Hi Rong We are talking about this a great deal and I would suggest that we go ahead with the review of this archetype together. There needs to be a single name of the drug as prescribed - this may or may not be generic. If the name is a Tradename a requirement to include the generic name in the order has been proposed in our national program. That is how it got to be like this.
The ATC code should be a mapping in the data I believe rather than a field as it is a code and will need the terminology reference. Is this helpful.
