Summary

Supports the transmission of clinical genetic test results using a 2.5.1 lab message (from the lab to the medical record)

Description

Structured clinical genetic test results are key for clinical decision support, augmentation of patient data in clinical data warehouses, research studies, clinical trials, etc… this uses models for stablished standards for transmission of laboratory test results for transmission of genetic test results.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Medical Record, Testing Laboratories, and Clinical Research

Benefits

• Main benefit is to users already using v2, to have an implementation guide for a known specification in lab messaging, for genetic variation testing results, not just any area on genomics - specific to genetic variation.
