Review of Purpose and Scope for the working group |
Purpose The work group will recommend use of vocabulary and associated standards in support of interoperability of laboratory results. Interoperability of laboratory results is defined as machine level recognition of which results are comparable and trendable. Lab orders and metadata associated with the order (e.g. ask at order entry questions) would be addressed insofar as coding an IVD (LIVD) by manufacturers would be helpful in recognizing comparability of lab results. Scope Currently In-Scope:
Currently Out-of-Scope:
