OpenELIS Global 2.1

In OpenELIS Global 2.1
Added a FHIR R4 based API for electronic test orders and results reporting. We have a FHIR API which allows OpenELIS Global to accept electronic test requests, electronic transmission of test results and allows the use of a centralized consolidated lab data server for reporting. This interoperability uses LOINC to match ordered tests with the internal catalog. More details at docs.openelis-global.org
Added support for electronic signatures for lab reporting
OpenELIS Global is now in full compliance with the WHO’s Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) checklist (https://aslm.org/resource/whos-stepwise-laboratory-quality-improvement-process-towards-accreditation-slipta-checklist/)
