Open the library cardCommunity
The best public health lab content, shared.
Salus is more than a LIMS. It is a package registry for public health laboratory content. Labs publish shareable, versioned artifacts, the rest of the community adopts them, and producers are rewarded for what others put to use.
Salus, Community Registry
Share what you build.
Anything that takes a lab real work to get right is worth not rebuilding. Salus makes the work portable.
Test definitions
A full test with its acceptable result set, reference ranges, and LOINC/SNOMED coding, ready to run.
Result sets
Coded, validated result sets and interpretive rules that other labs can adopt as-is or adapt.
Accessioning workflows
Intake, routing, and processing workflows proven in one lab, packaged for another.
Report templates
Final, corrected, and case-report templates, so a lab does not redesign what already works.
How it works.
Publish, adopt, vet, and earn. A virtuous cycle that gets stronger as more labs join.
1
Publish
A lab packages a test definition, workflow, or template as a versioned bundle and publishes it to the registry, with attribution.
2
Adopt
Any lab can browse, install, and import a bundle into its own environment, then adapt it to local needs.
3
Vet
Because this is clinical content, an approval gate lets a lab review and sign off on a bundle before it is used in production.
4
Credit
When another lab incorporates a producer's content into its lab, the producer earns credits.
Producer credits
We pay it forward to the labs that give back.
Good content should be rewarded. When a lab adopts a test definition, workflow, or report template you published, and puts it to use, you earn credits. The more your work is incorporated across the community, the more you earn.
Credits translate directly into things a public health lab values, so contributing to the commons lowers your own cost of running on Salus.
Credits redeem for
- Free professional-services hours
- Hosting and cloud-resource allowances
- Platform usage credit
Safe to adopt, by design.
- Every bundle is versioned, so a lab knows exactly what it is adopting and can pin or upgrade deliberately.
- An approval gate lets a lab review and sign off on shared clinical content before it is used in production.
- Producers keep attribution, so the labs that build the best content are recognized for it.
- Free and open: the content commons belongs to the public health community, under community governance.
Community board
Post the mapping. Keep the coded value first.
A shared board for local LOINC mappings, state reportable rules, validation notes, and new codes. Every starter post below is already a registry bundle with a destination lab.
