Out of range indicator reference set

This reference set contains terminology for describing whether the value for a particular pathology observation is within or outside of its reference range. If the result is outside the reference range, this indicator may also describe the direction in which the result falls outside the range.

This reference set supports the accurate and unambiguous electronic communication and exchange of information relating to pathology result reporting between a pathology provider to a requesting clinician, or other approved recipient.

This reference set can be used within implementations of the Pathology Test Result DCM (Pathology Test Result Detailed Clinical Model Specification. Sydney: NEHTA; 2015. v3.1.) and the Pathology Result Report SDT (Pathology Result Report Structured Document Template. Sydney: NEHTA; 2009. v1.0.).
