LOINC Panels and Forms File (4.7 MB)

An export of a key subset of the Panels and Forms represented in LOINC. The entire package of this key subset is currently available, in addition to separate packages for Laboratory panels, Clinical panels, Consumer Health panels, HEDIS panels, the HL7 Clinical Genetics panels, Newborn Screening panels, PhenX panels, US Government panels (including the CMS survey instruments MDSv2, MDSv3, OASIS, and CARE), and Other Survey Instruments. The hierarchical structure is represented in the file by the PARENT_ID, ID and SEQUENCE fields. The root, or top level, records in the file are those records where the PARENT_ID = ID. The records are in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (compressed as a zip file) with separate worksheets (tabs) for the form structure, loinc code details, and answer lists.

LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy File (1.0 MB)

An export of the LOINC Multi-axial hierarchy in a computable format. The records in this file represent nodes of the hierarchy, whether LOINC Parts or full LOINC codes. The ordered sequence at any level of the hierarchy is given by the SEQUENCE field. Top level nodes in the hierarchy are those where PATH_TO_ROOT is null. This file is a "Comma Separated Value" text (compressed as a zip file), which can be read by Microsoft Excel and is also suitable for import into most common database platforms. If you open the file in Excel, be aware that there is problem with how Excel automatically formats the "CODE" column by turning strings into dates. See http://bit.ly/io5Pv for more information.
