WWLSS - Worldwide Lab Software Solutions
Since 1995, Worldwide Lab Improvement (WWLAB) staff have traveled to many countries and observed the inefficiencies of current communication systems. Most mission hospitals use manual paper systems. We have talked to physicians who have written their own software as well as some attempting to install U.S. out-of-the-box systems. Those written by individuals on the field work for them but are dependent on that individual for support. If that person leaves the field, the system becomes difficult to maintain, and it cannot be reproduced and installed elsewhere. The commercially available systems are too sophisticated and cumbersome requiring things like Social Security number, date of birth and insurance provider.
The goal of WWLSS is to provide a simple system that can be installed in any developing country to solve these problems.
It will function in a small clinic as well as a large hospital.
WWLAB assists in training key trainers and staff. When a new version is developed, all locations will receive the upgrade free. With all locations on the same version the maintainability and supportability is enhanced.
