The document provides information about an upcoming Laboratory LOINC Workshop in Chicago, Illinois. It includes an agenda for the workshop covering topics such as the origins of LOINC, using the RELMA mapping tool, searching and mapping local terms to LOINC codes, and hands-on practice mapping terms. The workshop will be led by Daniel Vreeman from Indiana University and Clem McDonald from the National Library of Medicine.

Setting Search Limits! include Trial, Deprecated or Discouraged LOINC codes with returned terms !
LOINC Term Status! Trial! ! as the concept and associated attributes may change. Concept is experimental in nature. Use with caution Discouraged! ! mappings to this concept are discouraged although Concept is not recommended for current use. New existing mappings may continue to be valid in ! context. Deprecated! Concept is retired and should not be used, but it is retained in LOINC for historical purposes.
Include Deprecated LOINC Terms! Can’t map to a deprecated term! Warning before mapping to discouraged term! Discouraged LOINC Terms appear as an inverted triangle! Deprecated LOINC Terms appear as strikethrough text with a “Do Not” symbol!
LOINC Hierarchies – Class Tree! Three top-level branches ! Tree Navigation Buttons!
Before Class Restriction! Most terms have class of “CHAL” ! Large number of candidate terms !
Hierarchies! Restrict eligible tests to non-challenge chemistry tests only !
Following Class Restriction! Only Non-Challenge Chemistry tests returned!
A Reminder About Search Limits! Indicates that you’ve got something set over here !
Component Hierarchy! “right click” for context menu with “view details” option! Show the LOINC Codes associated with these components !
Details Screen: LOINC Part!
Show Associated LOINCs!
Hierarchy Wrap-up! All trees operate the same way! All grids operate the same way! Tree is searchable ! Combine tree limits with others! “Mulligan” button!
Search Hints and Tips! Zero hit keywords are ignored! !(may need to rephrase)! ! Common causes of Zero results! !Too many keywords! !Limits and keyword contradictions! !Local term weirdness! ! Units are GREAT discriminators!
RELMA’s Auto Mapper! Starting with our best guesses may save you time!
What Does It Do?! Batch processes local term "le to get N- closest candidate LOINCs! ! Uses words and units from local terms! ! Produces a ranked list for your review!
Recent Improvements! Faster. Way faster.! Better clean-up routine! New specimen guesser! Better local to LOINC word "nder! Break ties with frequency data!
