The international standard for identifying health measurements, observations, and documents. Reference labs, healthcare providers, government agencies, insurance companies, software and device manufacturers, researchers, and consumers from around the globe use LOINC to identify data and move it seamlessly between systems.
LOINC is a common language (set of identifiers, names, and codes) for identifying health measurements, observations, and documents. If you think of an observation as a "question" and the observation result value as an "answer." 2.
LOINC is a rich catalog of measurements, including laboratory tests, clinical measures like vital signs and anthropometric measures, standardized survey instruments, and more. LOINC also contains codes for collections of these items, such as panels, forms, and documents. LOINC enables the exchange and aggregation of clinical results for care ...
LOINC is the world's most widely used terminology standard for health measurements, observations, and documents. LOINC helps make health data more portable and understandable to different computer systems and applications.
LOINC Term Basics. LOINC's goal is to create different codes for each test, measurement, or observation that has a clinically different meaning. To do that LOINC codes distinguish a given observation (test ordered/reported, survey question, clinical document) across six dimensions that we call Parts. 3.
LOINC provides a set of universal names and ID codes for identifying laboratory and clinical test results. 1, 2 LOINC facilitates the exchange and pooling of results, such as blood hemoglobin, serum potassium, or vital signs, for clinical care, outcomes management, and research. LOINC's universal identifiers (names and codes) can be used in the ...
The LOINC database is available for free download. In addition to the LOINC table files, this zip archive also includes a number of accessory files which can prove useful in your implementation or use of LOINC. Released: 2024-08-06. Size: 72MB.
The fast track to LOINCing. We know you want to hit the ground running, so we’ve created a few lists that help focus on some low hanging fruit. With help from the LOINC community, we’ve compiled three data-driven lists to jump start your standardization effort. Get them all right here.
LOINC Panels are collections of terms to represent specific sets of information. Beginning with version 1.0, the LOINC database was expanded to include order sets/panels. We use the word “panel” to mean collector terms that are linked to an enumerated set of discrete child elements. Across domains, this generic concept of a collection might ...
Our goal is for LOINC to serve as a universal catalog and uniform representation of SDH data elements. LOINC currently includes thousands of such SDH variables. And yet, we are eager to fill in the known gaps as stakeholders identify and adopt common instruments and variables. University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
