The NPU terminology is a coding system and terminology for identification and communication, storage, and presentation of examination results from clinical laboratories in the health area. The NPU Terminology is implemented in nearly all electronic systems in laboratory departments at the hospitals, in the private labs, suppliers of laboratory systems and EHRs in Health Care Systems in the three Scandinavian Countries, and the Terminology has proved useful in Health Informatics and in Health Care for more than 15 years, and is today a national standard in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The problem is that the NPU Terminology is poorly known outside the Scandinavian Countries.

Seeking to increase the general knowledge of the NPU Terminology, create interest, and demonstrate the use and the value of terminology, this project delivered a video and a flyer, both available online at https://iupac.org/project/2019-009-1-700.
