Local order-detail codes from Histotrac, the Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics LIMS - see Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, HLA Tests - Transplant Ask At Order Entry and Chimerism Test Additional Ask At Order Entry Questions.
Unlike the Test Code carried in OBR-4/ServiceRequest.code (a $DGTS Genomic/Genetic
Test (GT) code, or a local NWTestCode code for test
families with no national code), these concepts model the Patient Test(s)
order-detail restatement seen in the live Histotrac ORM^O01/OML^O21 orders - the
value Histotrac itself carries alongside the Test Code to say which specific
lineage/panel or transplant test was ordered. Bound to ServiceRequest.orderDetail
via HistotracOrderDetail - see
GenomicTestCodes for the separate ServiceRequest.code
binding these relate to via the relatedTestCode property below.
Sourced as HL7 v2 CE (coded element)-style code^text^codingSystem strings from the
HISTOTRACEAP coding system - see each concept's worked example
(HLA Tests - Transplant,
Chimerism Testing).
These are distinct from the local NWGMSA answer options (e.g. HLAAntibodyScreening,
ChimerismPeripheralBlood) used on the Ask At Order Entry Questionnaires' own
order-entry choice items - those model the order-entry UI selection, these are what
Histotrac itself calls the resulting order.

Properties
This code system defines the following properties for its concepts
| Name | Code | URI | Type | Description |
| category | category | https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/England-GenomicTestDirectory#category | code | Which part of the National Genomic Test Directory this code belongs to - reuses the same category values as CodeSystem-GenomicTestCode/CodeSystem-DigitalGenomicTestServices, plus histocompatibility-immunogenetics for codes outside that scheme |
| relatedTestCode | relatedTestCode | https://fhir.nwgenomics.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/Histotrac#relatedTestCode | code | The Test Code (OBR-4 / ServiceRequest.code) this order-detail concept is ordered under - a $DGTS Genomic/Genetic Test (GT) code, or a local NWTestCode code |
