General

I want to make a flowsheet for loinc 96777-8 - AHC HRSN, with answers/observation/results, that would state - patient screened -for patients that completed the questionnaire, or patient declined screening . I looked through the 2.79 version, did not find anything. Any suggestions?

Hi Laura,
Please submit for an answer that will have/ include these 2 statements, and to what concept you are looking to have them attached. Add Expedited in the submission title. We will create and send it for you to use within specific time frame. But this won’t make it public in the LOINC DB until the next release in August 2025.
Thank you
Eza

Than you Eza. I am very new to LOINC. Could you guide me a little more as to what exactly I should be requesting. Right now our office uses the AHC HRSN- screening tool LOINC 96777-8. However patient completes this on paper. We would like to track patients “screened” and patients that “declined screening”. (For MIPS reporting) And this could be for any approved SDOH screening. In the past we used the WellRX screening tool- 93667-4
So the forms are paper and scanned into ehr.
I would like 2 LOINC codes, “screened” and “patient declined screening” as it relates to LOINC 96777-8 or if possible, any approved SDOH screening tool. I will educate myself more on the components of a LOINC code. If you could just tell me, by my description, which “approved LOINC submission templates” should I be looking at?
