متن کاملMethods for managing variation in clinical drug names.
OBJECTIVES To develop normalization methods for managing the variation in clinical drug names. METHODS Manual examination of drug names from RxNorm and local variants collected from formularies led to the identification of three types of drug-specific normalization rules: expansion of abbreviations (e.g., tab to tablet);reformatting of specific elements (e.g., space between number and unit); ...
