In recent months I've had some discussions with Dan Vreeman at Regenstrief about the need to be able to group or aggregate "clinically equivalent" LOINC codes (however "clinically equivalent" is defined - mol and mass is one obvious case). The original impetus for our discussion isn't being pursued on my end at the moment, but Dan did say that Regenstrief is embarking on an effort of their own to develop the capability for doing something like this. I am sure that they would be interested in hearing about use cases that are being identified that need this capability (and also about anyone with an interest in helping them with getting the work done).
