Hello Daya,

Allow me to respond on behalf of Jamalynne. We do not anticipate a new workshop in Denver. Currently we have LOINC Conferences four times per year. Two are laboratory-focused and held in Indianapolis. The other two have a clinical focus and are in Salt Lake City.

Our next event is next week in Indianapolis. You can find more information on our website. Please let us know if you need any more information.

Thanks Tim,

I also like to know more about IMO mapping . Are there any websites that have online WEBINAR or reading material that will be useful to me.

Thanks,
Daya

Hi Daya - IMO is a commercial company that offers terminology products and services. They are not affiliated with Regenstrief or LOINC except that one of their staff members serves on the LOINC Committee. I recommend you contact IMO directly.
