Comment (by nateapathy):
That's correct, and I think appropriate for the scope of this ticket.
Cerner doesn't map clinical terms to LOINC; those are most often captured
with SNOMED codes due to LOINC's limited non-lab application among our
clients. LOINC is almost always limited to lab-only tests, and does not
extend to other components of the chart. For example, we wouldn't ever see
age ranges (as we've discussed with GPC-Dev before) coded to LOINC in a
Cerner database. That mapping is do-able in i2b2, but falls outside the
scope of what this ticket is looking for.
