    85== What is Rxnorm? ==
    96Rxnorm is a standardized vocabulary set for Drugs in the United States. The goal of Rxnorm is drug nomenclature standardization and systems interoperability. More information on Rxnorm can be found at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm/.

    11 == How can I install Rxnorm on VISTA? ==
    12 v0.02: This version changes how you would do installation. You now install the dictionary file (which you need to only install once unless it changes) and then install the data file, which changes month to month. The data installation now takes only 3 minutes on my poor laptop since it is transported as globals. [[BR]]
     8== Why do I want this? ==
     9RxNorm is necessary for interoperability with other systems. If you use VISTA alone without having to talk to any other system, then you don't need RxNorm. However, if you perform external drug interactions, send CCDA documents, or archive patient records for CCR, you are going to need RxNorm.

     11== How can I install Rxnorm on VISTA/RPMS? ==
     12As of version 0.02 (currently the version 2.2), this version changes how you would do installation. You now install the dictionary file (which you need to only install once unless it changes) and then install the data file, which changes month to month. The data installation now takes 30 minutes to 60 minutes since it is transported as globals. [[BR]]
