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

Vocabulary Users

@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

Correction -

It’s the opposite.

LOINC survey concepts are currently in the Observation domain and SNOMED staging and scale concepts in the Measurement domain.

Ouch. Thanks for catching that.

Can you drop examples?

#4

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:

Hi @Christian_Reich -

Where can I learn more about the PPI vocabulary - which organization curates it, etc?

That would be our wiki documentation, section Vocabularies. Specifically here: Vocab. PPI · OHDSI/Vocabulary-v5.0 Wiki · GitHub

Now, surveys, scales, etc. are a mess. Survey subgroup is working on sustainable solutions, so we probably don’t want to introduce anything semi-baked before we have a model (e.g., should it be measurement or observation? standard or non-standard? if non-standard what maps to what?..).

Thanks @aostropolets.
This is helpful.

Who do you recommend reaching out to regarding participation in the workgroup?

Best,
Piper
