Hi I am having an error of Invalid System for all my definitions when using LOINC. Here is an example of the error and the definition I've made:

What am I doing wrong? Or shall I ignore the 100+ errors like this one?

Remove the '/' from the end of your system.

I am getting a bunch of warnings as all codes included in http://loinc.org/vs/loinc-rsna-radiology-playbook aren't available It goes for the codes starting with 97340-4 to 98036-7 (they are located at the end of the valueset)

I believe this is because LOINC needs to be updated to version 2.70. I'm working on that now, and I'll post again when it's ready.

@Diana_Ovelgoenne LOINC has now been updated to version 2.70. So the codes that you are looking for should all be included. However, the loinc-rsna-radiology-playbook value set isn't part of the LOINC distribution, and it needs to be updated separately from the packages. So that is going to take a little longer to have updated and loaded on the server.

@Rob Hausam Getting QA errors on LOINC code that appears valid to me:

The code "97509-4" is not valid in the system http://loinc.org; The code provided (http://loinc.org#97509-4) is not valid in the value set 'All codes known to the system' (from http://tx.fhir.org/r4) for 'http://loinc.org#97509-4'

I'm going to check on this and the SNOMED issues, Saul. Both of them should already be available.

@Saul Kravitz Sorry it took me a while to actually get to this, but the 97509-4 code does validate correctly on tx.fhir.org (LOINC 2.71 is loaded as the default). Have you tried clearing your txcache? If that doesn't work, we can investigate further.

I'm seeing QA errors with valid LOINC codes.
The IG is at http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-COVID19Library-ig/branches/master/index.html
the list of LOINC codes that are erring is:
98732-1
98733-9
98734-7
98846-9
98847-7
99314-7
99596-9
99597-7
99772-6
99773-4
99774-2
LA32887-4
I've cleared the TX Cache and double checked all of the codes for accuracy. I am unsure how to resolve these errors. Any help is appreciated.

@Nathan Davis On a quick spot check of some (not all) of the codes it seems they were added in LOINC 2.72 - and currently tx.fhir.org is on 2.71. We don't have a defined update schedule or dedicated resources for this now. It's mostly operating on the "squeaky wheel" rule - so asking here as you did is probably the best way to get it to happen. I'll look at getting LOINC updated this morning.

@Rob Hausam Thank you!

@Nathan Davis LOINC is now updated on tx.fhir.org to version 2.72. Hopefully that will take care of your issues.

@Rob Hausam Thank you! That did the trick.

@Rob Hausam did this update include LOINC answer codes? I have a couple that are still erring.

view this post on Zulip Rob Hausam (Apr 06 2022 at 15:40):

Yes, it should have included everything in the release (of the parts that we support - which includes the answer lists).

What are the errors and the codes that are erroring?

and this code as well

Where did those codes come from? I don't find them when I search the answer lists with the LOINC browser, either.

view this post on Zulip Rob Hausam (Apr 06 2022 at 15:56):

Those codes aren't present in the answer list file in the LOINC distribution (for either 2.72 or 2.71).

I'll have to find look and find out where I got them from.
