    88== Why do I want this? ==
    9 RxNorm 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.
     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. For Meaningful Use, you are required to have RxNorm for various purposes.

     11== What does this release contain? ==
     12This release contains Fileman files corresponding to most of public domain RxNorm (archived data is not loaded into VISTA). It also contains utilities for querying RxNorm for specific information and a utility to add drugs to the drug files automatically based on an !RxNorm number.

     14It's important to note that the public domain !RxNorm files here differ from the NLM prescribable subset of RxNorm. While both are public domain, the prescribable subset does not contain the VA datasets that enable translation between VISTA and RxNorm. These are available in the full RxNorm package from the NLM.

    1116== How can I install Rxnorm on VISTA/RPMS? ==
    1217As 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]]
