On the kick off call today (with a small group of Campbell, Dash, Gansel, Snyder, Pitkus), we proposed limiting scope of this workgroup to recommending use of ontology standards in support of interoperability of laboratory results. Lab Orders would be addressed insofar as coding an IVD (LIVD) by manufacturers would be helpful in recognizing comparability of lab results.
We’d like to start small with a small set of use cases (up for debate is more common quantitative tests vs more complex qualitative tests).
We do feel LOINC (primary), SNOMED CT (secondary), and UCUM (units of measure) would be the primary standards targeting coding for laboratory results.
Look forward to the next call (which will be part 2 of the kick off and we’ll figure out scope of this WG)!
