Moving. OpenMRS September Cape Town meeting
lemoene
Bika Health LIMS is on the move, albeit via a detour but strongly in the right direction
Poor news 1st. Government paperwork on the grant is still trailing. It is for half of the development cost and available at project completion only. Funding shortfalls remain...
Better news. Bika Lab Systems is completing development of a water quality LIMS and some of the important Bika Health gaps identified here earlier, are addressed too:
Samplers and Sampling workflow - earlier Bika flow starts with
samples readily available and on their way to the lab. Now referrers
may request/order samples to be taken. Samplers are notified and
issued with sampling instructions and labels for containers
Sample partitioning - the labels and instructions are issued in
accordance with the preservation requirements for the tests ordered
and their associated container type and preservation
Preservation and Preservers - separate workflow state and role. Logged
Advanced analysis request templating - simplified request form
completion
Ryan informs me that the OpenMRS interface project did not survive but
provided a spec we'll try to implement. Depending resources. We might
just be able to demo all of this at the OpenMRS 2009 Implementers Group
Meeting in Cape Town 13-17 September (depending successful application;-)

Field Analyses - the sampling instructions include requested field
analyses as a separate classification. Would these be helpful to do
on-the-spot kit tests at remote clinics?
