openelisglobal/openelisglobal-core — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a working first version of an OpenELIS style laboratory information system for a small clinical or reference lab in a low resource setting. The goal is to help lab staff track the everyday lab workflow in one place, from receiving patient samples, recording the tests that need to be run, entering results, reviewing them, and making the information available to the people who need it.

Keep it practical and reliable rather than fancy. It should feel like an internal hospital lab tool, with clear screens, simple navigation, basic user access, and data stored safely so it can be deployed in places with limited infrastructure.

Use this repository as the guide for the core Java application and database setup. If the older OpenELIS 1.x details are unclear, look up current docs online if you need to, but keep the scope close to what this project is meant to do.
