BACKGROUND

The Laboratory Orders Interface (LOI) Initiative is focused on the creation of an Implementation Guide (IG) for the ambulatory setting that builds on the architecture and design of the California HealthCare Foundation’s (CHCF) EHR-Lab Interoperability and Connectivity Specification (ELINCS) Laboratory Orders and the Health Level Seven (HL7) Version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide: S&I Framework Lab Results Interface.


Further, the Initiative seeks to design an IG that can serve as a foundation for eventual use in acute care and public health and incorporate vocabulary consistent with the above mentioned guides as well as support for the HL7 Electronic Directory of Service (eDOS) IG. Additionally, tools will be developed to aid evaluation and adoption of messages compliant with the LOI IG generated by Electronic Health Records (EHR) Systems and Laboratory Information Systems (LIS).
