We have now finished the design phase of the Lab Test Results data type which is intended to store, as the name implies, the results from lab tests. This data type has undergone several primary changes which include:
-
The ability to store the individual/organization that ordered the test.
-
The status of a collection of tests as well as individual tests.
-
The ability to express measurements in both a human readable string as well as a structured value/units pair.
Before we release this new set of updates, we'd like to hear from you if this is a data type you would like to use with HealthVault. To make this a bit easier, here's a graphic representing the entire Lab Test Results data type: http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/timsell/images/8393979/original.aspx. Take a look and let us know what you think.
