Cumulus Library LOINC

An installation of the LOINC® ontology. Part of the SMART on FHIR Cumulus Project

For more information, browse the documentation.

Usage

You can install this module by running pip install cumulus-library-loinc.

This will add a loinc target to cumulus-library.

The contents of this dataset are described at the LOINC website. You will need to register an account on their website to use this data. When you build this study, you'll need to provide your user and password as custom options. Your build command should look like this:

cumulus-library build -t loinc --loinc_user your_username --loinc_password your_password [any other cli agurments]

You can, if you prefer, create environment variables to hold this data. We'll check for the prescence of LOINC_USER and LOINC_PASSWORD if the CLI arguments are not provided.

Note: This study is explicitly namespaced in its own schema, loinc. Make sure your database is not using this schema for another use. Do not create tables inside this schema by another means.

Tables

We are currently inserting a subset of Loinc tables, focused on Cumulus use cases:

• The LOINC core table, and its associated mapping table for older versions
• The group tables (see the groups page for usage caveats)
• The consumer names of medications
• The document ontology
• The lab order value set
