      Each of the LOINC concepts included in the value set ask a different type of question about tobacco use. The allowable answers for 68536-2 and 68535-4 are either yes or no. LOINC concept 11366-2 allows any narrative response.
      While the inquirer cites CMS138 as an example, this question is about use and function of the LOINC terminology. If the inquirer has additional questions about LOINC, we recommend those questions be directed to the Regenstreif Institute the organization responsible for maintaining the LOINC code set, or review the background information at www.loinc.org[loinc.org].

      I'd like to know if the LOINCS for value set 2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1278 are encompassing. I'm not clinical. I'm also a first time user and in need of where to post if this isn't the place.

      I want to know if 11366-2 encompasses the first 2 loincs listed below. And if not, how do they differ? We do not use this in our current product, and I need to add the functionality to meet CQM 138v1.

      68536-2 Have you used smokeless tobacco product in the last 30 days
      68535-4 Have you used tobacco in the last 30 days SAMHSA
      11366-2 History of tobacco use Narrative

      Any information is greatly appreciated!
      TIA
