Medical data interoperability: why one biomarker is not one code
Summary
This article explains how to make laboratory biomarker data interoperable across systems using LOINC and UCUM. It shows why one biomarker can map to multiple codes depending on component, system, method, property, and unit. It also describes how to represent these data in OMOP CDM for real-world evidence and analytics use cases. The piece recommends a phased migration approach and highlights the need for careful ETL design when standardizing clinical data.
