Nate, The terminology is currently "VaClass\SCDF\”. So if you’ve mapped to SCD(like "medication XX MG Oral Capsule”), you will need to use rxNorm to get the SCDF (like “medication Oral Capsule”). Alternatively, you could build out the SCD folders so that you have them under the SCDF, giving you “VaClass\SCDF\SCD\” which would still be valid for “VaClass\SCDF” and would probably give you the leaf nodes you need to map your medications. (Just a guess). That’s what I’m planning to do here at UTSW.
It does look like there are some missing SCDFs in the GPC terminology though. Acetylcysteine for example had 4 Does Forms of Inhalant Solution, Injectable Solution, Oral Capsule, and Oral Tablet, but I’m only seeing the "Injectable Solution” in the GPC Terminology.

Though we’re not an Epic site, we are in the middle of transitioning from NDC to RxCUI/RxNORM as our primary medication terminology in order to align with GPC. We’ve done several mappings using different versions of mapping content from NDC to RxCUI, and our closest match (to the ontology) merits about 2,300 matches with the RxCUI ontology out on Babel, which contains about 5,500 RxCUI codes. We have 11,000 unique RxCUI codes from our mappings using the USNLM mapping content, so we’re not getting a good amount of those represented with the current GPC RxCUI ontology. The real kicker is that those 2,300 matches only represent about 1.5% of the total volume of medication data that we have, so while it is about half of the ontology, it’s significantly less representative of the total amount of potential data that could be represented if all of our codes were matched in the ontology. We’re wondering if the ontology is at a specific level of granularity that we haven’t accommodated in our mappings, which is making our terms misalign with the precise codes used in the GPC RxCUI ontology. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for raising this question, Phillip!

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. Bonnie Bonnie L.

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?
