All Articles
Abstract

According to the regulation "Decreto del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri" (DPCM) of September 29, 2015, n.178, the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) system is included among the coding systems adopted in the Italian Electronic Health Record (EHR). As part of the Digital Health Solutions in Community Medicine (DHEAL-COM) project, one key goal is to categorize parameters using international classification systems. This enables the identification of appropriate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions tailored to support people's health needs. Our objective is to incorporate LOINC codes for parameter categorization, thus anticipating the future use of EHR.
