The OpenELIS Global community is committed to helping healthcare providers and their clients handle the COVID-19 outbreak.
High-quality rapid lab information at scale is pivotal during a pandemic, enabling disease monitoring and surveillance. OpenELIS Global can be a crucial part of any health system and can be essential in the pandemic response. OpenELIS uses modern FHIR-based APIs to interact with other parts of a health information system and can be deployed as part of a broader lab information system network, bringing national-level lab data to a central location in real-time in order to provide up-to-the-minute data for dashboards and reporting.
OpenELIS Global has the COVID-19 tests (SARS-CoV-2) as part of the default catalog and the ability to configure test results to be returned to patients and providers via email and SMS! This helps get vital results back into the hands of those who need them as fast as possible!
We also support interoperability with many lab analyzers used for COVID19 and other communicable diseases like GenXpert.
