Mapping local laboratory interface terms to LOINC at a German university hospital using RELMA V.5: a semi-automated approach

摘要

ObjectiveLogical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) mapping of laboratory data is often a question of the effort of mapping compared with the benefits of the structure achieved. The new LOINC mapping assistant RELMA (version 2011) has the potential to reduce the effort required for semi-automated mapping. We examined quality, time effort, and sustainability of such mapping.
