Was für Romantiker Venedig, ist für Radiologen Chicago: Sie müssen den Kongress der Radiological Society of North America gesehen haben, zumindest einmal im Leben – die monumentalen Ausstellungshallen, die riesigen, weit oben in der Luft schwebenden Logos der Unternehmen, die uferlosen, dicht gedrängten Stände, das internationale Publikum.

Abstract Objective This paper describes the unified LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook and the process by which it was produced. Methods The Regenstrief Institute and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) developed a unification plan consisting of six objectives 1) develop a unified model for radiology procedure names that represents the attributes with an extensible set of values, 2) transform existing LOINC procedure codes into the unified model representation, 3) create a mapping between all the attribute values used in the unified model as coded in LOINC (ie, LOINC Parts) and their equivalent concepts in RadLex, 4) create a mapping between the existing procedure codes in the RadLex Core Playbook and the corresponding codes in LOINC, 5) develop a single integrated governance process for managing the unified terminology, and 6) publicly distribute the terminology artifacts. Results We developed a unified model and instantiated it in a new LOINC release artifact that contains the LOINC codes and display name (ie LONG_COMMON_NAME) for each procedure, mappings between LOINC and the RSNA Playbook at the procedure code level, and connections between procedure terms and their attribute values that are expressed as LOINC Parts and RadLex IDs. We transformed all the existing LOINC content into the new model and publicly distributed it in standard releases. The organizations have also developed a joint governance process for ongoing maintenance of the terminology. Conclusions The LOINC/RSNA Radiology Playbook provides a universal terminology standard for radiology orders and results.
