  1. IHE Clinical Laboratory Update HIMSS 2006 – Interoperability Showcase François Macary, AGFA HCESIHE Lab Committee co-chair

  2. Agenda • Lab domain: Scope and Work • Reminder of Lab Scheduled Workflow • Lab Device Automation • Lab Information Reconciliation • Lab Point Of Care Testing • Lab Code Set Distribution

  3. Laboratory Technical Framework General scope: • Ordering, placing, scheduling and performing clinical laboratory tests within acute care settings. • Bound to in vitro testing • Microbiology included. • Pathology and blood banks excluded. • The first profile LSWF addresses acute care settings

  4. The major problems to solve • Reduce over-ordering and over “blood-drawing” • By consolidating the lab results in a common repository shared by all wards in charge with the patient • By sharing the opened orders • Bring the accurate lab results to the clinician, in time for clinical decision • Without flooding the ward with paper reports • Without flooding the lab with phone calls

  5. Contributing countries France Japan Germany Italy The Netherlands UK US (1 from CLSI) The IHE Laboratory Committee Cochairs: Yoshimitsu Takagi - Hitachi Francois Macary - Agfa Healthcare IT Development started in 2003 1st profile in November 2003 10 systems validated in 2004 12 systems validated in 2005 4 new profiles for connectathon 2006

  6. Laboratory Scheduled WorkFlow • Externally placed order with identified specimens • Specimens identified on the container with a barcode label • Externally placed order with specimens unidentified or to be collected by the laboratory • The specimens unidentified in the message placing the order • Filler order with specimens identified by the laboratory • Order created in lab. Order number allocated afterwards Three major use cases:

  7. IHE Laboratory: LSWF Patient Administration Rad-1, Rad-12 Rad1, Rad-12 Patient demographics & visit ADT Ward or EHR Clinical Laboratory Lab-1: Placer order Order Placer Order Filler Lab-2: Filler order Lab-4: Work order Lab-5: Results Lab-3: Results Order Result Tracker Automation Manager

  8. Work Order Steps Pre/post processor Analyzer LDA Laboratory Device Automation (LDA) Demographics Demographics ADT Placer order Order Placer Order Filler Filler order Work order Results Results Order Result Tracker Automation Manager LSWF

  9. Scope of LDA • Workflow between an Automation Manager and its set of automated devices. • Each Work Order is split into a sequence of steps, each of which uses a specimen on a device. • Scope limited to devices operated by the lab staff.

  10. No candidate for year 2006? LIS vendors Small companies with specialized software …Sometimes bought by devices manufacturers No standard available Automation Manager One standard available: ASTM E1394 + one future ISO standard IHE proposed one common standard: HL7 2.5 – chap 13 Pre/post analytic devices Analyzers Manufacturers

  11. Laboratory Information Reconciliation (LIR) • Reconcile clinical lab observations produced on specimens collected from misidentified or unidentified patient. (Same thing as PIR in Radio land) • Reconcile clinical lab observations produced on specimens before the orders are created: Results for unknown orders. (Different from PIR) • LIR profile depends upon LSWF and LDA profiles • No added transactions

  12. LIR: one example of process flow

  13. Laboratory Point Of Care Testing Scope: • In vitro tests performed on point of care or patient bedside • specimen collected, tested at once and eliminated • No pre or post-processing • Results used immediately by the care provider • Supervision by a clinical laboratory of the hospital • Training provided to the ward staff • Provision of reagent • Supervision of quality control • Clinical validation a posteriori

  14. Benefits of LPOCT • Results obtained at once  increases the efficiency of clinical decisions • Minimizes the blood quantity drawn from the patient, because of the immediate use of the specimen. E.g. Two drops are enough to test blood gas, electrolyte and hematocrit of a new-born baby. • Preserving a high level of quality of the POCT process through its supervision by a clinical laboratory.

  15. Examples of LPOCT • Portable blood gaz and chemistry analyzer used by the nurse in a neonatology ward • Blood gas analyzer permanently installed in the surgery theater • Glucometer used by the patient in home care • Workstation on which the nurse manually enters the results of pregnancy stick tests.

  16. The Actors of LPOCT Point Of Care Result Generator (POCRG) Produces the results from a specimen by testing on a specimen, or calculation or manual entry Point Of Care Data Manager (POCDM) Administers a set of POCRG, controls their process. Collects the patient and QC results. Forwards the patient results to the Order Filler Order Filler Recipient of POCT results. Stores the results within orders. Performs a posteriori clinical validation Point of care results Point of care patient results

  17. LPOCT: Actors and Transactions Ward Clinical laboratory Lab-30: Initiate testing on a specimen Point Of Care Result Generator Point Of Care Data Manager Lab-31: Performed observation set (patient or QC results) Lab-32: Accepted observation set (patient results) Order Filler POCDM and Order Filler are assumed to be provided with up-to-date patient demographic data (for instance by PAM or PDQ)

  18. Five major use cases • Observations to match with an existing order, real-time patient identity checking • Unordered observations, real-time patient identity checking • Unordered observations on a POCRG with an intermittent link (no patient identity check) • Manual entry of unordered observations • QC results

  19. Selected standard POCT 1-A, published by CLSI (ex NCCLS) Based on HL7 early v3 in XML HL7 v2.5 POCRG POCDM Order Filler

  20. Laboratory Code Set Distribution • The goal of this profile is to simplify the configuration of the systems involved in the Laboratory Scheduled Workflow. • The Laboratory Code Set Distribution Profile offers the means to share the same set of test/observation codes between different actors. • Other information can be also exchanged like presentation of results, laboratory codes (in which lab a test is performed), units …

  21. LCSD: Use Case 1 Laboratory Code Set Master Laboratory Code Set Consumer Creates observation, test, battery codes LAB-51: Laboratory Code Set Management (REP) Replaces Observation/Test/Battery Code Sets All Observation, Test and Battery code sets of the Consumer are replaced by the code sets sent by the Master. This Use Case is used both for initialization as well as periodic (weekly, monthly) update.

  22. LCSD - Standard used • HL7 V2.5: Master Files • Messages rich enough to transport other information than just observation/test/battery codes : • presentation of the results • Units of measure • Laboratories fulfilling this test

  23. Next Steps for IHE Lab in 2006CDA rel 2 Lab Report • Beyond need to request/receive results, also need to share/distribute complete validated lab reports with structured tests results as one object. • Laboratory results communicated via messaging are point-to-point (request/result) and not human readable • Laboratory results can only be shared when “approved” for release by an authorized source: a document oriented laboratory report is needed. • Human readable and structured coded lab reports are necessary in a wide variety of Patient Care Coordination use cases

  24. How can I participate? As a Provider or Vendor Contributor • Offer Clinical Use Case Input to Drive IHE Profile Development • Become a member of relevant domain’s Planning or Technical Committees • Become a member of relevant Regional/National Committees • Help to shape IHE’s future direction As a Vendor Participant • Respond to Public Comments of Domain Supplements • Attend the June Educational Workshop • Participate in Connect-a-thons and Demonstrations As a Provider/Consultant Participant • Respond to Public Comments of Domain Supplements • Attend the June Educational Workshop • Attend Demonstrations and include IHE Integration Profiles in your RFPs and Integration Projects.
