Invitation to the 2008 Public Laboratory LOINC® Workshop and Meeting
LOINC (Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes) is a no-cost database of over 50,000 names and codes that identify laboratory, clinical, and HIPAA attachment variables.
Workshop and Meeting Purpose:
- To educate users about the use and utility of LOINC codes.
- To obtain public input
Why LOINC?
As the practice, regulation, and reimbursement of medicine become more complicated, we need a standard way to identify tests, and other clinical measurements-a common language for building electronic medical records, managing the clinical enterprise, doing research and work together-so we can speak the same language especially in terms of analyzing biological samples and interpreting test results. LOINC codes provide that language.
