Introduction

This implementation guide is based on FHIR version R4. Specify a set of rules that will be used for HL7 FHIR to define how to represent Laboratory Report in the Czech national context, in line with European eHN guidelines.

Its main objective is to define the content components and the preferred structure to be used to construct a laboratory report. The purpose of this standard is to define the representation of the laboratory report as a patient's medical record for the purpose of electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers and infrastructure in the Czech Republic.

This guide does not describe how to exchange this message.

Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.cz.lab.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.cz.lab.r4b) are available.
