Secretariat

The Regenstrief Institute and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) jointly serve as the Secretariat for the LOINC/RadLex Committee.

Officer Selection

The LOINC/RadLex Committee will be co-chaired by a Regenstrief appointee and an RSNA appointee.

Active officers must be Members of the LOINC Committee. Should a seated officer experience a change in membership status due to either the loss of individual membership or loss of membership by their organization; that individual will be removed as an officer. The Secretariat holds the responsibility for filling the vacant officer role.

Membership

Members of the LOINC/RadLex Committee will be drawn from stakeholder organizations. Members of the LOINC/RadLex Committee must meet the general qualifications for membership, and will hold membership in the overall LOINC Committee.

Each co-chair will appoint up to three (3) additional committee members. Additionally, the co-chairs, by mutual agreement, will select up to three (3) at-large members representing other stakeholder organizations. The total number of committee members will thus not exceed eleven (11).

Meetings

The LOINC/RadLex Committee will meet at least once a year. The LOINC/RadLex Committee may hold additional meetings and teleconferences with the agreement of at least one co-chair. The LOINC/RadLex Committee meetings will be open to all interested participants.

Decision-making

The decisions of the Committee will be made by consensus whenever possible. The following decisions will be made by a majority vote of the voting members at a meeting of the Committee at which a quorum is present:

  1. Whether to include or exclude terms from the LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook
  2. The content and format of the LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook term metadata
  3. Changes to the information model for the LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook

A quorum which consists of a majority of Committee members with active voting rights will be required for the Committee to take action.
