Enabling international adoption of LOINC through translation

Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2012
Interoperable health information exchange depends on adoption of terminology standards, but international use of such standards can be challenging because of language differences between local concept names and the standard terminology. To address this important barrier, we describe the evolution of an efficient process for constructing translations of

A corpus-based approach for automated LOINC mapping [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association: JAMIA, 2014
To determine whether the knowledge contained in a rich corpus of local terms mapped to LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) could be leveraged to help map local terms from other institutions.We developed two models to test our hypothesis. The first based on supervised machine learning was created using Apache's OpenNLP Maxent and the

Unit conversions between LOINC codes [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 2017
Abstract Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) is the most widely used controlled vocabulary to identify laboratory tests. A given laboratory test can often be reported in more than 1 unit of measure (eg, grams or moles), and LOINC defines unique codes for each unit.

Supporting interoperability of genetic data with LOINC [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 2015
Abstract Electronic reporting of genetic testing results is increasing, but they are often represented in diverse formats and naming conventions. Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) is a vocabulary standard that provides universal identifiers for laboratory tests and clinical observations.

Classifier Chains for LOINC Transcoding

Purpose: Mapping clinical observations and medical test results into the standardized vocabulary LOINC is a prerequisite for exchanging clinical data between health information systems and ensuring efficient interoperability. Methods: We present a comparison of three approaches for LOINC transcoding applied to French data collected from real-world ...

Auditing consistency and usefulness of LOINC use among three large institutions – Using version spaces for grouping LOINC codes

Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2012
We wanted to develop a method for evaluating the consistency and usefulness of LOINC code use across different institutions, and to evaluate the degree of interoperability that can be attained when using LOINC codes for laboratory data exchange. Our specific goals were to: (1) Determine if any contradictory knowledge exists in LOINC.

National Patterns of Biomarker Testing in Colorectal, Lung, and Prostate Cancers: Insights From the NIH Research Program [PDF]

Clinical Medicine Insights: Oncology
Background: Biomarker testing is central to precision oncology, yet real-world implementation across cancer types and populations remains inconsistent. Social determinants of health (SDoH) may influence testing uptake and exacerbate disparities in access
