Introduction to Interoperability, Standards and the Role of the Public Health Domain expert

The interoperability of data, and delivery of a consistent level of data quality, are critical factors in the National Digital Health Strategy – both for quality of immediate care, and for the development of longer-term health strategies. This is the first of a three-part webinar series looking at interoperability and clinical terminologies, with a particular focus on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a key standard for interoperable data in Australia.

This two-part presentation 1)provides content on: the History of LOINC as an organization and a community of users; a definition of LOINC and LOINC code basics; the LOINC concept model; the six LOINC axeses; and resources for learning more about LOINC. 2) an overview of a typical mapping project using LOINC.
