Project Description
Bika LIMS 2 Inkosi forms the basis of Bika Health 1, our first LIMS specialised for health laboratories
Newsflash : DTI sponsors Bika Health LIMS development
Bika LIMS 2's analysis profiling and worksheet templating are 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
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. A Patient Demographics module has been successfully demonstrated
Most recent Bika Health design is discussed at the Bika Health group. Please feel free to participate
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
Other areas for development will be customisation towards HL7 encryption, LOINC dictionary and instrument interfaces
The project awaits further sponsorship for development to continue
Bika invites laboratories in the Health sector in need of a LIMS to submit partnership proposals for implementing a Bika Health 1.0 pilot
