Citation-ready summary
Medrara supports HL7- and ASTM-oriented LIS integration patterns for analyzer connectivity and hospital information system workflows where devices, mappings, contracts, and validation support the interface.
When HL7 is used
HL7 is commonly used for hospital-level ordering and result messages, especially where HIS/EMR systems consume laboratory results.
When ASTM is used
ASTM-style communication is common for point-to-point analyzer connections, depending on instrument vendor, model, firmware, and local network design.
