Hi Anil, We started receiving these types of concepts recently in the last few months. We created some already and going forward we will be working proactively on a model to capture this information. To answer your question, yes we are interested in implementing them in LOINC and after a preliminary discussion internally you can start submitting them. Stay tuned for further information .
Thank you much,
Eza

Hi Eza, Our partners at CIHI are working on Social History and for the CA-CDI they are capturing this type of Observation.
