    33Welcome to the homepage for the !RxNorm VISTA/RPMS Support. I am Sam Habiel, and I am the developer for these packages. I can be reached at sam dot habiel at gmail dot com.

    5 == What is Rxnorm? ==
     5== What is !RxNorm? ==
    66!RxNorm 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/.

    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. For Meaningful Use, you are required to have RxNorm for various purposes.

    1111== What does this release contain? ==
    12 This 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.

    14 It'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.
