ACLA ISA comment re: added text and definition of harmonization

This text was added under Limitations, Dependencies, and Preconditions for Consideration: “Laboratory test results may require additional information beyond the result value for correct handling and interpretation, including units, reference range, harmonization status of the test, and identifiers for device, test kit, kit version, reagent lot, and calibrator lot. Not all of these elements are included in current messaging standards for the full result reporting path. See “Representing Laboratory Values/Results.” Please clarify the term “harmonization status”.  We suggest this term be removed until it can be further clarified for expected implementation, clearly measured, etc.  It is too nebulous as currently stated.  For example, can it be measured and if so, how is it validated and how does it relate to the laboratory test results or provider’s EHR system laboratory test results? Please review the “Applicable Security Patterns for Consideration” applicability to the section and if not applicable, remove.  This would be more appropriate in an introductory section.  This change, if approved, might be applied throughout the document.
