If you do not populate raw values in pcornet, use any other field with name you 
have in your database. Only condition must be met when using it make sure med 
is prescribed med, not home or any other med such as current meds and so on. 
using any type of meds will cause significant change in cohort size and will 
cause discrepancy between GPC and non-GPC (using pcornet  data) statistics. It 
is very important!!!!
