Summary

Supports the transmission of clinical genetic test results using a 2.5.1 lab message (from the lab to the medical record). Structured clinical genetic test results are key for clinical decision support, augmentation of patient data in clinical data warehouses, research studies, clinical trials, etc. For transmission of genetic test results, the HL7 Version 2 Implementation Guide uses models for already established standards for transmission of laboratory test results.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

• Medical Record,
• Clinical Laboratories,
• Clinical Research

Benefits

The main benefit is for current users of V2, that need an implementation guide based on established lab messaging specifications, for dissemination of genetic variation testing results.
