Mapping Department of Defense laboratory results to Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC).

The Department of Defense (DoD) has used a common application, Composite Health Care System (CHCS), throughout all DoD facilities. However, the master files used to encode patient data in CHCS are not identical across DoD facilities. The encoded data is thus not interoperable from one DoD facility to another. To enable data interoperability in the next-generation system, CHCS II, and for the DoD to exchange laboratory results with external organizations such as the Veterans Administration (VA), the disparate master file codes for laboratory results are mapped to Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC) wherever possible. This paper presents some findings from our experience mapping DoD laboratory results to LOINC.

Managing vocabulary mapping services.

The efficient management and maintenance of large-scale and high-quality vocabulary mapping is an operational challenge. The 3M Health Information Systems (HIS) Healthcare Data Dictionary (HDD) group developed an information management system to provide controlled mapping services, resulting in improved efficiency and quality maintenance.

The evolution of tools and processes for data mapping.

The 3M Healthcare Data Dictionary (HDD) group provides vocabulary mapping services for the Department of Defense (DoD). The process to manage changes in these mappings, the so-called "delta process," is complex and requires the exchange and management of large amounts of data. To aid in this process, the 3M HDD group has created and refined a vocabulary Mapping Environment (ME).
