• Brief description of project:

This project will define and bring to ballot an implementation guide for querying for and retrieving documents using the dimensions of and values from the LOINC Clinical Document Ontology. We will provide implementation guidance that defines the standardized query and retrieval syntax to use to interact with LOINC encoded clinical documents.

Additionally, as part of this effort, we will refine the structure of the referenced LOINC Clinical Document Ontology to position it for use as a national standard in the US. The revisions to the existing ontology will be to harmonize in document types in use by US Military Healthcare organizations.
