Can you explain what the rx_basis means?  Administration vs dispensing?  And 
what should it be set to for the medication orders?

Thanks,
Phillip

Thanks again Shelley,
Phillip, JimC and DanC: to follow up on today’s gpc-dev call, I’d like sites to 
load physician orders broadly encompassing all encounter types and then 
investigators can filter to what the desire by linking on encounter type.

That way the CDM would have utility for inpatient and emergency medicine (near 
and dear to Jim McClay).

Hi everyone,

If it’s helpful from a general perspective, the CDM structures the PRESCRIBING 
table for any medication orders (regardless of whether it’s inpatient, 
outpatient, ED, etc). But this may be quite different than availability of 
these data.

Best wishes,
Shelley

Hi Russ.  Thanks for emailing - no bother at all.
I'm cc'ing a few others who have expertise in this issue (Charles Bailey at 
CHOP and Casie Horgan and Jessica Sturtevant on the DRNOC QF team).

We are not including inpatient medications in our study.  We made this decision 
for logistical reasons (we didn't think it would be available, or if available, 
it would be available in a highly variable way) and scientific (we are most 
focused on potentially modifiable antibiotic use, and inpatient use doesn't fit 
that categorization).  The scientific point is a debatable one, and we have had 
some subtle disagreement on the team about this.  But, ultimately, since it 
wasn't going to be available, we chose to pursue use of antibiotics prescribed 
in the outpatient setting.

Casie and Jessica might be able to respond to how we excluded meds in ED and 
Inpatient settings, if they did that explicitly.  Charlie has lots of 
experience with meds as well, so he might want to respond to this.

I could see how studies would like to include ED and inpatient med prescribing 
(or dispensing), and I would support inclusion of that in the CDM.  We just 
won't use for our study, as it's currently structured.

Dear Jason,
I hate to bug you but we wanted to get your quick check on something as the GPC 
sites are doing their CDM work in support of your study.

Apologies for not being as close to your study but wanted to confirm something 
about how the CDM is being loaded and potential implications for your study as 
it’s the first big thing using medications from the CDM.

The CDM 
http://pcornet.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2015-07-29-PCORnet-Common-Data-Model-v3dot0-RELEASE.pdf<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__pcornet.org_wp-2Dcontent_uploads_2014_07_2015-2D07-2D29-2DPCORnet-2DCommon-2DData-2DModel-2Dv3dot0-2DRELEASE.pdf&d=CwMF-g&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=Vu1yqij3sPINGhACFSh38ArhXkVAmgx-t4FJu5KXbYY&m=7IGVk2QoYKMlC9tHPJrSA9IKFgzn3D2U48glbgYDBl8&s=yGtovUGBuLMyDvbiumYOYlrfIsuGXaxHNIIEr6pMYNo&e=>
on page 13 specifies that the prescribing tables and the dispensing tables 
should not contain

-          inpatient medication administrations

-          active medication lists resulting from medication reconciliation

Prescribing should obviously have outpatient prescriptions but it’s unclear to 
some regarding physician inpatient orders.  The table specification in written 
largely in language of outpatient prescriptions but the page 13 figure 
indicates that prescribing encompasses physician orders that spawn both 
dispenses and administrations.

I would just be concerned that if sites are conservative in only loading 
ambulatory meds, we’re going to have limited CDM data to support studies that 
want to include inpatient and emergency room medication exposures.

As you look at your early sites, what are you seeing?

Does that match what exposures you wish you had?

Bottom line: are you only looking at outpatient prescribing or dispensing 
exposure to antibiotics or does your study need inpatient and emergency room 
medication exposure?

My personal bias is to exclude the admins and the med rec at this point but 
include both inpatient and outpatient medication orders written by the 
physician.
