Every card carries the code, the lab, and the reason it matters.
A first-wave catalog for endemic, epidemic, pandemic, emerging, and biothreat testing. Install the same definitions into a public health laboratory and they land in Virology, Molecular, Enterics, LRN, or Water, not in a junk drawer.
Coded first. Narrative second.

The same catalog installs into the LIMS
Each entry is a portable test-definition bundle: analytes, allowable results, LOINC on the observation, SNOMED on the value, and a destination lab code. When a PHL imports the pack, Molecular tests go to MOL, serology to SER, LRN rule-outs to LRN. Nothing arrives as a global orphan unless the receiving lab does not have that department yet.
