APPENDIX A - CAT4 Item Descriptions
Listed below is a sample of the Measurement codes for the CAT4 Item Descriptions that will require mapping in Medtech32.

Pathology: LOINC codes provide a standard common terminology for laboratory and clinical observations. https://search.loinc.org/searchLOINC/
A LOINC code should be provided by the path labs with each result they send back, however it is sometimes missing. CAT4 will first look for a LOINC code. If that is not provided it will look for a test name. Unfortunately test names are not standardised so CAT will sometimes use "wildcard" searching of test names (denoted by a %).

Below is a list of the Immunisation codes for the CAT4 Item Descriptions that will require mapping in Medtech32.
DESCRIPTION | MAPPED | VACCINES MAPPED TO |
Immunisations_fluvax | No | All vaccines for Influenza |
Immunisations_panvax | No | This data item was added in 2009 for the rollout of Panvax against Swine Flu to assist practices with management. It is no longer needed as the Influenza vaccine now includes protection. This does not need to be mapped. |
Immunisations_gardasil | No | All vaccines for HPV |
Immunisations_pertussis | No | All vaccines for Pertussis |
Immunisations_pneumovax | No | All vaccines for Pneumococcal |
Immunisations_hebp | No | All vaccines for Hepatitis B |
Immunisations_dtpa | No | All vaccines for Diphtheria |
Immunisations_hib | No | All vaccines for HIB |
Immunisations_polio | No | All vaccines for Poliomyelitis |
Immunisations_prevanar | No | All vaccines for Pneumococcal (childhood) |
Immunisations_rotavirus | No | All vaccines for Rotavirus |
Immunisations_mmr | No | MMR |
Immunisations_menccv | No | All vaccines for Meningococcus C |
Immunisations_hepa | No | All vaccines for Hepatitis A |
Immunisations_vzv | No | All vaccines for Varicella-Zoster |
