ELINCS within healthcare software interoperability The EHR-Lab Interoperability and Connectivity Specification (ELINCS) specification provides a profile that refines (or constrains) “standard”
HL7 messages to moving lab results from reference labs to physician offices. Like
IHE, the ELINICS profile constrains the generic HL7 standard to a specific set of use cases. In addition the ELINICS standard provides business rules that must be followed between the trading partners. Such rules are outside the scope of the base HL7 standard.
