WMPI1609 - CME/CMLE - Lab Middleware Interfaces
Course Description

This course primarily discusses the basics of interfaces as they relate to the laboratory information system. The way messages are formatted will be discussed and various ways data are represented in the medical interfaces will be distinguished. The course also explores point-of-care testing, laboratory-provider linkage functions, and using middleware relating to the lab information system and the laboratory instruments.
