Laboratory

IHE Laboratory addresses information sharing and workflow related to in vitro diagnostic testing in clinical laboratories as well as on the point of care.

IHE Laboratory is sponsored by the Groupement pour la Modernisation du Système d'Information Hospitalier (GMSIH), the Société d'Informatique de Laboratoire (SFIL), IHE-J, and JAHIS and manages the Laboratory Profiles and the Laboratory Technical Framework.

There are two committees:

• the Laboratory Planning Committee and the Laboratory Technical Committee

Current Activity

The Laboratory Committee is preparing the 2.1 Final Text version of the LAB Technical Framework, providing precise description of microbiology messaging in LTW profile, in line (for the result part) with the "Lab result to ambulatory EHR" implementation guide produced by HL7 LAB SIG, and refining the content of a microbio order placing message, with detailed specimen collection data. On the other hand, this Final Text version will integrate the Public Health Lab Report initially drafted in PCC domain, and in doing so, shall describe XD-LAB CDA lab report with more content modules, following the layout refined by the PCC technical committee.
This Final Text revision shall also process and integrate as much as possible new accepted CPs coming from the 2008 connectathons in NA, Europe and Japan.
The committee is also drafting three new supplements, as mentioned in the table above.
Contact the Technical Committee if you would like to participate, or watch for Public Comment supplement drafts in mid-Year 2008.
