Comment (by nateapathy):
In reviewing the lab lead responsibilities, it appears CMH/Cerner is
responsible for driving this standardization. What is the status of the
UMN student who was working on a project around this?
Also, having looked through the documentation on tickets and emails that I
can find regarding this, I don't see any references to
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/LOINC, which is where we
derived our LOINC ontology from. They keep versions very up-to-date
(latest maintained version is from 5/28/14), and the Bioportal site has an
API that Lori Phillips at Partners has built an "i2b2 ontology builder"
application on top of. This avoids the issue mentioned above re:
downloading an Access database from REMLA every time we need to update the
hierarchy. Have other sites used the Bioportal ontology? Or am I missing
documentation on that investigation for GPC terms? And if not, would that
be a worthwhile path to pursue?
My final question is around the definition of "sufficiently usable" in the
description of this ticket, which seems opaque to me unless I am missing a
definition that the group decided upon earlier in the LOINC ontology
process.
