Comment (by campbell):
SCILHS/Medication metadata issues addressed with load to BABEL toiday:
• SCILHS medication metadata subset only includes 40,617,709 of UNMC
60,955,630 prescriptions and pharmacy dispense data
• Many historical RXNORM and NDC codes no longer in active use are
not found in SCILHS even though we have valid observation facts in i2b2
• UMLS metathesaurus does not provide history mechanism for RXNORM
or NDC
• NLM willing to expand RXCLASS API to include history mechanisms
but not deployed yet; they provided work-around for this load until API
available
• VA drug classes are SCILHS/SHRINE preferred top level ontology for
browsing and querying clinical medication events but that is static scheme
as of 12/31/2017
• VA drug classes deploy different ingredient-level subsets of codes
based upon clinical indication
• (therefore) with VA drug classes as sole top-level ontology, not
all clinical formulations or packages can be deployed
• Other top-level classifications for medications, like ATC, have
similar limitations
