientific data from large data volumes. Laboratories can enter and store data using
the LIMS system. Similar to a filing cabinet, LIMS stores information online as opposed to on
paper. This might have both advantages and disadvantages. It may be easier for the workplace
to keep track of important data if enormous amounts of scientific data are stored online rather
than in files and on paper. In science laboratory settings, it is necessary to organise and
maintain records of training, scientific data, and health and safety information. Instead of
having to go through several files and papers to get the documents they need, having this
information online can assist the organisation access information more rapidly. Commented [SC1]: Good Job (P7)
Additionally, using LIMS makes it simpler for the business to get the required licences and
certifications and to provide these licences and certifications to anybody who requests them.
Since businesses must keep track of a lot of customer information, product details,
manufacturing data, and warehouse data, scientific workplaces will also profit from
implementing LIMS to store data. Because this information is accessible online, it may be kept
current and utilised to create databases or spreadsheets that facilitate operations. Since
scientific companies need to keep track of data and samples, LIMS can be helpful. Comparing
them to other results and samples is significantly simpler when they are available online. It may
also be simpler to send this information safely and swiftly to people who need it. Commented [SC2]: Good.
NHS
, Everyone's information is kept on file by the NHS, including your name, date of birth, address,
and phone number, as well as information on your health problems and diseases, medications,
and other treatments, as well as a record of any interactions you have had with medical
professionals. When you get medical or social services, this information is obtained to help with
your care and treatment. This information is particularly important since they need to have
access to all of your data and be aware of any and all medical conditions you could have in
order to give you the care you need. The NHS is responsible for keeping these records secure
since they contain information on thousands of people's medical histories. They use a secure
border service called virtual perimeter security as one of their methods. Their border security
service provides perimeter security defence against security risks. This approach is a part of a
larger initiative to defend clinical and business systems against fresh threats while also ensuring
the security, integrity, and availability of patient data, which is being overseen by NHS Digital's
Data Security Centre (DSC). The solution uses web application security system (WAF) and next
generation firewall (NGFW) protection to defend internet traffic from digital and cloud-based
threats. Commented [SC3]: Excellent research here. (P7, P8, M
This has numerous benefits, beginning with visibility. Because network traffic is now more
visible, NHS organisations may now better manage their own risk. On behalf of the NHS as a
whole, it enables them to find hazardous material hidden inside encrypted communications.
Another benefit is that it provides more comprehensive threat data, enabling them to react
quickly to incidents throughout the NHS. You can see a full picture of everything going on in
your neighbourhood with advanced threat prevention. Additionally, it enables you to raise your
Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) and Data Security Protection Toolkit (DSPT) test scores. Throughout
the development of the service, the solution will continue to be compliant with the CE+, DSPT,
National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and IT Healthcare (ITHC) regimes. Finally, it is purchased
on a large scale in accordance with a single national standard, enabling the NHS to plan better
and save money. The solution is free to run the service for NHS organisations (centrally
financed). However, the closure of the onboarding programme, which had been running for
more than two years, resulted in a cost to NHS organisations to support the onboarding
initiative.
They also make use of a service called Vulnerability Monitoring Service. Regularly, this service
does a non-intrusive external vulnerability scan. They may use it to decide which actions to take
first to strengthen the organization's cyber security. The advantages include increased patient
safety and an improvement in the organization's cyber security. It contributes to the return of
the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) by satisfying the criteria for vulnerability
assessments. It helps the NHS get ready for the cyber security portion of the Care Quality
Commission (CQC) assessment and satisfy its obligations under the Network and Information
Systems (NIS) directive. Finally, it contributes to resource efficiency and improved efficiency by
resolving recognised deficiencies. Commented [SC4]: Good (M6) you've focused on secu
which is an essential part of any organisation that deals w
masses of public data and information.
