LOINC is strange in some ways, I know. However, LOINC is one of the

better coding systems -- they provide free-of-charge data files

suitable for import (which we already support).

Is there tiny albeit still real value to pre-populating some of the commonly used (especially clinical in-office) measurements with their LOINC codes?

I could over time pull together some of the codings,

Is it intended (over time) that the frontend Measurements widget be able to assign the LOINC to a test type via use of phrasewheel?
