Dr. Melissa Haendel (Distinguished Professor) received a subcontract from Johns Hopkins University for “Computational LOINC to Support Biomedical Research at Scale”. Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) codes are logically composed from constituent parts to describe unique concepts with sufficient detail to discriminate specific labs and clinical findings. The goal of the project is to leverage existing groups and organizations to solicit use cases and evaluate ontology development and priorities. Dr. Haendel also received a supplement from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to fund the work of her Data Modeling team to develop data intake forms and use cases for analysis and visualization of the demonstration portal for the INCLUDE study.
