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)

OpenELIS Global 2.3 (Feb 2021)
Features:
Enhanced email and SMS result reporting tools for all types of results
New features allow one to set conditions and defaults for messaging.
EG: setting a custom message for non-normal range results for a specific test, and specifying that it should go via SMS to the patient and email to the provider.
One can specify a custom message for any test in the catalog, and specify what method (email or SMS) and in what scenarios the test should be sent (all results, normal range results, or non-normal results).
Ad-hoc notifications, the ability in the order entry screen to specify that an SMS or email should be sent to the ordering physician or patient. Defaults are set via the admin screen.
ASTM Analyzer interfaces
Enhanced analyzer connection functionality to compliment the existing flat file import capability.
Electronic Referrals Functionality
Connecting the reference lab network to the consolidated server
Referred tests arrive electronically to the reference lab, allowing a scan of the barcode on the order or sample to import the test request, and simplify the reception process.
Results are sent back to the requesting system electronically, allowing for much faster results.
This has big implications for Viral Load of HIV testing, Early infant Diagnosis of HIV, COVID-19 and other outbreak diseases, and any reference test where speed of result is of the essence.
It will alleviate some of the bottlenecks faced at reception for reference labs.
New accession number format
Now more total numbers are available per year
The ability to not validate accession number format
This allows any number to be used as long as it doesn’t already exist in the system.
The practical application is that one could use commercially pre-printed barcodes, or use different prefixes for different purposes within one lab
Note: part of the 2.2 patch release

Custom pre-printed barcode accession number formatting
Allows use of a custom prefix for preprinted barcodes.
Pediatric reference ranges added
We now support reference (normal) and valid ranges going down to days! This is very useful for pediatric testing.
We also added days to age entry on the order entry page.
