Soon after release, feature rich Bika LIMS 2 will be used as basis for developing Bika Health 1, our first LIMS specialised for the health laboratory discipline

Bika LIMS 2's analysis profiling and worksheet templating will be put to full use for one click requests of collections of analyses always grouped and processed together, as for TB and HIV testing. Ditto the new QC module and true working time calendar for late analysis alerts

We expect much of the sample preparation stages and workflow required by medical  micro-biological analyses to be generically similar to the fire assay procedures in geological laboratories and this development will be shared with Bika Fire Assay, our other project scheduled for 2008

Depending which Electronic Medical Records system (EMR) Bika Health will exchange data with in first implementation, a patient module and EMR interface will also be added  for Bika Health. Bika 2's analysis requests and publishing per import/export file will be modified to this purpose

If advanced analysis results interpretation is required, Bika's result specification and validation will be enhanced to test for valid ranges not only against sample type, but also patient information such as age, gender and weight

Bika invites laboratories in the Health sector in need of a LIMS to submit partnership proposals for implementing a Bika Health 1.0 pilot
