OMOP Domain for Assessment Scales (LOINC Survey Class, SNOMED Staging and Scales)

@Christian_Reich, @MPhilofsky -

Currently any assessment scale that is encoded in source data using a LOINC code will go to the Measurement table, and any assessment encoded using a SNOMED concept id will go to the Observation table.

Would it be possible to select a domain for all assessments, and assign concepts from both LOINC and SNOMED to the same domain?

Best,

Piper

You bet.

A secondary issue is that the concepts for the assessments themselves are both flagged as standard when the same assessment is in both SNOMED and LOINC.

Here are a few examples of the assessment scale/ instrument concepts:
