Re: Clinical Tests value set. This value set is Clinical LOINC codes minus radiology codes with multiple classes excluded for codes that do not fit the conceptual idea of clinical test. The binding is an "Additional" binding or "Preferred" type and is intended to provide an idea od what a "clinical test" is as there has been much discussion over the past year about is "fuzziness" as a type of test (or result).

Gay noted that Al and Carmela have noted codes that do not seem appropropriate in the set and is hoping that Al and Carmela will provide that feedback and she will adjust the set accordingly. Preferably this will be done before ballot.

11/22/202: Gay and Al Taylor revised set to remove codes not considered clinical tests

NA

28-Nov-24: Yes

Gay gave the heads up that the name part qualifier concepts/terms are different in CDA vs FHIR and do not quite align. FHIR trackers have been placed (PA WG) to address this in the future.

For now (in both standards) "Name to use" is adequately represented.
