4.0 Value Statement
Laboratory results interfaces automate the electronic communication of test results between disparate systems, such as laboratories and ambulatory EHRs. Currently, individual laboratory results interfaces deliver data in a consistent formatted manner; however, there is no consistent implementation of such interfaces across the ambulatory setting. A laboratory results interface implementation which standardizes the communication (message, data elements and their use, and vocabulary) of test results from a laboratory to an EHR can potentially: In addition, a specification defined such that it (or parts thereof) is reusable across different lab reporting use cases (e.g., ambulatory, acute, public health) can help lower the cost not just of ambulatory results interfaces, but for other types of lab interfaces as well.
 * Reduce implementation-related costs;
 * Reduce on-going support and maintenance-related costs; and
 * Improve care delivery and clinical outcomes.
