Comments are due by September 30, 2024

Current discussion so far:

• In V5

  • Still missing these CLIA elements:

    • Laboratory Test Performed Date (this element’s definition needs to be fixed before it can be used)

    • Specimen collection date/time (may consider using Performance Time in the Procedure Class, since this is synonmous, when specimen collection is modeled as a procedure, which may not always be the case)

  • Laboratory Orders in Orders Class

    • May wish to cross reference Laboratory Class to alert folks that Laboatory Orders are in Orders Class. May also wish to note in Orders Class that other laboratory data elements are under Laboratory Class and Procedure for Specimens collected for laboratory orders.

• Other elements still missing

  • Test Kit Unique Device Identifier

  • Laboratory results: date and timestamps (this is too borad to be helpful - shoudl identify the trigger when dates should be recorded)

  • Accession number

  • Laboratory Test/Panel Code

  • Test Result Harmonization Status

  • Specimen Collection Method

    • This should not be using Procedure as a Specimen Collection Method

  • Instrument Unique Identifier

• What AP elements are missing?

• What Clinical Genomics elements are missing?
