IHE NetherlandsLab Working GroupUpdate Alexander Henket May 15, 2009 - Kyoto
Background • IHE-Lab start December 2007 • “Joint” initiative between IHE Netherlands and NICTIZ • Goal • Define use-cases for national exchange of lab-information • Define interoperability specification taking Dutch Healthcare Infrastructure into account
Methodology • Phase I (done) • “User driven” • Defining “use-cases” • Phase 2 (in progress) • “Defining technical details” • Data format and transport protocol • Phase 3 • Proof-of-concept
Fase 2 (In Progress) • Technical deep-dive on use-cases • Define and review (technical) interactions between actors including the Dutch Healthcare infrastructure (AORTA) • Investigate use of HL7 v3 CDA • Define a CDA template for a lab-order.

Technical Deep-dive Analogy with Document based Referral Request Profile
Interaction Dutch AORTA AORTA
Use of HL7v3 CDA • Main debate • Should the “lab referral” be a document or a message? • Focus on key set of select criteria (persistence, ownership, signature, readability, etc.) • Conclusion • Order should be an electronic document • Main criteria: persistence, readability • Lab results should also be an electronic document to stay consistent (less clear for Clin. Chemistry)
Defining CDA Template • Available standards • NTA 7508 (Dutch NEN standard defining an edifact lab order and result set) • IHE-Lab, vol 3 • HL7 v3 Lab Model • To be continued…..
Use Cases • standard community order • order discontinued by laboratory • order canceled by specimen collection center • order modified by order placer
Actors • Order Tracer will also send out notifications to the Order Placer upon discontinuation or cancellation: is that extending the actor?
Transactions • Specimen reports will have an append relationship to the order. • How do we handle Result/Order relationship when we cannot link at document level? inFulFillmentOf will link to the order, but the order it references cannot be the CDA document that contained the order. Instead it will reference into the CDA Body of another document. Preadopt CDA Release 3
Transactions cont’d: status • Use RCMR messages only, or is Shared Messages/ActStatus topic viable? Document Status changes in RCMR go to Document Recipient which does not fit requirements • Should there be more statuses than: ordered, accepted, in progress, completed, e.g. specimen received? • Can another party than the author /custodian of a document change the status of a document?
