Looking at https://fhir.loinc.org/Questionnaire/93025-5 I see

linkId": "112334",
      "code": [ {
        "system": "http://loinc.org",
        "code": "32624-9",
        "display": "Which race(s) are you?"
      } ],
      "text": "Which race(s) are you?",
      "type": "choice",
      "repeats": false,
      "answerOption": [ {
        "valueCoding": {
          "system": "http://loinc.org",
          "code": "LA6156-9",
          "display": "Asian"
        }
      }, {
...

... which seems to say that only one choice is allowed (repeats is false). But this is a select-multiple question ("race(s)") by design. Is this an error in LOINC or am I misunderstanding the FHIR semantics?

I think that should allow more than one choice. In the SDOH CC IG, the example Questionnaire instance for PRAPARE (SDOHCC Questionnaire PRAPARE instance: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-sdoh-clinicalcare/Questionnaire-SDOHCC-QuestionnairePRAPARE.html) allows more than one choice (repeats is true):
"linkId" : "/93043-8/32624-9",
"code" : [
{
"system" : "http://loinc.org",
"code" : "32624-9",
"display" : "Race"
}
],
"text" : "Race",
"type" : "choice",
"required" : false,
"repeats" : true,
"answerOption" : [
{
"valueCoding" : {
"system" : "http://loinc.org",
"code" : "LA6156-9",
"display" : "Asian"
}
},

Thanks! Anybody know the right way to report such issues to LOINC, or is anybody here involved in their infra?

Monique van Berkum (Feb 04 2022 at 14:40):

The person to reach out to is probably Paul Lynch plynch@mail.nih.gov on Clem McDonald's team.

Josh Mandel (Feb 04 2022 at 14:41):

Cool. @Paul Lynch is subscribed here, looks like!

Paul Lynch (Feb 04 2022 at 16:12):

That does look like a mistake. I am not sure how to report that to LOINC, but perhaps @John Hook can provide some direction?

John Hook (Feb 17 2022 at 00:57):

@Josh Mandel thank you for pointing out this error in the questionnaire. It should be fixed in the 2.72 release which is available now. https://fhir.loinc.org/Questionnaire/93025-5
