[object Object],General Form of Clinical LOINC Names 02/07/11 <component> : <property> : <timing> : <system> : <scale> : <method> The first 5 parts are mandatory, but method is optional.

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],02/07/11 The characteristic or attribute of the component that is measured, evaluated, or observed.

Timing ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],02/07/11 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],02/07/11 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],02/07/11 Non-patient values for this axis should be used with care, or combinatorial explosion could result

Method ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],02/07/11 Procedure used to make the measurement or observation.
