Abstract: At the Indiana University Hospital (IUH) site on the Indianapolis campus, HL7 version 2.1 is being implemented via a TCP/IP LAN, (using the "Minimal" Lower Layer Protocol). HL7 is currently being used to convey record-oriented lab results from the local clinical laboratory system to a clinical database system via an intelligent router, which also provides store and forward capabilities. The database application displays the lab results in a variety of configurable formats to clinical users.
