HI gpc-dev and (i2b2 community (particular the great and powerful Lori Phillips 
and Jeff Klann),

We are working on loading all the medication claims from Medicare for our eight 
Greater Plains Collaborative PCORnet CDRN into i2b2 where we will link across 
with our site i2b2 data (that has things like tumor registries) and then run 
the scripts to pump it all into the PCORnet CDM ultimately.

We’ve hit a snag:
We’re using the ACT/SCILHS meds ontology loaded in Oracle (version 2.2) via the 
magnanimous Phillip Reeder of Dallas.  But it’s missing a bunch of NDCs.

It looks like that may have been fixed in 3.1a or 3.1b
https://github.com/SCILHS/scilhs-ontology/tree/master/Ontology

Do you know if it’s fixed?

Dan’s notes are below for those who are curious.  Brad and Betsy: if you’re 
curious, we are now querying samples of both PDE and HCPCS for things like 
Chemo administration (but it’s a ~1% sample)
Meds and Chemo Procedures working in at least one case

  *   33124±3 For Query "Analgesics@10:34:37"
  *   1986±3 For Query "J9010 - J9999: @10:36:42"

This works because of:

  *   bb8cad6 fill concept_dimension from PCORIMETADATA

But… thousands of NDC Codes still unsearchable due to missing metadata

About 4 months ago we had record on gpc-dev calls that Jim Campbell was 
connecting to the NLM and looping SCILHS and Jeff Klann 
(https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/280#comment:27)  but 
didn’t know if something was working yet.

Also trying to see if we can keep as much of the GPC work in sync with the 
SCILHS/NIH work.
