I noticed you have a set of instructions for configuring MedDRA.  But how would we add LOINC?

The example for the UNII dictionary only shows two columns.  For LOINC it needs several variables whose values confer uniqueness to the row. For example, a row-uniqueness is usually determined by the combination of LOINC NUM, COMPONENT, PROPERTY, SYSTEM and METHOD.

Thanks

Hi Joyce,

There is a free RESTful web service for this which can easily be implemented. See http://xml4pharmaserver.com/WebServices/LOINC_webservices.html
Also the NLM has a similar RESTful web service. See: https://medlineplus.gov/connect/service.html
I don't think it makes sense to implement that as a physical file: there are over 73,000 LOINC codes.

Want a demo?

Let’s Talk.

We're eager to share and ready to listen.
