LOINC code standards

We talked before about HL7 and other health ethics and operation legislations but what interesting about LOINC that it is not only work standards of medical field but also code for analysis and work results.  In order to start the story from beginning we need first to know more and defined it in details. LOINC is a code standards for identifying medical laboratory measurements and observations, it differs than SNOMED CT because the last dealing with systematized nomenclature of medicine while LOINC adaptable to be analytical tool of laboratory observations and measurements. Moreover; more specified to deal with results and set the practical comparisons between them. Under excessive demands to get electronic database for clinical figures of laboratory measurements; LOINC first developed 1990 not only as a protocol and standards of laboratory results analysis but also exceeded to reach and set up integrated databases wrap most of clinical information inside one working code. Later approved by American Clinical Laboratory Association to extend the spectrum of data unites to include over laboratory measurements code of work nursing diagnosis, nursing intervention, outcome classifications and patient care data sets.

Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) applied as universal code of laboratory terms and measurements worked as related resource to HER. The core functions of LOINC basically to assist in the process of electronic exchange and gathering clinical results with deniable hands over diagnosis processes. Clinical results such as laboratory tests, clinical observations, researches figures with clinical results. I would like to mention here something really interesting about LOINC that it is not linear codes of work. It has two main part clinical and laboratory; clinical part of LOINC close to clinical reports and documents with clinical results analysis between them. This code system owns the ability to help medical workers and practitioners to get any information demanded over a period of time from many topographical areas with enough analysis and measurements whether in laboratory results or in clinical reports.  

Since 1994 LOINC became official standards of US Federal Government system for electronic exchange of clinical health information. LIONC facilitate the transferring data and medical in electronic form between departments and divisions with facility to get these data from different areas not only working or aimed one. Above academic and professional effects and benefits of LOINC code standards, it creates complete integrator of medical databases for electronic health record and also medical researcher authorities in future. The working clinical figures and reports became easier to be gotten and transfer among hospitals, clinics departments and even with regular feedbacks to medical authorities when demanded. By LOINC laboratory medical results conveyed to be integrated from different sources to form some available database help patients and research purposes. At present; LOINC became trade mark and icon of clinical and laboratory measurements with efficient laboratory standards of work. Full health J
