Confused about LOINC®? Here is some information that may be helpful.
Are you hearing about LOINC and wondering what it is? You’re not alone. Orchard Software posted a helpful four-part series on LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) on our blog, colLABoration. The series was designed to answer many of the questions that Orchard has been asked recently about what LOINC is, what it can do for your laboratory, how it affects Meaningful Use stages two and three, and how to implement it.
The series on LOINC is separated into four sections: History,The Rule – Why We Need LOINC, Understanding and Using the LOINC Database, and Populating your LIS with LOINC. We have combined the posts onto a single webpage for your convenience. Review the four-part LOINC series in its entirety.
What ARRA and Meaningful Use Mean to Laboratories
For those of you less familiar with, or who would like more information on, the ARRA stimulus package for healthcare information technology and meaningful use, here is a quick overview: Based on the criteria for Stage 1 of meaningful use, the single biggest issue facing laboratories regarding ARRA and meaningful use is EMR integration. Integration to the EMR will affect all labs, including POLs, hospitals, and reference laboratories. Your ability to integrate your laboratory to your facility’s EMR or your laboratory clients’ EMR systems will be the number one issue for the next couple of years. Learn more about what ARRA and meaningful use mean to laboratories.
