Associating a reference set to a LOINC term.
Introduction
SUSAN M can you add the use case/reason for adding a LOINC term to a reference set?
Adding a LOINC code to a concept
We have already created the reference set concept (as a map refset) and also created the required asset in the asset library.
To add a LOINC ID follow the steps below
Step 1: Open the asset by selecting the "Open asset" button.
Step 2: Select the search tab and search for a concept. Then select the concept and return to the "Refset Editor" tab.
Step 3: Drag the concept onto the "Drop a new member here" spot. The concept will be added in a new row. Replace the (change this) with the LOINC ID.
Step 4: Type the LOINC - code and "|" LOINC long name. Select green check when finished.
The result is:
Using the Importing Function
A user can also create an excel spreadsheet with the columns of the refset e.g. in this case the excel spreadsheet would have a header of Term, Concept ID and Value. Where Term is the FSN of the SNOMED Concept, Concept ID is the SNOMED ID and Value is the <LOINC code> | <LOINC Long name>.
| Term | Concept ID | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Odor of exudate (observable entity) | 441210008 | 72288-4|Odor of Exudate from wound |
Step 1: Create the spreadsheet to import.
Step 2 & 3: Select file to import. Select import button.
Step 4: Import dialog box is presented with the contents to be imported. Select Import button and new row is added to refset. See screen shot below
