For an overview of all current documentation see information standard lab exchange main page
1 Introduction[bewerken]
This is the technical design (TO) for the information standard (IS) Lab Exchange. This TO must be used together with the IS functional design, see functional design Lab 4.0.0. The data exchange format used in this version is: FHIR R4.
1.1 Support[bewerken]
For questions, feedback, or change requests, please contact our support team at Nictiz Servicemanagement.
1.2 Boundaries[bewerken]
This information standard may overlap with other standards related to identification, roles, and geographic classifications, requiring careful alignment to ensure consistency and avoid duplication. For more information, see functional design Lab 4.0.0.
1.3 Prerequisite knowledge[bewerken]
The following background information is required for understanding this TO:
- The functional design Lab 4.0.0 accompanying this TO.
- The data exchange format FHIR R4, which you can find here:
2 Relationships[bewerken]
The diagrams below show the relationships between different FHIR profiles. The arrows indicate an “is referenced in” relationship.
For example, Patient → Laboratory Test means that the Patient is referenced within the Laboratory Test resource.
2.1 Model overview for usecases without the request[bewerken]
2.2 Model overview for usecase with the request[bewerken]
3 Components[bewerken]
HL7 FHIR is used to accommodate the Dutch Clinical Information Models (zibs) used in the IS.
3.1 HL7 FHIR R4[bewerken]
|
|
Nictiz uses the FHIR Packaging mechanism. This conveniently bundles all profiles, terminology, example material and other conformance resources you need into a single archive, which can be downloaded or installed using the appropriate FHIR tooling. This version of the information standard uses the following packages:
Note: packages use Semantic Versioning. Other versions can be used at will as long as they have the same major.minor number or a minor number higher than the stated version. |
3.1.1 Artifacts[bewerken]
The artifacts of the information standard are presented in the following table:
| zib | FHIR resource | FHIR profile |
|---|---|---|
| HealthcareProvider | Organization | nl-core-HealthcareProvider-Organization |
| HealthProfessional | Practitioner | nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner |
| PractitionerRole | nl-core-HealthProfessional-PractitionerRole | |
| LaboratoryTestResult | Device | nl-core-LaboratoryTestResult.Specimen.Source |
| Observation | nl-core-LaboratoryTestResult | |
| Specimen | nl-core-LaboratoryTestResult.Specimen | |
| Patient | Patient | nl-core-Patient |
| DiagnosticReport | lu-LaboratoryTestResult-DiagnosticReport | |
| ServiceRequest | lu-OrderData |
3.1.2 Examples of FHIR instances[bewerken]
You can find examples of FHIR-instances (filled-in FHIR profiles) in the Nictiz GitHub repository: Lab exchange HL7-mappings repository.
4 Transactions[bewerken]

4.1.1.1 Involved actors[bewerken]
| Transaction group | Transaction | Actor | System role code | FHIR CapabilityStatement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Send laboratory results based on a request | Send laboratory results based on a request | Client | LAB-LAS | Lab2Healthcare_Results_SendReceive |
| Receive laboratory results | Server | LAB-LAO |
4.1.2 Health professional retrieves lab results[bewerken]
4.1.2.1 Involved actors[bewerken]

| Retrieve laboratory results response | Server | LAB-LRB |
4.1.2.2 Search parameters[bewerken]
The search interaction is performed by an HTTP GET in agreement with the FHIR specification. The table below lists search parameters that SHALL be supported for processing by servers and MAY be supported by clients. For brevity of the table, the column names are not descriptive, hence a short explanation on what each column means:
- FHIR Search Parameter is the name of the parameter. We abuse terminology here, by including
$lastnin this table, which technically is an operation on Observation. - Data type refers to the data type of the value expected for a given parameter in a search request.
- Description is a short explanation of the purpose of the parameter in the context of this use case.
- Inclusion determines whether a parameter is required to appear within a single search request. SHALL means that it is mandatory to use this parameter for any search request in this use case. MAY means that it is optional.
- Repetition indicates whether a parameter may appear once or multiple times within a single search request.
- Combination logic describes how multiple occurrences of the same parameter are logically combined (AND/OR) when the parameter is repeated within a single search request. For general behavior regarding AND/OR logic, see the section about the use of search parameters in the IG.
- FHIR Resource refers to which resource the search parameter applies in this use case.
In some cases, a column is not applicable to a specific parameter. In that case we use the flag "n/a".
| FHIR Search Parameter | Data type | Description | Inclusion | Repetition | Combination logic | FHIR Resource |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
