The Laboratory Scheduled Workflow Integration Profile establishes the continuity and integrity of clinical laboratory testing and observation data throughout the healthcare enterprise. It involves a set of transactions, to maintain the consistency of ordering and patient information, to control the conformity of specimens, and to deliver the results at various steps of validation. Some of these transactions are already defined in the IHE Radiology Technical Framework. This profile also enables automation of preanalytical, analytical and post-analytical processes within the laboratory.
