We’re excited to be releasing a new configuration of the OpenElis software to be deployed in the Clinical labs in Haiti. The new features developed for this configuration are as follows:
- Ability to add multiple results for a single test
- Ability to edit a lab order by adding or removing tests
- Reflex tests for HIV Collodial Gold and Determine tests
- Ability to enable interoperability with iSante EMR, specifically allowing iSante to act as a Master Patient Index (MPI) by having OpenElis query iSante for patient demographics. More on this topic later!
Our next steps include working with the in-country team on training and installation. We also are working to expand interoperability with iSante by developing a results and orders interface. This work will be a good start for generalizing the data exchange mechanism in OpenELIS for interoperability with other EMR systems, such as OpenMRS. In parallel, we are moving forward with finalizing the development for the Haiti LNSP lab configuration that will include reference testing, confirmation testing, external quality assurance, and reporting.
