First and foremost, the management and analysis of the current caseload and case production is the responsibility of the section supervisor.  The LIMS is simply a tool to assist in this process.

LIMS goals:

  • Immediately assess the status and progress of a given evidence submission.
  • Produce a quick snapshot of the overall current caseload at any time.

Information examples may include

  • types and numbers of current cases,
  • cases completed on a weekly, monthly, or year-to-date basis,
  • number and type of examinations completed,
  • cases not meeting agency guidelines by unit or by examiner,
  • current status and cumulative statistics for each area by subdiscipline,
  • current status and cumulative statistics by individual examiner.
