With the goal of facilitating broader interoperability of health data around the globe to enhance and improve the delivery of healthcare, LOINC® from Regenstrief and SNOMED International have commenced generation of The LOINC Ontology: A LOINC and SNOMED CT interoperability solution.
The LOINC Ontology supports providers and users who implement different combinations of SNOMED CT and LOINC in health information systems and allows them to meet clinical and regulatory requirements in a single solution. Linked together in a complementary way, SNOMED CT provides the computable framework and LOINC provides laboratory and pathology content in an understood format to countries who do not currently use LOINC. The LOINC Ontology supports providers and users who implement different combinations of SNOMED CT and LOINC in health information systems and allows them to meet clinical and regulatory requirements in a single solution.
Regenstrief and SNOMED International Broaden Collaboration for Interoperability
Key Points:
- Regenstrief and SNOMED International collaborate to generate The LOINC Ontology
- Goal to facilitate broader interoperability of health data globally
- LOINC and SNOMED CT interoperability solution to meet clinical and regulatory requirements
