there is one standard way to put "Pap Smear" on a pathology request and
report - so the medical software could trigger actions automatically.
Hugh,
MD can already tell you when the last pap smear was, based on pathology
report dates. You can enter the term your provider uses in its reports
for a pap smear.
Most path providers will now provide your results in HL7 and MD will put
atomic data on a range of diabetes related tests, such as HbA1C,
triglyceride, cholesterol, and a number of others, into the measures
table and hence the diabetes record and progress notes.
If GPs start requesting HL7 results from their pathology providers and
annoying their medical software vendors the list will grow.
