APHL comment to expand elements included for laboratory
- We suggest to include the following data elements from level 2 into USCDI as this data is already widely supported and included in laboratory results:
- test result status
- test result date timestamp
- test performed date/time – which should be renamed to clinically relevant time (which for laboratory tests is the same as the specimen collection date time)
- specimen collection date/time (same as what USCDI defines as the test performed date/time)
- specimen type
