LOINC Support and Results Grouping

The Orders module supports the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes universal coding for test results (known as LOINC®) . This feature allows you to see test results for the same type of test on the same line even if the tests were performed at two different labs. By way of example, if one lab says "White Blood Count" in the results message and one returns "WBC" in the results message, the LOINC system has a standard ID for test result components that brings them together on the same line in the Results flow sheet. Important: When viewing results in the Orders module on the results flowsheet, they are grouped per a user defined preference: Lab Short description,Lab Long description or NextGen description. If results are grouped by NextGen description, the result names can be either the clinical name, the consumer name or the long common name. When the NextGen description is used, then what name gets used to group the results is determined by the following rules: 1) Does the

LOINC® Data Set

LOINC® Data Set LOINC® Data Set The LOINC™ Codes data set displays a list of Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) codes associated with Procedure codes. The LOINC code is required for Quality Reporting. The LOINC Codes data set enables you to review which codes require LOINC code and allows you to add new procedure codes to associate with the LOINC code. Note: You need to import LOINC codes using the Orders Management Console accessed through the application launcher. For more information on how to import LOINC codes, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Orders Module User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR. In run-time template, order a procedure that you have associated with the LOINC code. In the Order Management template, when you indicate the status of the order such as Performed, Obtained, and so on, then the LOINC code is saved to a hidden field.
