Newbie questions continued...
Does GNU Health use chemistry registration number/codes for
inventory management (and anywhere else) or could this safely be
ignored?
Wikipedia: CAS Registry Numbers are
unique numerical identifiers assigned by the "Chemical Abstracts
Service" to every chemical described in the open scientific
literature (currently including those described from at least
1957 through the present) and including elements, isotopes,
organic and inorganic compounds, organometallics, metals,
alloys, coordination compounds, minerals, and salts; as well as
standard mixtures, compounds, polymers; biological sequences
including proteins & nucleic acids; nuclear particles, and
nonstructurable materials (aka 'UVCB's- i.e., materials of
Unknown, Variable Composition, or Biological origin). They are
also referred to as CAS RNs, CAS Numbers, etc.
We'll definitely (have to) use LOINC on analyses.
