Download LOINC Table, Reports, or User's Guide

RI Icon The LOINC table includes fields for the LOINC codes and each of the six parts of the name of the LOINC observations. In addition, it contains many synonyms, comments, and other information. Related words ("synonyms") are included to facilitate searches for individual laboratory test and clinical observation results. The LOINC table is available for downloading in several file formats which are described below. These are provided at no cost (see copyright statements). In each format, the first part of the file contains the copyright notice with permission to use the database for any purpose without charge or written permission. We have copyrighted the tables and this document to prevent multiple variants that would defeat the purpose of a universal identifier for test results.

Download HL7 Lint
RI Icon The flexibility of the HL7 standard makes it easy to construct a Hl7 messages that have correct syntax, but with less than optimal semantics. The HL7-Lint program is a very tentative first step at attempting to find and report some of these issues. This initial offering of HL7-Lint program is limited in scope to looking for UNITS that are out of place. The HL7-Lint program is a standalone Windows program. To use the program, you will need to download and install the program on your Windows PC. You will also need to supply files of HL7 messages for the program to process. We've tried to make the user interface simple and intuitive. However, you will still want to read the supplied user manual to learn of the available features of the program.
