Logical observation identifier names and codes (LOINC) database: a public use set of codes and names for electronic reporting of clinical laboratory test results.
Many laboratories use electronic message standards to transmit results to their clients. If all laboratories used the same "universal" set of test identifiers, electronic transmission of results would be greatly simplified. The Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC) database aims to be such a code system, covering at least 98% of the average laboratory's tests. The LOINC databas...
متن کاملUsing Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC) to exchange laboratory data among three academic hospitals
Using a standard set of names and codes to exchange electronic laboratory data would facilitate multiinstitutional research and data pooling. This need has led to the development of the Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC) database and its test naming convention. We conducted a study which required 3 academic hospitals (in 2 separate medical centers) to extract raw laboratory ...
متن کاملCombining laboratory data sets from multiple institutions using the logical observation identifier names and codes (LOINC)
A standard set of names and codes for laboratory test results is critical for any endeavor requiring automated data pooling, including multi-institutional research and cross-facility patient care. This need has led to the development of the logical observation identifier names and codes (LOINC) database and its test-naming convention. This study is an expansion of a pilot study using LOINC to e...
متن کاملRepresenting nursing assessments in clinical information systems using the logical observation identifiers, names, and codes database
In recent years, the Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, and Codes (LOINC) Database has been expanded to include assessment items of relevance to nursing and in 2002 met the criteria for "recognition" by the American Nurses Association. Assessment measures in LOINC include those related to vital signs, obstetric measurements, clinical assessment scales, assessments from standardized nursing...
متن کاملStandardizing Clinical Document Names Using the HL7/LOINC Document Ontology and LOINC Codes.
The standardization of clinical document names is an essential first step towards the optimal use, management, and exchange of documents within and across institutions. The HL7/LOINC Document Ontology (DO) is an existing and evolving document standard developed to provide consistent naming of clinical documents and to guide the creation of LOINC codes for clinical notes. The goal of this study ...
