LOINC Mapping Advantages
The medicalvalues Data Mapper offers several unique benefits for
your LOINC mapping initiative. Learn more about the advantages of using the medicalvalues Data Mapper in the long term.
Save days of work
Enable an optimized mapping workflow for your team. Studies showed that using the medicalvalues Data Mapper for your LOINC Mapping projects is up to 4 times more efficient than manual approaches.
Long-term harmonization
For long-term benefits from harmonization approaches, you have to ensure that LOINC codes are always up-to-date. New laboratory procedures have to be added and existing ones have to be monitored. The medicalvalues Data Mapper ensures that you are always up-to-date with every new LOINC release.
High-quality mapping
As we are using a unique AI approach for mapping LOINC codes, we can reach a very high accuracy rate. Ensure that you and your customers use the same LOINC codes to build a reliable long-term foundation for harmonization in your laboratory and creating LOINC based catalogs.

Why is it completely free?
We believe that harmonized medical data is the foundation for offering better diagnostics for everyone. We support initiatives like LOINC or SNOMED CT and offer tools like the medicalvalues Data Mapper for free to accelerate healthcare interoperability.
If you are interested in extended integrations (API based) in your own system landscape and workflow processes along with other parts of the medicalvalues platform like our catalog functionality please contact us.
LOINC
Benefits of using LOINC
The Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®) standard offers a way for international harmonization of laboratory data. Find out more about the advantages of using it.
LOINC structure
A fully specified name of a test result or clinical observation has 5-6 main parts including: the name of the component or analyte measured, its property (substance concentration, mass, volume), the timing of the measurement, the type of sample (serum, urine, etc.), the scale of measurement (qualitative vs. quantitative, etc.), and the method (if relevant – RIA, Immune Blot, etc.). Further explanation can be found here.
Enhance compatibility
The usage of LOINC for your laboratory procedures is the foundation for your future customer experience. Enable your customers to know exactly what to order and support digital order entry processes. Offer a digital LOINC based catalog for attracting new customers and simplify the mapping when customers request tests from you. Across institutions and laboratories, LOINC enables comparability and order allocation for multiple laboratories.
Enable decision support
With the use of LOINC, you can simplify the adoption of laboratory decision support systems like the medicalvalues diagnostic intelligence. By this, you can benefit from advanced knowledge management and gain medical insights from your data. Support your physicians and customers by recommending and ordering the optimal diagnostic tests with LOINC as the essential basis.

Off-the-Shelf or Custom Software – Which Option Makes Sense for Clinics and Laboratories?
The IT landscape in healthcare faces numerous challenges, including growing complexity, evolving processes, and the need for regional networking. These demands can only partially be met with existing (often outdated) software, creating a need for new, modern solutions. This raises a recurring question: Off-the-shelf, custom, or a middle ground – which IT strategy is worth pursuing and when?
The Diagnostician: Dr. House as a New Career Model?
Have you ever watched those medical dramas where the heroes in white coats are handling lab work one minute and performing a CT scan the next? As a doctor, I always found this amusing, as in reality, you would need a laboratory physician for the former and a radiologist for the latter. Yet, recently, we’re hearing more and more about a new role – the “Diagnostician” – which seems to blend these fields. What does this entail, and does it make sense?
