Reference Ranges Expansion: Which Lab Tests Are of a Priority?

Hi everyone,

It’s exciting to see implementers benefiting from and exploring the Reference Ranges work!

The Palladium team has compiled a list of lab tests they’d wish to see incorporated with reference range support. I wanted to gather community feedback on this list and hear suggestions from others.

Current Status:

From the list shared:

  • Labs in the RefApp but without reference ranges: Total Bilirubin (TBIL) and Total Protein

  • Labs that are not in RefApp: ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase), Serum Albumin, Direct (Conjugated) Bilirubin, and AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

Question for the community:

What are your most commonly used lab tests (1-3) that would be worth considering? Any thoughts on Palladium’s proposed list?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

For the labs that are not in the RefApp, is the plan to add them as part of the default O3 content packages?
