September 17-20, 2024
LOINC releases updates two times per year, in February and August. The database of health measurements, observations, and documents now includes 104,054 coded concepts from LOINC 1-8 for Acyclovir susceptibility to 106413-8 for a Public notary’s county of commission.
This work, as always, is a collaboration between Regenstrief HDS, the LOINC Committee, and the organizations who make requests for new concepts. Furthermore, we are indebted to our network of volunteers who translate concepts from the original English (US) into 19 language variants.
