One platform for One Health surveillance

Human, animal and vector, environmental and regulatory — the surveillance domains that make up One Health, in a single FHIR-native laboratory system. One audit trail, one security model, one source of truth. No bolt-ons, no parallel spreadsheets.

Why it matters

One Health means surveillance across people, animals, vectors, and the environment — because zoonotic spillover, antimicrobial resistance, and waterborne disease don't respect the boundaries between them. Yet most laboratory systems cover only the clinical corner, leaving ministries to run vector programs on paper and environmental monitoring in spreadsheets, then reconcile three siloed records at the end of every quarter. OpenELIS handles all three domains in one system. A zoonotic signal in animal surveillance sits in the same database as the human cases it might explain — with the same accreditation evidence and the same FHIR-native data layer feeding national surveillance.

Three domains, one system

Human health

The full clinical testing lifecycle — patient registration, orders, results, validation, and reporting across HIV, TB, viral load, chemistry, hematology, and pathology — with EMR interoperability. Fifteen-plus years mature, deployed at national scale.

Animal & vector

Vector and reservoir surveillance — trap-site registration, species taxonomy and identification, and pooled specimen testing for zoonotic and arboviral programs. Built for entomology and surveillance teams, not retrofitted from clinical.

Environmental & regulatory

Water, soil, and air against environmental quality regimes — powered by a regulatory evaluation engine that scores any result against any standard, so the same system also handles food safety, pharmaceutical, and product testing.

Clinical pathology case tracking in OpenELIS
Human health — track clinical and histopathology cases from accessioning through validated results, with a full audit trail.
Regulatory compliance dashboard in OpenELIS
Regulatory compliance — automatic pass/fail evaluation against any standard, exceedances, and per-site trends, in the same system.

What makes it actually integrated

One Health isn't three applications sharing a login. Every domain runs on the same OpenELIS core:

  • One data model. Human, animal, and environmental samples are all first-class sample types on the same sample/test/result core — not separate databases stitched together.
  • One security & audit model. Role-based access, chain of custody, and full audit logging apply identically across all three domains. One accreditation story, not three.
  • FHIR-native throughout. Results from every domain surface as FHIR resources, ready for national surveillance systems, data hubs, and cross-domain analysis.
  • One operational picture. The same dashboards, worklists, and reporting engine serve clinical, vector, and regulatory teams — one system for staff to learn, one system to maintain.

Built on proven infrastructure

OpenELIS is standards-aligned for the programs ministries are accountable for — ISO 15189 and ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation, WHO SLIPTA improvement, and FHIR R4 interoperability. The clinical foundation underneath One Health has run national laboratory networks for over 15 years across 26+ countries. Environmental and vector surveillance extend that same proven core — the Indonesia SILNAS partnership runs clinical and environmental testing together in one deployment today.
