Clinical

The combined date and time value associated with a LOINC-coded clinical observation or laboratory result. Used in clinical data systems to precisely record when a standardized diagnostic measurement occurred, supporting accurate sequencing of lab results and clinical observations in patient records.

The Drug Enforcement Administration registration number linked to a LOINC-coded record, typically associated with controlled substance lab testing or prescribing contexts. Used to connect standardized clinical observation codes with the regulated provider credentials required for controlled substance ordering and reporting compliance.

The date of patient death recorded in association with a LOINC-coded clinical observation or encounter. Used in clinical data warehouses and mortality reporting systems to correlate standardized lab or diagnostic results with patient outcomes, supporting quality measurement and population health analytics.

The insurance deductible dollar amount applied to a claim line containing a LOINC-coded laboratory or diagnostic service. Used in claims adjudication systems to record patient cost-sharing obligations for specific lab tests identified by standardized LOINC codes, supporting benefit administration and EOB reporting.

The calendar date on which a LOINC code record was marked as deleted or retired within the clinical terminology database. Used in lab and diagnostic systems to track when a standardized observation identifier was removed from active use, maintaining accurate audit trails for code lifecycle management.

A flag indicating whether a LOINC code record has been retired or removed from active use within the clinical terminology system. Used in lab and diagnostic data management to distinguish active observation identifiers from deprecated codes, preventing use of invalid codes in new clinical orders or results reporting.

The human-readable text description associated with a specific LOINC code, providing a standardized long or short name for the clinical observation or laboratory test. Used across EHR and lab information systems to display meaningful test names while maintaining machine-readable code-based interoperability.

Supplementary information associated with a LOINC-coded clinical observation, providing additional context beyond the standard code description. Used in clinical data systems to capture granular attributes of a laboratory or diagnostic result, such as specimen type, method, or result interpretation details linked to the LOINC identifier.

The date a patient was discharged from an inpatient facility, recorded in association with LOINC-coded clinical observations from that encounter. Used in clinical data warehouses to correlate inpatient lab results and diagnostic measurements with the episode of care timeline for outcomes analysis and quality reporting.

The deadline date by which a LOINC-coded laboratory test or clinical observation result is expected or a related payment obligation must be fulfilled. Used in clinical workflow and revenue cycle systems to track pending lab orders or outstanding financial obligations tied to specific standardized diagnostic services.

The length of time associated with a LOINC-coded clinical observation, representing the period over which a measurement was collected or a test was performed. Used in clinical data systems to capture time-bound attributes of diagnostic results, such as 24-hour urine collections or continuous monitoring observations.

The date on which a LOINC code becomes active and valid for use in clinical observation reporting and lab result documentation. Used in terminology management systems to control when newly published or updated LOINC codes may be applied in EHR orders, lab interfaces, and interoperability data exchanges.

The electronic mail address associated with a contact or submitter linked to a LOINC-coded clinical observation record. Used in clinical data management systems to facilitate communication regarding specific lab test results, terminology questions, or data quality issues tied to standardized LOINC-coded observations.

A flag designating that a LOINC-coded laboratory test or clinical observation was ordered or resulted under emergency or stat conditions. Used in lab information and clinical data systems to prioritize processing and reporting of critical diagnostic results, supporting urgent clinical decision-making and patient safety workflows.

The date on which a LOINC code's active use period concludes or a LOINC-coded clinical observation's validity expires. Used in terminology management and clinical data systems to define the retirement date of standardized observation identifiers, ensuring accurate code applicability during result reporting and data exchange.

The time at which a LOINC-coded clinical observation or laboratory collection period concludes. Used in clinical data systems to capture the precise endpoint of time-sensitive diagnostic measurements, such as timed specimen collections or continuous monitoring intervals, paired with the end date for complete temporal documentation.

Indicates the active or inactive enrollment state of a LOINC code within a clinical data system. Tracks whether the standardized laboratory or clinical observation code is currently enabled for use in ordering, resulting, or reporting workflows across the organization.

Identifies the user, system, or interface that originally added a LOINC code record to the clinical data repository. Used for audit trail and data governance purposes to trace the source of laboratory observation code mappings in EHR or laboratory information systems.

Captures the ethnicity classification associated with a patient-level LOINC observation record. Used in clinical and population health analytics to stratify laboratory and diagnostic result data by patient demographic characteristics for outcomes research and health equity reporting.

Records the date on which a LOINC code mapping or local code association becomes invalid for use in clinical ordering or results reporting. Used to manage the lifecycle of standardized laboratory and clinical observation codes within a health system's master data catalog.
