Lab WG

Lab SIG Welcome

• Welcome to the Lab SIG HL7 Wiki Page.
• This SIG supports the HL7 mission to create and promote its standards by helping to assure that the HL7 V3 messages and models concerning laboratory related information - ordering, specimen collection, specimen tracking, chain of custody, and results reporting - address all of the requirements of the many stake holders and variations in different countries. HL7 V2.x related activities will remain with Orders & Observations TC.
• The Laboratory SIG is sponsored by the Orders & Observations Technical Committee and will work closely with the Health Care Devices SIG (formerly LAPOCT) to manage scope and deliverables for the respective groups. Health Care Devices SIG would continue to primarily focus on issues involving lab device automation (including point of care devices). Any adjudication of issues between the two SIGs will remain the responsibility of the Orders & Observations TC.
