KNOWN ISSUES regarding pCLOCD-20190731 (Microsoft Excel file)
The pan-Canadian Name field in English an= d French is generated from a formula that concatenates the pan-Canadian Com= ponent name (EN or FR) with one or more of the LOINC attributes of System, = Time, Method or Property. The formula first looks up the attribute in the L= OINC Element Substitution Table and will present the substitution attribute= if the LOINC version is abbreviated or contains unnecessary punctuation (f= or example, BldA will display as Arterial Blood). With the authoring of our= new release pCLOCD-20190131 we found periodic errors in the formula=E2=80= =99s ability to make the substitution from the table. We have done our best= to find and correct any errors but would like to caution our users to repo= rt any unusual displays in the pan-Canadian Name in English or French using= InfoRMS. We are working on a long term solution to the problem with the fo= rmula, but for this release, it was a manual fix.
