N3.ODLI (Laboratory Data Exchange)

2019: Inclusion of the service in the international registry HL7 FHIR

On December 5, 2019, the company Netrika"" announced that the service "N3.ODLI" was included in the official register of solutions IT for the digital health care international community. HL7 FHIR"N3.ODLI" is used to automate the exchange data of laboratory studies within the framework of the Federal project for the creation. a single digital circuit in healthcare based on EGIS

According to the developer, the service "N3.ODLI" is designed for centralized management of laboratory research data at the regional level. The system allows you to abandon the paper flow between clinical laboratories and medical organizations - the results of laboratory studies are provided to doctors and patients in electronic form. The service "N3.ODLI" is implemented in accordance with the international standard HL7 FHIR - a modern branch of the international industry standard HL7.

"N3.ODLI" is a service that focuses on interaction with laboratory diagnostic services. Laboratory data is a key component of information exchange in healthcare, and here the application of the FHIR standard has many advantages. The register clearly demonstrates exactly how health care providers use the standard in different countries of the world to improve the delivery of medical care. By studying the experience of colleagues, developers can make sure that the standard is effectively used to solve a variety of problems. Of course, the inclusion of the decision in the registry is an opportunity to tell the world about Russian achievements in the field of digital healthcare, " noted Graham Grieve, HL7 FHIR Product Director

According to the company "Netrika," the service "N3.ODLI" is the first Russian IT product used in the public sector for digitalization of healthcare processes at the regional level, which was included in the official registry of solutions on FHIR. Previously, the service became widespread in Russia. According to December 2019, the decision has already been implemented or is at the stage of implementation in 11 regions of Russia.

"The HL7 FHIR standard is actively developing around the world, and the inclusion of the system in the registry is a kind of quality sign: in order to comply with it, the developer must maintain a high level of organization of development and analytics processes. In addition, the inclusion of "N3.ODLI" in the international register means that the service is applicable not only in the context of the Russian health system, but also abroad, " noted' Andrey Dyukov, Deputy Head of the Department of Sales and Development of the "Healthcare" direction of the company "Netrika"

"FHIR has a practical focus: only the main, most important concepts that are in demand in 80% of cases are included in the standard. The remaining 20% are not fixed rigidly. Due to this, the standard retains flexibility and provides high development speed. Health systems, regulatory frameworks and the school of health organization differ greatly from country to country. However, as the FHIR-based decision registry shows, the standard is useful and applicable in a variety of circumstances, " noted' Vladimir Turin, system architect of the Healthcare direction of Netrika "

As noted in "Netrik," as of December 2019, there is a process of transition to the FHIR standard for the exchange of laboratory research data in all 85 regions of Russia: this requirement is mandatory for transferring information to the federal service of the national integration center for monitoring biological threats (NIC MBU), which is a unit in the structure of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee "Protection." With the help of modern information technologies, ICC MBU collects and analyzes information on dangerous viruses, bacteria and confirmed cases of laboratory diagnosis of dangerous diseases, which allows preventing epidemics and effectively combating biological threats. The support of the federal service of NIC MBU is also carried out by the company "Netrika."

FHIR, unlike other standards of the HL7 family, is developed according to the Open Source model, that is, by the international community of developers of information systems for medicine. This means that any developer can receive the support of the international community - when creating the N3.ODLI service, such support was provided by a member of the Russian FHIR community, Health Samurai. Open exchange of experience is an important condition for the development of the standard, therefore, resources such as the official register of decisions on FHIR are given great attention in HL7.
