I agree except in the case of Generic packs and Branded pack formulations which are reported in the NLM documentation to be the sole exceptions to SCDF and SBDF 'prescribable drug' status. These four RXNORM code types should be the 'clinical prescription/order' codes for our inpatient orders and outpatient prescriptions. Jim

Aaron noted that he's not concerned with the current design and he doesn't have any questions at this time. He said that ~30% of their order volume (CMH I suppose? I didn't think to clarify on the phone) is currently mapped to the GPC ontology. For the remaining ~70%, they have the RxCUIs (via NDC) but the code to map these CUI's to the parent SCDF/SBDF via the !RxNorm relationship table(s) hasn't been completed yet. I suggested that ([https://informatics.kumc.edu/work/browser/heron_load/epic_med_mapping.sql epic_med_mapping.sql]) might be a useful reference. It's likely not directly reusable of course - for one thing, at KU most of our medications map to !RxNorm via GCN rather than NDC (in fact, the KU code doesn't even bother with [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm/NDC_Normalization_Code.rtf NDC normalization]). I've created #272 to keep track of the question from comment:14 regarding obsolete terms. -- Ticket URL: <http://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/78#comment:16> gpc-informatics <http://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/> Greater Plains Network - Informatics The information in this e-mail may be privileged and confidential, intended only for the use of the addressee(s) above.
