3.2.9.5.1.5. SNOMED CT - LOINC ® Integration Table
Note:
Release File Formats | 179
The LOINC Integration Table is not currently supported by the IHTSDO, and has not been updated
for the current SNOMED CT International Release.The information below is provided for reference
purposes only.
The Laboratory LOINC database provides a standardized set of names and codes for identifying laboratory
test results. Created by the Regenstrief Institute, the purpose of LOINC is to facilitate the exchange and
pooling of results for outcomes management and research. Each LOINC code represents a unique laboratory
test distinguished by six main parts that include the analyte measured, the property observed, the time aspect
involved, the sample or system type, the scale of measurement, and where relevant the method of
measurement. Taken together, these six components define a single laboratory test result. Additional details
about LOINC, including access to the LOINC database files, are available from
www.regenstrief.org/loinc/loinc.htm.
SNOMED CT is a clinical reference terminology. SNOMED CT concepts are explicitly represented in a
multi-hierarchical structure. Each of the six distinguishing parts of a given LOINC test result are found in
SNOMED CT and assigned in a hierarchy.
