Use Case and Requirements

o

Structured data should go to lowest component, not compose in text strings, e.g., 25 mg
should not be a single text entry but should be in two fields: test value, test unit of
measure.
o PCAST describes higher level of decomposition, e.g., a complete lab results report,
whereas we are looking at the attributes within the result
o A complete lab result must have context, not just result value, including identifiers, times,
reference values
Another issue of decomposition is ensuring that we specify not only the result as structured data
but the lab test result name with data type and code/value set, e.g., lab test name from LOINC
code set
o Coordination between ONC and CDC needs
Other:
 An additional structured data Sub-Workgroup may be scheduled for Wednesday March 16.
 The definition of structured data needs to be complete and presented to the LRI workgroup on
