Order Panel Components in LOINC v2.26

While implementing the LOINC update in our Healthcare Data Dictionary, two panels were found to have deprecated LOINCs as result components.

They are:

Panel 54048-4 HEDIS 2009 Codes to identify group A Streptococcus tests (CWP-D)

Component 11475-1 Deprecated Microorganism identified: Prid: Pt: XXX: Nom: Culture

Superceded_by component 6463-4 Bacteria identified in Unspecified specimen by Culture

Components:
20993-2 Deprecated Chlamydia trachomatis rRNA: ACnc: Pt: XXX: Ord: Probe
use 4993-2 Chlamydia trachomatis rRNA ACnc Pt XXX Ord Probe

16602-5 Deprecated Chlamydia trachomatis rRNA: ACnc: Pt: Urine: Ord: Probe

23908-7 Deprecated Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA: ACnc: Pt: XXX: Ord: Probe
use 5028-6 Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA ACnc Pt XXX Ord Probe
Perhaps there is a querying link in the Access database not functioning?

The HEDIS panels in LOINC represent what is in the HEDIS publications, including deprecated terms. The HEDIS group is aware that they have been deprecated and will at some point in the future remove them from their documents.
