LOINC
Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, and CodesLOINC® (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is the universal standard for identifying health measurements, observations, and documents. When used in conjunction with exchange standards such as HL7 version 2 or FHIR, LOINC’s universal observation identifiers are an essential ingredient for sharing and understanding clinical and laboratory data from many sources.
From 2006 to 2019, Dr. Vreeman was the Director, LOINC and Health Data Standards with the Regenstrief Institute, Inc. and the inaugural Regenstrief–McDonald Scholar in Data Standards at the Indiana University School of Medicine. In those roles, he led the development of LOINC, an open vocabulary standard for health measurements, observations and documents that is now used in more than 185 countries.
