  ELINCS EHR Lab Standard Announced
Interesting Developments Posted by Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS on Monday May 16, 2005 @ 02:47 PM
from the Interesting-developments dept.
ELINCS is a project to standardize lab reporting for the purpose of inclusion into an EHR. According to the project website: '...The EHR-Lab Interoperability and Connectivity Standards (ELINCS) project will develop a national standard for the delivery of real-time laboratory results from a lab’s information system to an electronic health record. Typically this process can be a fractured one in which lab results are sent to the ordering doctor’s office via fax or mail. The results must be filed in the patient’s paper chart or manually entered into the physician’s EHR...' Public comments are being accepted May 13 through May 26 with more details at the above link. There's also a press release. Thanks to Nancy Anthracite for these links. Digg this article

    Wow, a FOSS inplementation of the above along with FreeB medical billing and you'd have 2/3'rds of the pieces needed for a dandy system. Or maybe 2/10ths, anyway... -- IV

      GNUmed already imports German lab data. Some of us are working on importing HL7 lab data as used in some labs in Canada and Australia.
