Canadian lab terminology implementers can now update to the latest pan-Canadian LOINC Observation Code Database release (R05.17.00_2.73).
Informed by the latest available LOINC release
v2.73,
processing requests for change, community guidance and input, this release contains new (32) and edited LOINC terms (12) in English and French. It is available for review and implementation accessible from
Terminology Gateway
.
You can learn more about all the changes in the
pCLOCD release notes.
We continue to expand the
Canadian French translation of LOINC terms
with each release and this includes translating new terms and updating existing revised terms. Thank you to the Translation working group for their ongoing support and dedication to this valuable work.
We also thank the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) for their continued efforts on updating the MIS Service Activity Reporting attribute for pCLOCD codes. To find out more about MIS Standards, visit
