Request test name reference set

The name of a pathology investigation or grouped investigations is required to enable the laboratory to conduct the right investigation and the pathologist to interpret and report on the results clearly and unambiguously.

This reference set contains terminology for describing the name of a single pathology investigation or a panel of grouped pathology investigations that may be requested by a clinician. It 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 Result Report SDT (Pathology Result Report Structured Document Template. Sydney: NEHTA; 2009. v1.0.).

Note: This reference set is identical to the Result test name reference set.
