Overview • Origins of LOINC
– Background, growth, and the LOINC Community
• A Proposal for Effective use of ICF with LOINC
Origins of LOINC The lingua franca of clinical observation exchange
Introduction • Regenstrief’s 35-year history • Indiana Network for Patient Care
– A working HIE for 15 years – 200+ source systems – 10.5 million patients, 3 billion results – Regenstrief: 3rd party convener
• Regenstrief is the 1st WHO collaborating center in medical informatics
• A fundamental challenge – Local systems use idiosyncratic codes
• Vocabulary standards – Provide the lingua franca of information exchange
Indiana Network for Patient Care
LOINC Background • Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes • Organized by Regenstrief Institute in 1994
– Ongoing support from NLM and Regenstrief
• Covers domain of Clinical Observations – Laboratory Observations (since 1995) – Clinical Observations (since 1996)
• A universal code system that facilitates exchange, pooling, and processing of results
LOINC’s General Role • If an observation is a question, and the
observation value an answer: – LOINC provides codes for the questions {OBR-4, OBX-3}
718-7:Hemoglobin:MCnc:Pt:Bld:Qn
What is my patient’s hemoglobin level?
41959-8:Walking speed:Vel:1W^mean:^Patient:Qn:Calculated

The LOINC Community Open, Nimble, Pragmatic
A Highly ‘Open Source’ Model • LOINC (the database) and RELMA (the
mapping program) are available freely worldwide for nearly any purpose
• Much work is done by volunteers • Content additions are end-user driven
10 new members per day 300+ new members per month
Translation Efforts
Downloads: ~1100/month
US Adoption A few key highlights
Consolidated Health Informatics
• CHI Goal: – Adopting interoperability standards for all US federal
health agencies
• Adopted LOINC as standard – Laboratory result names (2003) – Laboratory test order names (2006) – Meds: structured product labeling sections (2006) – Federally-required patient assessment instruments
with functioning and disability content (2007) • Same process that adopted ICF as a standard for functioning
and disability domain
Other Key US Adoptions • eLINCS
– Messaging standard for results delivery from LIS to an EHR
• NAACCR – Volumes II (Data Standards/Dictionary) and V (Path Lab e-Reporting)
• CDISC – Pharmaceutical research specs
• NCQA/HEDIS – Used by 90% of US health plans to measure quality
• HITSP – C80: vital signs, lab results, lab orders, genetic results, other results – IS92: newborn screening – C83: Patient assessment instruments (sections, questions, answers)
A Proposal for Effective use of ICF and LOINC Making complementary strengths productive
General Observations • No computer-interpretable version of ICF • Links with other vocabularies (UMLS, SNOMED)
don’t address qualified codes • Several ICF item collections
– Full version, short version, ICF-CY, ICF core sets, more…
• Challenge: ICF classification blends several observation question/answer pairs into 1 code – d410.1302 (changing basic body position) is really 4
“observations”
Goals • Send a person (or population)’s ICF
classification using same machinery as other health data – To reach ICF’s goals, you need to share data
• Maximize strengths of each terminology (minimize duplication of effort)
• Be informed by real world use – Need some interested parties!
• Facilitate addressing challenges in ICF use – Relationship to standardized assessments and clinical
measures
Original Option 1 • Simplest Approach: One LOINC code
– NNNN-N:Functioning Classification:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF – Expected “answer” in OBX-5 would be a ICF classification
• Problems with Simplest Approach – Still have blending of question/answer in OBX-5 – No indications of sets
Original Option 2 • Full LOINC Modeling including panels for
ICF Sets • Example: d420 – Transferring oneself
– N-N:Transferring oneself.Performance:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF – N-N:Transferring oneself.Capacity:Imp:^Patient:Pt:Ord:ICF
– Expected “answers” in OBX-5 would be the ICF qualifiers
0 – No setup or physical help from staff
1 – Setup help only
2 – One person physical assist
3 – Two+ person physical assist
8 – ADL acBvity itself did not occur during enBre 7 days
Original Option 2 • Problems with this approach
– Labor intensive • Each ICF component + qualifier combination
would be a different LOINC code (assessing different attributes)
• Keeping up with sets would be very difficult
– Some modeling challenges (e.g. anatomy) – Negotiating IP issues
New Inspiration
Clinical Genomics Model
Further Inspiration
HL7 CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments
• Specifies a document package representing the full assessment “form”
• For each observation/answer, enables concurrent transmission of: – Model of Use (LOINC)
• Exact measurement, as on the assessment
– Model of Meaning (SNOMED, ICF) [optional] • Representation of the conceptual assertion in another
(standard) terminology/classification
– Supporting Clinical Observations (LOINC, SNOMED) [optional]
• Data from the EHR that supports the assessment decision

Benefits of Nested Model • Uses HL7-LOINC messaging framework while minimizing
redundant modeling • Accommodates ‘meta-data’ about the result package • Flexes to accommodate large or small sets of ICF codes • Enables explicit connection between ICF classification
and supporting clinical data • Accommodates sending alternate identifiers (e.g. UMLS
or SNOMED) for ICF components • Could also use the ICF classification result panel in
another context – nested under a regular clinical observation to convey the
higher level interpretation of that result
Next Steps • Looking for collaborators with live
systems that have a need to exchange ICF classifications electronically – And want to used established messaging
standards
