Of specific interest in this release , current implementers may want to review these changes:

    • SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 LOINC terms requested or identified by Canadian Implementers for inclusion. If your SARS-CoV-2 LOINC term for testing is not listed and you would like for it to be included in the next pCLOCD release, please submit  a Request for Change via Infoway’s Request Management System.

    • Updated terms with ‘CBC’ to ‘Complete blood count’ for consistency across terms.

    • Updated "Viral hemorrhagic disease virus" to "Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus" based on the short name, which includes the RHDV acronym, and to align with the species name used in the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Separate terms exist in LOINC for other hemorrhagic disease virus testing.
