How to get a mapping for the loinc codes for the notes title?
1 Like
Your question is quite vague. Which kind of notes are you trying to map?
I assume you are desiring LOINC codes from the Document Ontology? Kindly clarify.

That’s up to you to decide: how you want to map to LOINC.
Are you from a EHR or other HIT vendor where you have terms in a data dictionary where you can map to the LOINC codes and then use them in messages?
Most people will have their list of terms and use the search LOINC functionality on the LOINC website or RELMA to map their terms to LOINC. Others will pay a consultant to perform the mapping and others yet will contract with a terminology vendor for mapping and maintenance support.
However, it’s unclear from your post, how you intend to map and use LOINC.
Also additional context around terms may be needed. For example is “ANESTHESIOLOGY <CONSULT NOTE - ANESTHESIOLOGY>” for all consult notes in your system or is it only for outpatient notes? It’ll make a difference as to which LOINC might be mapped: LOINC 77403-4 Anesthesiology Consult note versus LOINC 34749-2 Anesthesiology Outpatient Consult note
Are "ANESTHESIOLOGY <CONSULT NOTE - ANESTHESIOLOGY>”, “CONSULT <CONSULT NOTE - ANESTHESIOLOGY>” and “CONSULT NOTE - ANESTHESIOLOGY” all the same or all different? They have different, but overlapping descriptions.

Hi,
For your concern, i think you might need some notes before you pitch up some LOINC Code:
LOINC code is based on multi-axis dimention for its definition.
Therefore, for you to wonder how to use LOINC code for clinical document title and/or sections, you should take a look at Document Ontology link that Andrea shared above. And here is some explaination:
- For document ontology, LOINC code is based on: Subject Matter Domain, Role, Settings, Type of Service, and Kind of document
- You should clarify at least 3 of these 5 axis before pitch a code.
For example: With ANESTHESIOLOGY - which is Subject Matter Domain or Method, if:
- Settings= All ( => apply for all healthcare settings); And Kind of Document = Notes => You can pitch: LOINC 34750-0 Anesthesiology Note
- Settings= Outpatient; and Kind of Document = Note => You can pitch: LOINC 84060-3 Anesthesiology Outpatient Note
- Settings= All, and Role = Nurse => You can pitch: 83567-8
And so on…
Hope this help,
PhongNh
