What is LOINC?

LOINC code development

Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®) is a universal vocabulary for identifying clinical and laboratory observations.

contains different codes for each test, measurement or observation that has a clinically different meaning. To do that, the LOINC codes distinguish a given observation (ordered/informed test, survey question, clinical document) in six dimensions or ‘axis’: Component, Property, Time, System, Scale and Method.
