Purpose

 * Review the relevant implementation guides against the Requirements articulated in the Lab Results Use Case; perform an analysis to determine common data elements and metadata and identify unique Requirements. The working group will propose guidance for defined exchange scenarios using one or more of the HL7 Lab Results Implementation Guides.
 * Additionally, this initiative will identify candidate data elements and metadata to be harmonized between the Implementation Guides, and which fields must remain (or become) specialized to unambiguously support each exchange scenario.
 * The harmonization task will be to ensure normalized field definitions, use, vocabulary bindings, and content requirements across the relevant message specifications and, where relevant, maintain compatibility across multiple standards. This is required to ensure full interoperability as multiple interfaces may be supported on a single EMR/EHR system.

Scope
The scope of this effort will cover the exchange of laboratory results to ambulatory EHRs, EMRs and related systems in primary care settings, as well as to any other stakeholders as agreed upon by initiative members.

Objectives

 * ~ Short-Term || # Harmonized message data elements for HL7 V2.5.1 Implementation Guides, including "Interoperable Laboratory Result Reporting To EHR (US Realm) R1" and "Ambulatory Care Lab Result (ELINCS) R1," as per the Use Case requirements
 * 1) Alignment and guidance on use of variants to support identified Use Case scenarios ||
 * ~ Long-Term || # Propose guidance for vocabularies and value sets to ensure alignment between Laboratory Messages and exchange instances used in support of the Transitions of Care and other primary content definitions
 * 1) Alignment with Meaningful Use quality reporting and decision support requirements ||
