ELINCS: the Emerging Lab Standard and Implications for your Lab Applications and EHR

Walter Sujansky, Sujansky & Associates, LLC, San Carlos, CA oversees the development of this new standard.  He presents The EHR-Lab Interoperability and Connectivity Standards (ELINCS) project, which is developing the national standard for the delivery of real-time laboratory results from a lab’s information system to an electronic health record, including ambulatory systems.  Benefits include eliminating lab results being sent to the ordering doctor’s office via fax or mail and filing them in the patient’s paper chart or manually entered into the physician’s EHR.  Please invite your laboratory colleagues to join you for this discussion.
