Laboratory Technical Committee

The Laboratory Technical Committee develops and maintains the Technical Framework for the IHE Laboratory Domain.

Scope and Current Work

The planning committee successfully voted to bring forward one new supplement this year, an extension to Laboratory Device Automation in joint work with IICC.

The following table is designed for use by LAB technical committee editors, committee members, sponsors and connectathon staff for understanding the details for release of updated documents from the LAB Technical committee. It describes:

• Document Title - the title of the document, including short acronym if appropriate.
• Type - the type of document: TI = Trial Implementation Supplement, FT = Final Text, TF = Technical Framework, WP = White Paper
