Purpose of the LRI Pilot process
LRI Pilot projects will implement the LRI Implementation Guide in order to vet LRI Specifications in a real-world setting. These Lab Information System (LIS) <==> Electronic Health Record (EHR) pilots evaluate not only the technology and standards, but also provide a test bed to evaluate the interaction of technology, implementation support, and operational infrastructure required to meet LRI Use case objectives at the stakeholder or organization levels.

Proposing a Pilot Project
> 1. Complete an entry in the "Proposed Pilot Projects" table, below. > 2. The LRI Pilots WG Support Team will then create a Pilot Brief page for your organization. > 2. Participate in proposed pilot project discussion calls to explain proposal and answer community questions. > 3. Respond to additional questions which may be posted on discussion tabs. > 4. Community accepts or rejects proposed pilot based on criteria defined below.
 * After the organization template is added, an entry will be shown in the "Proposed Pilots Up for Consensus" table, below.
 * Please edit your organization Wiki page by selecting the appropriate link in the "Link to Pilot Project Brief Wiki Page" column, the last column of the table, to provide detailed information.
 * Community will have 1 week to review proposed project.
 * At the end of this period the project will be discussed in the workgroup meeting.
 * After an additional week of review projects community votes on the project in the workgroup session (Community should define length of vetting process, i.e., weeks between proposal and vote).

Criteria for acceptance as a LRI Pilot Project
> 1. Proposing organization should be registered as a committed member. > 2. Project should be distinct from other proposed pilots in terms of stakeholders, provider types, or goals. > 3. Project should include a set of measurable objectives that provides feedback on the LRI Use Case, LRI Implementation Guide, or the LRI Strategy and Consensus Statement. > 4. Does the proposing organization commit adequate resources (people, infrastructure) to successfully complete the proposed scope?

Guidelines for registering an accepted Pilot Project
> 1. Maintain your organization's Pilot Project Brief Wiki page. > 2. Name one or more individual(s) as the ‘project leader’ (who will represent the pilot on all workgroup calls). > 3. Use LRI Pilots Project wiki and communication tools to document status and operations of project. > 4. Participate in LRI Pilots Workgroup calls and provide regular status updates. > 5. Conform to LRI Pilots Project time line. >
