Hello,
I am excited to join LOINC and Regenstrief and the wider LOINC community. I am looking forward to working with you. As we begin a new phase of working together, I wanted to share some background on myself and what inspires and motivates me.
I’ve been working in informatics for almost 25 years with an emphasis in terminology standards and clinical quality measurement. Also, many who know me describe me as curious with a thirst for learning. I fundamentally believe that continuous learning is important to doing great and useful things.
I am here because I am passionate about the power and potential of LOINC and clinical terminologies to improve health and health outcomes. I am here because our community has an unparalleled capability to make an impact. The LOINC community is established and respected in the health care standards realm. We could not ask for a better foundation to tap future potential and opportunities.
Sincerely,
Marjorie Rallins, DPM, MS
Executive Director, LOINC
