[object Object],General Form of Clinical LOINC Names <component> : <property> : <timing> : <system> : <scale> : <method> The first 5 parts are mandatory, but method is optional. Subparts of the six axes are created as needed in specific subject areas. 8331-1 Body Temperature :TEMP :PT :MOUTH :QN

Summary of the six primary axes (clinical) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Kind of Property ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The characteristic or attribute of the component that is measured, evaluated, or observed.

Timing ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The interval of time over which the observation or measurement was made.

System ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The system (context) or body part about which the observation was made.

Patient, Control, or Donor (as part of system) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Non-patient values for this axis should be used with care, or combinatorial explosion could result

Scale ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Method ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Procedure used to make the measurement or observation.
