HL7 vs ASTM for LIS Integration | Medrara

Compare HL7 and ASTM messaging for laboratory interfaces: when each protocol is used and how Medrara supports bidirectional analyzer connectivity.

HL7 messaging is often used when exchanging orders and results with hospital systems or enterprise interfaces, while ASTM is frequently chosen for direct analyzer links in point-to-point setups.

Medrara can accommodate both patterns; the right choice depends on your analyzer models, interface documentation, and IT topology.

Implementation details vary by firmware and mapping—plan validation and logging before go-live.
