The LOINC-SNOMED Mappings report displays the test code system and test code system and test code, description, result code system and result code, disease name, and LOINC test code and SNOMED result code mappings. Authorized users can edit or delete the mapping values.
To configure LOINC-SNOMED mappings, select ELR - CDC Reporting > LOINC-SNOMED Mappings from the menu. The LOINC/SNOMED Mappings page opens. Select a mapping name from the Select a Mapping to Edit drop-down list. The information for the mapping displays on the page. The list can be sorted by clicking on the column header. Under the list of current mappings, the number of mappings displayed on the page is listed (for example, Showing 1 to 2 of 2 entries) and on the right side of that line are previous and forward arrows; click the arrows as needed to display additional mappings.
To add a new mapping table, click the New Mapping Table button on the LOINC/SNOMED Mappings page. See the Add a New Mapping Table section below for more information.
To add a new entry, click the New Entry or Import button, depending on your method of adding the information. See the Add/Import New Entry section below for more information.
To export the list of current mappings, click the Export button at the top of the page.
