Abstract

To unambiguously encode the semantic meaning of laboratory tests, the LOINC terminology is widely used. With regard to the constantly changing and diverse requirements of the laboratory domain, LOINC's long-established content model and related publications are reviewed conjointly, revealing some obstacles for flexible adaptation in terms of new or varying application needs as well as issues regarding the comprehensive reusability of lab data. In a concise overview, four specific limitations are identified that require adaptation or the usage of other terminologies.
