OpenELIS Global 2.4 (September 2021)

Features:

  • Complete redesign of the referral workflow:
    • These new features should help labs manage a large number of tests that will be referred to a lab for results. This should be extremely useful for sites where COVID sampling is happening and sent to a lab for analysis, or for the viral load testing as part of HIV care, but has many other uses as well.
    • Now tests sent to reference laboratories can be sent and received electronically
    • Reception of referred samples can be accomplished by just scanning the barcode
    • Patient reports can be printed directly from the referral screen
    • Status of all referred tests can be seen in the tables
    • See the user manual for a complete representation of changes, or visit the demo
    • One step referral from both the order entry screen and the results entry screen
    • Default the sent date to the current date when referring a test
    • Default the ordered test to the selected test in the referral menu
  • Redesign of the electronic orders page
    • Search for incoming orders by passport number, national ID, referred lab number, etc
    • Enter an order directly from the electronic orders screen
    • View details of an incoming order
  • Print patient reports by patient
    • Search for a patient and generate all reports for them in the patient report screen
  • Add checking to ensure that no characters that can cause a system error can be saved in the “Lab Number” field, even if validation is deactivated
  • Ability to designate a lab test as “In Lab Only”, creating the ability to designate an internal QA check test that is not reported on the patient report.
  • Units / Wards in a hospital no longer need to have unique names
  • Result and validation screens capped to 99 results for faster loading
  • Biological Validation Screens: Created the ability to validate by accession number or by range of accession numbers.
  • Increased the speed of results and validation screen loading
  • Increased the speed of saving results and validation screens
  • QuantStudio 3
    • Create experiment files for QS3 with plate setup and results file import
  • Removed the non-interactive background images
  • Improved the new patient demographic import
    • First the system searches the local DB and displays any options, then it displays the options downloaded from the remote demographics server when they are ready
    • Previously, it would wait till all sources were finished before displaying results
  • Fixed various issues with the test catalog tools (significant digit fixes, switching test types, adding options to result entry)
  • Fixed various bugs, including the “Too many redirects” installer bug
  • Updates to patch potential security vulnerabilities
    • Did a full scan for vulnerabilities, both in source code and a scan of the application
    • Fixed security issues, updated any software moving to end of life, updated the target installation environment to Ubuntu 20.

Consolidated Lab Data Warehouse Features:

  • Holds information about every OpenELIS test run in a national lab network
  • Serves the latest facility registry information, including wards
  • Now collects more of the OpenELIS data model in FHIR format, including sample information and codable concepts for lab results
  • “Data Mart” style flat table creation for reporting on specific indicators
    • COVID-19 Reporting is the first set of indicators developed
    • This produces tables that can have visualizations developed using any data analysis software (EG: PowerBI, Tableau, Big Query, etc)
