Standards Resources for COVID-19

As part of the global efforts to create and provide the most up to date terminology in support of the Coronavirus outbreak, the Health Terminology Community is continually working with SNOMED International and the LOINC® team at Regenstrief Institute.

The information and resources below can help keep you up to date and learn about and the latest COVID-19 content updates for LOINC, pCLOCD, SNOMED CT® International and Canadian editions.

LOINC and pCLOCD

Creating LOINC terms and other resources related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 testing, documentation and reporting became a primary focus during the LOINC June 2020 release. All of the LOINC terms related to SARS-CoV-2/ COVID-19 content can be found on the single source LOINC page which includes both release and pre-release terms. This page is updated as soon as new terms or term edits are made, thus checking back frequently for the latest content is recommended.  

In addition, there is a separate page to provide guidance for choosing LOINCs for SARS-CoV-2 testing.

All of the LOINC laboratory test codes requested or identified by Canadian implementers are now published in the July 2020 pCLOCD release. If your SARS-CoV-2 LOINC term for testing is not listed and you would like for it to be included in the next pCLOCD release, please submit a Request for Change via Infoway’s Request Management System.

If you need new concepts, please submit a request for change.
