Resource Profile: DiagnosticReport - Toxicology Lab Result to MDI

The findings and interpretation of diagnostic tests performed during a death investigation and sent from a forensic toxicology laboratory information management system (LIMS) to an MDI CMS. Each analyzed specimen, represented by a Specimen - Toxicology Lab resource, must be referenced by at least one Observation - Toxicology Lab Result and may be referenced by more than one Observation - Toxicology Lab Result. For specimens received but not analyzed, the laboratory should provide a reason for no analysis in the DiagnosticReport.conclusion and/or each unanalyzed specimen’s Specimen - Toxicology Lab Specimen.note.
