LOINC long common name : Patient summary Document;
LOINC short name : Patient summary Doc;
LOINC description : This document is a concise clinical document that provides an electronic, pre-defined
patient health data set applicable both for unexpected, as well as expected (planned),
health care contact. This document may be either the product of a medical act or an
automatic excerpt from national/regional EHRs. A Patient Summary gives a healthcare
provider the essential information needed for health care coordination and, in cases
of an unexpected need or when the patient consults a provider other than his regular
contact person (e.g. the general practitioner he/she is registered with), this document
enables continuity of care. Because it is meant to be a summary, this document might
not include a detailed medical history, details on clinical conditions or a full list
of all prescriptions and dispensed medicines.;
