Somewhat similar to Nathan’s experience incorporating the MedEx NLP work for 
meds here in KC to RxNorm that is documented in the HERON code and 
informatics.kumc.edu<http://informatics.kumc.edu> wiki

Using the NLM app for mapping medication data to RxNorm, we developed a set of 
rules when there was no NDC or Medispan code available for mapping.

The bottom line is that when there is missing data, we ended up with a more 
generic RxNorm codes.  When we had sufficient details, we were able to map to a 
more specific code.

We have medications in our clarity_medication table that are not as specific as 
the GPC Medication hierarchy.  For example, we have a medication called “ZOLOFT 
ORAL”   This has multiple GCNs associated with it for the 25MG, 50MG, and 100MG 
versions, and the oral concentrate version.  And the current medication mapping 
code adds the medications under all of the versions.

I’m guessing we have this issue because we have been running Epic at UTSW for 
10+ years.  Do any other GPC epic sites have a similar issue?

Thanks,
Phillip
