Recommendation:

To identify the requested observation/test/battery LOINC should be used as the standard coding system.

Alternative 1:

The SNOMED CT expression associated with a LOINC code may be used.

Alternative 2:

SNOMED CT concepts from the

Concept
t15220000 Laboratory test
or
Concept
t363787002 Observable entity
hierarchies may be used.

Example 2: Laboratory Orders in National Animal Health Laboratory Network

The NAHLN uses LOINC codes to defining the test or panel/battery ordered as the Universal Service Identifier (OBR-4). In the NAHLN, new tests or panels that do not have an assigned LOINC Code, are identified with an alternative or local identifier.
