OLIS HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide Provider Query - Overview
The Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) gives authorized health care providers access to lab test orders and results from hospitals, community labs and public health labs. As patients move between hospitals, family physicians, home care and long-term care settings, OLIS makes viewing patients’ current and past test results easier and enables treatment decisions to be made at the point-of-care.
Authorized users across the province can access lab results from OLIS through their clinical viewer (ClinicalConnect™ or ConnectingOntario ClinicalViewer), or their EMR system.
Scope
This FHIR – also known as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources – specification for OLIS Provider Query is designed for provider application use and supports view-only laboratory data. It ensures all information technology systems that retrieve lab data from OLIS can exchange and understand the content through standard HL7 FHIR messages and terminologies.

Status
FHIR is an evolving trial-for-use standard, so additional changes by HL7 are expected. We will continue to monitor developments and assess any potential impacts, and publish updates as they emerge.
