Regenstrief Institute is pleased to announce the availability of the Common Lab Orders LOINC Value Set Version 1.1.

This value set was developed by the Lister Hill Center at the National Library of Medicine, with the help of the Regenstrief Institute and LOINC Committee, many HITSP participants, and the ACLA. This version contains 292 laboratory test and test panel codes and includes some of the terms (such as urinalyses and blood counts) from the November beta release that were withheld from the Version 1 release for additional discussion. There are still about 61 terms from the November beta release that are currently under review (these account for approximately 4% of the testing volume) for inclusion in future versions.

The Common Lab Orders list is available as an Excel spreadsheet or a pdf at: http://loinc.org/usage
