Minutes

• Set priorities of work items
• Lab prescription: transfer of codes in the labo ordering

• 2 fields are foreseen in the FHIR profile: code and detail code (multiple ones are possible)
• detail code : similar to result

• What about the specimen ?

• you cannot link code to specimen
• there is a workaround: requisition code (which is an identifier)
• if you have several specimens, you need several labo orders (one order per specimen)
• for micro biology, you give the specimen (aeroob & anaeroob)
• with requisition id you can link several labo orders

• a RETAM code can only appear once in an order, otherwise labo cannot deal with

• if this RETAM code is not sufficient, the specimen info has to added
• if 2 RETAM codes are needed, 2 labo orders will be needed
• sending system has to determine this

• there is a link with the invoicing

• Priority codes as part of the service request (routine, urgent, asap, stat= emergency)

• 4 codes are available in FHIR: routine, urgent, asap, stat (= emergency)
• are these codes sufficient when mentioning the definitions or are more , see here
• we can define our own list or an existing other HL7 list
• preference goes to list with 4 options

• callback result/requested result notification: is this useful ?

• could a boolean be sufficient ? yes/no ?
• options for callback: phone call, text message, notification by eHealthbox
• how do other countries handle this?
• check with other county and setup Q&A session
