Issue

Many labs issue addendum reports (sort of a reflex, but not quite) with additional information (e.g. AP / Cytology uses this frequently). This is not a corrected report since no information has been changed – only expanded. Do we need another Value in table 4.7.4 (HL& Table 0123)?

Some systems add an OBX to an existing OBR, it may be an additional OBR/OBX.

Report as another Final, but some may ignore that if the status is Final.

Recommendation

Propose V2.9 extension of OBR statuses with "Addendum" to address additional OBX in OBR. If additional OBR/OBX, no problem. Add guidance to LRI IG to indicate that until such status is in place, to use corrected.

Alternatively, suggest that addenda are managed as additional OBR/OBX.
