Results from Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) are being reported electronically and made available to view on My Covid Record.
On 6 December 2021, Covid-19 lab test results were added to My Covid Record using a FHIR-based API developed by Sysmex. The API queries the Environmental Science and Research (ESR) Eclair database, a Sysmex solution which holds all Covid testing data from around the country.
A great example of standards in action in this eHealthNews story
Sysmex’s FHIR API for access to COVID-19 test results in the ESR Eclair COVID-19 test record repository is used to make these test results viewable in My Covid Record
Besides HL7® FHIR®, the standards used include SNOMED CT, LOINC and Health Provider Index (HPI) identifiers
