  2. Agenda • Tool status and plans • LRI DSTU Version—demonstration of use • LIS validation is focus today • LRI DSTU Errata • Schedule -- Tuesdays, 1:00 PM EST • Next meeting: May 22nd (focus is EHR validation) • Additional meetings to be added if necessary • HL7V2_LRI_Testing Google Group will be used for notification

  3. Tool Status and Plans • Validation Tool for LRI (Release 1 for trial use) LRI IG DSTU Version –lri-dstu • http://lri.sipilotdevelopment.org/lri-dstu/ Notes: • Addresses LRI IG DSTU version submitted for ballot April 9th, 2012 (Plus Errata) • All technical requirements for LIS validation incorporated • More testing needed and some odds and ends need addressed • Next target is May 22nd—EHR functionality and Test Plan updated • Start to move into the phase of adding test cases • However, the framework is in place • Changes to the tool will still be made; notice of such changes to be announced on the LRI Testing Google Group

  4.

  8. Tool Demonstration • Big Picture • Validation Options • Profile Viewer • Vocabulary Browser • Documentation • LIS Context-free Message Validation • Supported Profiles • LIS Context-based Validation • Test Plan/Test Cases Overview • Data Sheet • Expected Validation Results

  9. LIS Context-Free Testing Test any LRI message created by the LIS Select “Message Validation” Tab Select profile version (e.g., Enter test messages into validation tool Validation results appear LIS (or Proxy) • Process: • An LRI message is created by the vendor’s LIS • The message is sent, pasted, or loaded in the test tool • A validation is performed HL7 V2 Lab Results Message • Load • Cut/paste • Send • Context Free Testing: • Context free testing will validate a LRI message created by the LIS • The context (e.g., the type and results of the lab test) is unknown to the validation tool • Therefore not all conformance requirements of the LRI implementation guide can be assessed • However, the validation provides a simple and convenient method for testing message structure and most vocabulary LIS Test Tool Validation Report

  10. LIS Context-based Testing • Context-based Testing: • Context-based testing will validate a LRI message created by the LIS • The context (e.g., the type and results of the lab test) is known to the validation tool • Therefore all conformance requirements of the LRI implementation guide can be assessed • Supports various scenarios (FC, rejected specimen) • A lab test is ordered for a patient • The specimen is collected, and is received and processed in the lab • The lab result is produced and stored in the LIS database • The lab result message is created • The lab result is transmitted to an ambulatory EHR • The lab result is viewed in the ambulatory EHR Use Case Test Case EHR transmits Hemoglobin blood test order to the LIS for John Doe along with pertinent demographic and order request data Manual entry of test data Lab Results Data Sheet John Doe DOB: 05/23/1959 Gender: M Result: 13.7 g/dL Range 13.2 – 16.2 Status: Final and more… Test Data Sheet LIS HL7 V2 Lab Results Message • Load • Cut/paste • Send • Process: • A technician enters lab results data into LIS based off the data sheet provided • The message is sent, pasted, or loaded in the test tool • A validation is performed LIS Test Tool select test case Validation Report

  11. LRI EHR Testing – Test Harness Use Case • Inspection Testing can be performed by: • On-site inspection • Over a webex like technology • Screen-scraper or screen-capture (include clock) • Printed Reports LRI EHR Test Harness Test Case Inspection Testing Techniques EHR display screens Database access Configuration files Test Data Juror Document LRI Test Message Lab Message EHR Communication ACK ACK Automated Testing Acknowledgement Message Limited Utility Validation Report Validation

  12. LRI Validation Suite WG Charter Overview NIST LRI Test Tool Ambulatory EHR ONC S&I Framework Test Data LRI ORU R01 S & I Framework EHR Pilots LIS LRI Validation Tool EHR LRI Test Harness LRI ACK R01 Vendor EHR Products • NIST LRI Test Tool • Suite scope limited to the requirements specified in the LRI IG • Develop test data • provided & verified by the S&I Framework community • LIS LRI Validation Tool • Used to validate vendor LIS systems & Test Harness • Develop a test plan • Capture and validate LIS LRI messages • EHR LRI Test Harness • Used to validate EHR systems • Develop a test plan • Simulation of an LIS system • Manage, Send, Receive LRI Messages • Inherently provides CLIA Testing • Targets • S & I Framework EHR Pilots • Vendor EHR Products • MU Certification • Ambulatory EHR Systems • EHR Pilots • Draft standard trial use (implementation) • Verifies LRI IG can be implemented—provide feedback • Use LRI test harness to perform conformance testing • Function of the S&I Framework LRI Pilots WG • Vendor Product EHRs • Can use LRI test harness to perform conformance testing • LRI Test Harness expected to be used for MU certification Part of validation suite deliverables Anticipated users of validation suite products

  13. A lab test is ordered for a patient • The specimen is collected, and is received and processed in the lab • The lab result is produced and stored in the LIS database • The lab result is transmitted to an ambulatory EHR • The lab result is viewed in the ambulatory EHR • For Discussion: • Does the LAB expect a local code for the order in a electronic order request? • Use Cases to consider: agreement/no agreement between LIS and EHR for local codes Use Case Test Case Manual entry of test data EHR transmits Hemoglobin blood test order to the LIS for John Doe along with pertinent demographic and order request data It is assumed Lab has capabilities for manual entry Local code No code—text LOINC code DB Lab Results Data Sheet John Doe DOB: 05/23/1959 Gender: M Result: 13.7 g/dL Range 13.2 – 16.2 Status: Final • Test tool inspects OBX.3 for a specific LOINC code • Inspect for 718-7 only or inspect for one of 718-7, 20509-6, 30313-1, 30352-9, 30351-1, and 30350-3? Test Data Sheet LIS Data Entry Message No LOINC given for results HL7 V2 Lab Results Message • Load • Cut/paste • Send • For Discussion: • No suggested method given (Should we?) • With no method given we should expect one from a set of valid LOINC codes for this order (Lab dependent?) • If a specific method is given (is this typical/possible?) then should we look for a specific LOINC code in the sent message? LIS Test Tool select test case Validation Report

  14. For Discussion: • What are the requirements on the EHR with regards to LOINC—given the LRI IG, CLIA, and meaningful use? • What are the EHR display (GUI) requirements for the received lab results? • What are the EHR storage requirements for the received lab results? • Given that the LOINC code is likely to be translated into the EHR internal representation, what lab test names need to be displayed in exact form and what lab test names can be displayed in an equivalence text (same concept)? • What qualifies as “equivalence—same concept”? How is that determined? Can it be? Expert inspector only? Should displaying of the LOINC text (only) be the requirement—i.e., no mapping? • What is the impact of sending only the LOINC code (i.e., no local code) on testing? Use Case LRI EHR Test Harness Test Case Test Data Juror Document 718-7 (LN) LRI Test Message 718-7 (LN) Lab Message EHR Communication Displayed as internal display text representation ACK 718-7 (LN) ACK Validation Report Validation Translated into internal representation
