IHE Laboratory

IHE Laboratory addresses information sharing and workflow related to in vitro diagnostic testing in clinical laboratories as well as on the point of care.

IHE Laboratory is sponsored by the Groupement pour la Modernisation du Système d'Information Hospitalier (GMSIH), the Société d'Informatique de Laboratoire (SFIL), IHE-J, and JAHIS.

IHE Laboratory Profiles

• [LTW] - Laboratory Testing Workflow integrates ordering and performance of in-vitro diagnostic tests by a clinical laboratory inside a healthcare institution.
• [XD-LAB] - Sharing Laboratory Reports describes the content (human and machine readable) of an electronic clinical laboratory report.
• [LDA] - Laboratory Device Automation integrates an Automation Manager and robotic laboratory equipment (pre-analytical devices, analyzers, post-analytical devices) in a clinical lab.
• [LBL] - Laboratory Barcode Labeling integrates robotic specimen container labeling systems with sources of order-related labelling information.
• [LPOCT] - Laboratory Point Of Care Testing integrates performing and collecting the results of in-vitro testing at the point of care or patient’s bedside.
• [LCSD] - Laboratory Code Sets Distribution distributes managed sets of clinical laboratory codes (battery, test and observation codes).

IHE Laboratory Committees

The Laboratory Technical Committee develops and maintains the Laboratory Technical Framework for the IHE Laboratory Domain. The Laboratory Planning Committee currently operates as a subcommittee of the whole of the Laboratory Technical Committee. Their activities are tracked on the Laboratory Domain page of the IHE Wiki: http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Laboratory.

Stakeholders interested in the work of the Laboratory committees can apply for membership to their email discussion list at http://groups.google.com/group/ihe-laboratory-committee/.
