Test Request
Purpose
Elements are included for the billing approach, TAT/SLA tracking and prioritisation. To confirm validity of urgency and apply lower level prioritisation. To know which test has been requested, which further tests are required within this request and how many patients are being tested within this request.
Notes
Mapped to ServiceRequest, extensions are still in review. CI and CITT codes for genomic tests are pending addition to SNOMED-CT

Test request - Count of patients to be tested | N/A - Determined through number of Patients referenced in ServiceRequests in test order | N/A - for HL7v2, each patient test request SHOULD be sent using a new OML^O21 message | Count of patients to be tested. |
Test request - Urgency reason | ServiceRequest.extension:priorityReason | N/A could possibly use TQ1-10 | If urgent, the test request urgency reason. |
Test request - Reason for reanalysis | Additional ServiceRequest.reasonCode elements | OBR-13 segment linked to ORC | The reason for a genomic test. |
Test request - Detail of reason for reanalysis | ServiceRequest.supportingInfo elements (if structured, ServiceRequest.note if unstructured TBC) | NTE segments linked to OBR segment for reanalysis reason | The detail associated to the reason reanalysis has been requested. |
Test request - Type of reanalysis | ServiceRequest.orderDetail | Additional NTE segments attached to OBR | The type of reanalysis which has been requested. |
Test request - DNA storage information | ServiceRequest.orderDetail | Additional NTE segments attached to OBR | If the reason for testing is DNA storage, this captures further detail. |
Test request - Is urgent | ServiceRequest.priority | TQ1-9 | Confirmation if the test request is urgent. |
Test request - Date report required by | ServiceRequest.occurrenceDateTime | OBR-8 | The date a completed genomic report is required by. |
