OpenELIS is a free and open-source laboratory information system (LIS) currently being developed by a team at the University of Washington.
Product history
The OpenELIS project evolved out of a partnership between the Public Health Informatics Institute (PHII) and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) in late 2002, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.[2][3] The members of the collaboration were tasked with a "ground-up" effort to develop business processes and system requirements for laboratory informatics systems in the realm of public health.[3][4] This work — together with six U.S. states — eventually led to the 2003 publication of a specifications document called Requirements for Public Health Laboratory Information Management Systems, which detailed "all functions that a public health laboratory information system must be capable of supporting."[3][5]
After the publication of this document representatives from three of the involved six states — Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas — expressed interest in putting the ideas in the Requirements document into action in the form of an open-source LIMS system. From this desire another collaborative effort occurred to make such software a reality in the form of the Open Electronic Laboratory Information System or OpenELIS. Kansas eventually had to drop out of the project, but Minnesota and Iowa continued on with development in 2004, all while the APHL and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) increased interest in the project through their humanitarian work in parts of Africa and Vietnam.[4] However, as development on the software had been mostly U.S.-centric, an adaptation had to be developed, including language translations and regional addressing. Inevitably, this turned into its own independent branch of the software, including development by local Vietnamese, making the software truly international. Meanwhile domestic development continued in Minnesota and Iowa, with Minnesota's code base sharing similarities with Vietnam's, while Iowa was branching out with its own slightly-modified version.[4]
By early-2008 the Minnesota State Public Health Laboratory was testing its implementation of OpenLIMS, while Vietnam began testing theirs in February at the District Four Health Center in Ho Chi Minh City and the National Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Hanoi.[2][6] The Vietnam branch in particular was seen by the APHL as "a rare opportunity to learn from the mistakes we've made with laboratory information systems domestically and to implement them right the first time in these other countries."[6]
In April 2008, the OpenELIS team reached out to the members and collaborators (including the University of Washington) of the OpenMRS open-source project[7], a project dedicated to supporting the delivery of health care in developing countries.[8] Weeks of discussions led to an agreement to create an OpenELIS developer community as well as a potential connecting of OpenELIS with OpenMRS.[7]
At roughly the same time as OpenELIS was being developed, a different collaboration was occurring in Haiti between the University of Washington's Clinical Informatics Research Group, headed by Dr. Bill Lober, and the University of California, San Francisco. Known as the International Training and Education Center on HIV (I-TECH), this team worked with yet another group called the Clinical Informatics Research Group (CIRG) to improve the electronic medical record systems of Haiti.
A SourceForge beta project started on December 2, 2008, though little activity occurred there.[9].
