Abstract
Current efforts in modernizing health system are bringing great possibility for secondary use of medical data. To further support these efforts, medical institutions worldwide are fostering use of electronic terminologies for clinical care and data management. One of the challenges in sharing medical data between medical institutions is to assure existence of semantic interoperability among exchanging information systems. To this end, we present here a novel method for automated validation of locally used LOINC concepts. This semi- automated approach will allow medical institutions to check if their laboratory terms are correctly mapped to LOINC concepts, thus assuring semantic interoperability required for secondary use of medical data.
