Thank you for reporting this issue. We will investigate and try to have a solution in the next release.
RELMA allows you to build complex queries. In this case, I have added the additional keyword “gynecology” to additionally limit the search results.
Happy LOINCing,
John
RELMA does not have a specific view of the document ontology. To see the hierarchy you can search for “class:doc.ontology” and then select the tree view in the search result grid. You should see a hierarchical display as shown in this screen shot.
Stépphane,
Use the PART search screen in RELMA to find the document ontology PARTs. You can then search by PART# (“LP” code) or key word.
The “map to” term for a DEPRECATED LOINC is shown on the detail page. Just double click the term in the result grid to see it. The replacement term for 11528-7 is 18748-4.
The search LOINC function should be able to find all currently released LOINC codes. Have you entering the actual LOINC number into the search box? If that doesn’t work, please provide specific examples of the LOINC codes that you cannot find.
Charles,
We have had several people examine the file and they have been able to find the LOINC codes that you have listed. Could you please download the file again and take another look? https://loinc.org/downloads/loinc/
Regards,
JohnThe MAP_TO table is used to identify the appropriate replacement for LOINC terms that have been DEPRECATED or DISCOURAGED. You can find a detailed explanation in section 11.2 of the LOINC Users’ Guide.
I have examined the MAP_TO table distributed in the 2.59 release of LOINC. I can find no LOINC number in the MAP_TO.LOINC or MAP_TO.MAP_TO column that does not also appear in the LOINC.LOINC column. Can you please provide examples of the LOINC numbers that you cannot find?

Gerri,
There is no radiology option in the batch process system. As the name implies, it has been optimized for lab terms a few releases batch.
However, both the mapping screen and basic search screen have drop down menus that let you choose the “Clinical Automapper” search algorithm. Just click the dropdown that says “Standard Search” by default.
Hope this helps at least a little.
John
Geralyn,
The RELMA “Intelligent Mapper” is included with the RELMA program. It now goes by the name “Lab Auto Mapper.” It is available from the top level menu of the program. As the name implies, several years ago it was optimized for use with lab terms. Detailed instructions of its use are included in the RELMA users’ manual. I hope that it performs well with your local codes.

Vladimir,
Thank you for letting us know about this problem. We will work to get it resolved.
As a work around, I recommend that you use the built in RELMA help feature. It contains the same information in the user manual but in a more interactive format. You can get to the help by clicking the “?” button on either the search screen or the mapping screen. You can also access the help by pressing the F1 key.
Happy LOINCing,

The fields are the same. Looks like it is just an inconsistency in our release process.
Karanvir,
Sorry to hear that are having issues with RELMA. The process you describes seems like it should work. However, an easier way to share an LMOF file is described in our FAQ available here.
I can work with you to try to resolve the issue with your LMOF. You can contact me via the RELMA support form available here.
John
Vladimir,
This is indeed a flaw in the program. We will work to get it corrected. Thank you for you feed back.
John
Valdimir,
I have been able to duplicate your results. This is obviously a bug in the system. Thank you for reporting. We will try to have it corrected in the next release.
John
We do not distribute the LOINC parts as part of our distribution, though it has been discussed at length at recent committee meetings.
