Application Exercise- LOINC
LOINC is a unique terminology in many ways. Not only was development and evolution carefully planned, but documentation is very comprehensive. I’ve added the LOINC User’s Guide to your reference material for this week.
Complete the following 3 activities and submit a word or pdf file that addresses the following:
1.
Explore the listing of organizations that have adopted LONIC
(
https://loinc.org/adopters/
).
. What kind of institutions are currently using LONIC? How are they using it?
2.
Explore the web pages concerning RELMA
(
https://loinc.org/relma/
). a tool that is designed to work with the LOINC terminology.
.

3.
