Hi,
My name is Nirit Keren, and I am the Manager of Data Gathering and Genetic Monitoring from Labs at the Israeli Ministry of Health. We are currently implementing LOINC codes in our disease investigation processes. Not all lab codes are mapped and known to the workers who gather the data, which is why we need generic codes.
I have found a generic code for culture, but not for nucleic acid amplification (NAA). I would appreciate your help in identifying if there are generic codes for the following:
- Bacteria identified in Specimen by NAA
- Fungus identified in Specimen by NAA
- Parasite identified in Specimen by NAA
- Virus identified in Specimen by NAA
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG) [identification] in specimen
- Immunoglobulin G (IgM) [identification] in specimen
Due to time constraints, we are unable to wait for new codes to be created.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Nirit Keren
