Hi GPC-DEV,
I had to drop off the call to make a LOINC equivalence group call led by our 
colleagues at Indiana (Dan Vreeman and Katie Allen).
https://loinc.org/groups/

As that call developed I then learned relevant to our discussion today of how 
to manage different note types across GPC sites
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MFWLqzMfuGQfroJRqOpCHZk93RD-VvwZ3rWzFJuQnwc/edit
https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/431

that LOINC has this
https://loinc.org/document-ontology/ with 5 dimensions and is supposedly "used 
worldwide in HL7's CDA standard".

Ideally there would be a relationship somewhere in Cerner, Cattails, and Epic 
that let's us crosswalk our note titles authored in that EHR or blowing in from 
ancillaries or other systems that do link to this LOINC ontology coding scheme 
that on cursory glance might somehow be coded when the documents go outbound as 
a CDA.

See Kris' work in  https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/573 
and the note type volumes sorted 
https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/attachment/ticket/573/Note%20Types%20by%20Encounter%20Type.xlsx
 ).

An example would be a physician writing a history and physical in a nursing 
facility
34116-4

LP173418-7

34116-4

LP173198-5

And then it seems there are separate mappings to the Subject Matter Domain.

Otherwise, the work to map to the five dimensional ontology is possible but 
non-trivial because some info is in the title but others in the author and 
location which may be hard to determine as least at my first 15 minute glance.

Jim Campbell/Scott Campbell/Jim McClay at Nebraska may be already in this space 
based on their HL7 and lab/path work.

Others from the Regenstrief group may know who's doing this best nationally or 
if the bread crumb is there somewhere for at least certain note types.
