Abstract
iSpecimen recently launched a program designed to help healthcare providers offer their biospecimens to researchers more easily by seamlessly connecting their sample and data management systems to the company's iSpecimen Marketplace online platform.
The iSpecimen Data Connector Program provides off-the-shelf data connectors for a variety of widely used medical record systems, including laboratory information management systems (LIMs), laboratory information systems (LIs), and integrated electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
“Biorepositories and other healthcare organizations need more operating revenue, more awareness for their biospecimen collections, and an easy way to connect to researchers who desperately need samples,” said Christopher Ianelli, M.D., Ph.D., founder and CEO, iSpecimen. “Through our Data Connector Program and integration with the iSpecimen Marketplace, participating LIMS, LIS, and EMR vendors gain more value to offer their customers.”

The iSpecimen Data Connector Program is open to all major vendors of LIMs, LIs, EMR systems, and databases that manage biospecimen data. Participating software vendors will receive up-front technology development support to interface their systems with the iSpecimen Marketplace, as well as marketing support designed to raise awareness of the combined solution, iSpecimen said.
