摘 要：Incorporating clinical laboratory test results into certified electronic health record (EHR) technology as structured data is a core requirement for eligible hospitals and professionals under Stage 2 of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs. Currently, there is limited information concerning the readiness of clinical laboratories to deliver structured test results. To address this gap in knowledge, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) sponsored a national survey of independent and hospital laboratories. This brief describes the capability and extent to which these laboratories send test results as structured data to ordering practitioners EHR systems.
