Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, Classifications and Public Health Data Standards Section
We are interested in "mapping" the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health to LOINC, in response to the November, 2006 recommendations from the federal Consolidated Health Informatics Initiative that were subsequently adopted by the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics and the Secretary for Health and Human Services.
Charles River Research Animal Diagnostic Services
To develop standard codes for laboratory animal infectious disease diagnostic assays for use in a multi-laboratory Internet laboratory information management system (ILIMS).
Chicago Department of Public Health
We have an ongoing effort to establish ELR from Chicago hospitals into our NEDSS solution. We request LOINC codes be sent in OBX-3 and OBR-4 in their HL7 messages, and provide prospective ELR providers with a library of requested LOINC codes for the most common tests that define each reportable condition. We are also building an ELR interface to be deployed behind each interested hospital's firewall that maps their local LIS codes to the LOINCs that we request. We use RELMA to assist with choosing the optimal LOINC for our library.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
The Standards and Terminology Service (STS) is responsible for enterprise wide standards and terminology applications for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Current projects involving the use of LOINC® include the following:
DICOM Standards Committee
