5.2 Terminology Scenarios - Summary

The following table list data elements used in clinical and laboratory areas related to the relevant scenarios, and the recommended standard in each of these scenarios.
Table 5. Summary of recommended terminologies in the data elements of relevant scenarios

DATA ELEMENT	SCENARIO
	Bio-surveillance(human/animal)	Lab reporting (micro, infect diseases)	CIMI
Vital signs Name (Observation name)	LOINC	---	SNOMED CT
Vital signs Result (Observation value)	SNOMED CT	---	SNOMED CT
Laboratory Orders	LOINC	LOINC	---
Laboratory Test Results Name (Identifier)	LOINC	LOINC	LOINC
Laboratory Test Results no Quantitative (Value)	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT
Specimens (Specimen Types, Specimen Source Types, …)	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT
Animal Species/Breeds	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT
Procedures (Laboratory Methods)	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT	SNOMED CT

And the following pie-chart represents the different usage of terminologies that has been described.

Figure 5. Current usage of SNOMED CT and LOINC
Using these scenarios, we have developed guidelines that describe the real-world usage of SNOMED CT and LOINC together.
To do so, use cases and also guidelines involved in terminology implementation in clinical lab environment have been scanned in order to consider current usage of LOINC and SNOMED CT.
