-===2. LOINC to SNOMED ​relationships === +===2. External ​LOINC relationships === 
-These relationships are defined as "LOINC - SNOMED eq" between "LOINC Hierarchy"​ Concepts and SNOMED Concepts representing the entity that is measured. Note that only a small fraction (1%) is currently mapped. Also, note that some of the mappings seem to confuse the testing for drugs with the drugs themselves.+The purpose of External ​LOINC relationships ​is the following:  
 +to simplify s cross-analysis of clinical information systems, laboratory information,​ specifications or standards ​with a context of combined use of the LOINC and such a coding system as either the SNOMED or CPT4, or PPI.
