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.
