In upcoming GH 5.0, we'll include the LOINC[1] terminology. This will be be of great help in harmonizing the codes for specimens and analytes[2], and better integration on HL7

I think probably the best approach is to create a health_loinc module, and make it a dependency for health_lab, but we can study other alternatives.

In addition, the datasets for lab test types and analytes should be updated to meet LOINC terms.
