A living layer on top of the laboratory you already run.
Continuous adaptation for public health laboratory systems.
Intelligence, then operations, then evidence.
Salus is a LIMS. It is also the system that notices when the rules or the threats moved, and hands a director something they can act on.
Living regulatory intelligence
CMS CLIA, OIG LEIE, CDC and APHL guidance, state reportable lists, and court outcomes, translated into operational implications instead of static binders.
OpenPathogen and test library
Structured entries for respiratory, arboviral, enteric, biothreat, AMR, and pathogen-agnostic methods, with LOINC, SNOMED CT, and ELR notes on every card.
OpenGuardrailed agentic workbench
Validation outlines, SOP skeletons, and jurisdictional mapping that cite sources, leave an audit trail, and require a human before anything becomes operational.
OpenIntegrity and attestation
LEIE and SAM screening guidance, documentation completeness checks, and exportable evidence packages suitable for a CLIA survey or an OIG inquiry.
OpenCommunity registry
Versioned test definitions, coded result sets, and lab-routed packs other public health laboratories can install without retyping a single LOINC.
OpenSupport the people who already hold the license.
- Watch CMS, OIG, CDC, APHL, state, and court signals and write down what changed
- Keep a versioned pathogen and test library with LOINC and SNOMED on the card
- Draft validation, SOP, and screening artifacts that a human must accept
- Install community test definitions into the correct destination lab
- Export survey-shaped evidence packages with an audit trail
The non-clinical boundary is the product.
- Issue a patient-level diagnosis or interpretive result
- Replace the laboratory director or the quality system CLIA requires
- Perform regulated testing or hold a CLIA certificate of its own
- Let an agent release a result, file a claim, or notify a jurisdiction alone
- Guarantee compliance, readiness, or a clean survey
Modernization work that belongs in the LIMS.
DMI payloads, surge packs, grant tags, and genomics on the specimen. Each of these pages says what is product and what is still a jurisdiction decision.
CDC DMI and TEFCA-shaped payloads
ELR, eCR, AIMS routing, and USCDI+ vocabulary as product. We implement the laboratory messages. We do not claim to be your QHIN, and we do not advertise a 0% reject rate.
One-click outbreak packs
When CDC or WHO drops a protocol, pull the coded pack from the community registry. Destination lab is already on the bundle. Conrad proposes the surge accession. A human still confirms.
Grant-tagged operations
Conrad tags volume, TAT, and interoperability work to ELC, PHEP, and DMI categories so a director can export a justification. He never files a CDC report alone.
NGS next to the accession
Sequence, AMR markers, wastewater, and IHR-relevant notes stay on the specimen. Orchestration runs in the jurisdiction tenant under CLIA validation. Not a laptop pipeline in email.
Capacity support, not a competing laboratory.
Global Hands, Inc., a 501(c)(3), licenses Salus to qualified public health laboratories and uses the same platform to deliver technical assistance. The nonprofit does not operate as a clinical laboratory.
