Comment (by dconnolly):
Yes, that's the sort of think I was looking for. But...
I don't know many clinical researchers who could handle the first choice
it presents:
- LOINCCLASSTYPES
- LOINCPARTS
Below LOINCPARTS looks OK. And it seems to match CMH's labs on babel. It's
somewhat similar to the "GPC: Laboratory measurements" area, but where CMH
has Chemistry (LP31388-9), GPC has Chemistry non challenge tests (7786-9)
with over 500 children. So yes, the Bioportal ontology looks like a
worthwhile path to pursue.
The commonly used potassium code (2823-3) wasn't too hard to find, but the
label is kinda cryptic: "Potassium:SCnc:Pt:Ser/Plas:Qn". I wonder why they
didn't choose the synonym "Potassium [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma".
And I wonder if there's a straightforward way to get nicer labels like
that throughout.
