Resource Abstract:
- description: The LIMS (laboratory information management system) database is a computerized record of specimens - from serum
samples to carcasses - sent to the National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) for processing and diagnostic workup. Data include
history and recordkeeping information (identifier numbers, species, sex, submitter information, etc); types of tests run (virology,
bacteriology, parasitology, chemistry, etc.) and some test results for heavy metals, particularly lead; and diagnostic results.
The diagnostic coding system is based on SNOMED terminology, with certain modifications and additions to fit Center needs.
SNOMED, the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine, is a structured nomenclature and classification of the terminology used
in human and veterinary medicine. Terms are assigned in any or all of the following six categories for each diagnosis: topography
- detailed anatomic term for the site of interest; morphology - information on the pathogenic change or process associated
with the topography; etiology - cause or causal agent of the disease or dysfunction; disease - disease, disease entity or
syndrome; link - qualifier to link one diagnosis to another.; abstract: The LIMS (laboratory information management system)
