Scope This standard covers the two-way digital transmission of remote requests and results between clinical laboratory instruments and information systems. It is intended to document the common conventions required for the interchange of clinical results and patient data between clinical laboratory instruments and information systems. This standard specifies the message content for transferring information between a clinical laboratory instrument and an information system. It enables any two such systems to establish a logical link for communicating text to send result, request, or demographic information in a standardized and interpretable form. This standard does not necessarily apply to general analytical instruments in an industrial analytical setting, or to a research and development setting. This standard is intended to apply to the structure of messages exchanged between clinical laboratory instruments and information systems by means of defined communications protocols. Low-level communications protocols and data transfer requirements are beyond the scope of this standard. A separate specification is available detailing a standard for low-level data transfer communications (see NCCLS document LIS1\u2014Standard Specification for Low-Level Protocol to Transfer Messages Between Clinical Laboratory Instruments and Computer Systems). This standard specifies the conventions for structuring the content of the message and for representing the data elements contained within those structures. It is applicable to all text-oriented clinical instrumentation. It has been specifically created to provide common conventions for interfacing computers and instruments in a clinical setting. It would also be applicable to interfacing instruments in clinical practice settings, such as physicians\u2019 offices, clinics, and satellite laboratories. The intended users of this standard are developers of clinical laboratory information systems and clinical laboratory managers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[26],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
