HL7 EHR-S Functional Requirements: S&I Framework Laboratory Results Messages, Release 1 - US Realm

DESCRIPTION

This document has been developed through the HHS/ONC Standards and Interoperability (S&I) Framework EHR-S Functional Requirements IG-Labs Work Group. This work is part of a larger effort, the goal of which is to create a suite of requirements documents for Electronic Health Record System (EHR-S) technology for laboratory orders and results harmonized for the US Realm.

The focus here is to create an EHR-S Functional Requirements Implementation Guide for laboratory results reporting, which is compatible with the S&I Laboratory Results Interface (LRI) Implementation Guide. Additional US regulatory requirements, e.g., Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), and clinical best practices beyond the LRI IG have been considered in the development of this guide
