LOINC description : Code indicating the basis of assignment of latitude and longitude coordinates for
an individual record from an address. This data item is helpful in identifying cases
that were assigned coordinates based on incomplete information, post office boxes,
or rural routes. Most of the time, this information is provided by a geocoding vendor
service. Alternatively, a central registry staff manually assigns the code. This item
is not coded by the hospital. Codes are hierarchical, with lower numbers having priority.
Spatial analysis of cancer data often requires identifying data records with a high
degree of locational precision. Researchers can use this code as a basis for selecting
records with a degree of precision that is appropriate to the study. .. NAACCR Data
