Every birth. Every condition. Every hour that matters.
Newborn screening is the most time-critical work a public health laboratory does. Salus runs the full screening lifecycle, from dried blood spot accessioning to short-term follow-up, on a secure, Snowflake-native platform. AI assists your team with the routine work. Your scientists stay in control of every result.
The screen has to move faster than the disease.
For time-critical conditions, a delayed result is not an inconvenience. It is the difference between early treatment and lifelong harm. Newborn screening labs carry that weight at the volume of every birth in the state, against a panel that keeps growing.
The lab touches every infant in the jurisdiction. There is no sampling and no opting out. Throughput and accuracy are not optional.
The recommended panel expands over time. Each new condition means new analytes, new logic, and new follow-up pathways the lab has to absorb quickly.
A flagged result is only the start. Short-term follow-up to the clinician and family is where screening either succeeds or quietly fails.
Salus owns the hours the laboratory controls.
Some of the clock belongs to birth and transit. The rest belongs to the lab. Salus compresses every step from the moment a card arrives to the moment a clinician is notified.
Everything a screening lab runs, in one platform.
Built for the dried blood spot workflow, from the loading dock to short-term follow-up.
Dried blood spot accessioning
High-volume, batch-first intake from card to record, with barcode tracking and demographics linked at the point of receipt.
Demographics capture and validation
Catch missing and inconsistent demographics at the source, before they slow a flagged result or break a report.
Multi-method result management
Tandem mass spectrometry, molecular, and immunoassay results in one verification workflow, not three disconnected systems.
RUSP-aligned configuration
Add conditions, analytes, and interpretive rules as the recommended panel grows, without a rebuild every time.
Urgency flagging and turnaround intelligence
Surface time-critical results first, and watch turnaround in real time so a backlog never hides a presumptive positive.
Short-term follow-up coordination
Track each flagged infant from result to clinician contact to resolution, with nothing falling between the lab and the provider.
Reporting and interoperability
HL7 and FHIR with LOINC and SNOMED coding, ready for the state feed and compatible with NewSTEPs data needs.
QA and proficiency support
Workflows that fit alongside NSQAP quality control and proficiency testing, with full audit trails on every action.
AI that respects clinical judgment.
In newborn screening, the cost of a wrong autonomous decision is unacceptable. Salus keeps AI on the routine work and the scientist on every decision that leaves the lab.
- Drafts routine accessioning and operational reports for one-click verification
- Flags time-critical and presumptive-positive results for immediate attention
- Assists with ELR validation and coding before results go to the state
- Monitors turnaround time and surfaces bottlenecks before they become backlogs
- Supports compliance and proficiency documentation
No result leaves the lab on its own.
Salus never auto-releases a screening result. AI prepares, organizes, and flags. A qualified scientist reviews and verifies. The platform records who decided what, and when, for every result.
Scale for every birth in the state.
Salus runs on Snowflake for enterprise scale, governed data, secure sharing with state partners, and analytics that stay fast as volume grows. The platform grows with the panel and with the population it serves.
Native architecture for governance, secure data sharing, and surveillance-ready analytics.
