Terminology normalization is provided in the Inpatient Medications widget through the following GUI elements:
The Drug Name column displays a prescription medication within the patient's record. Hovering over an entry in this column will display the standard used for terminology normalization for the clinical domain (RxNorm), the standardized RxNorm name, and the standardized RxNorm code for that medication.
The Standardized Drug Name column displays the standardized name for the corresponding entry in the Drug Name column, mapped to the RxNorm standard. In addition to the standardized name, hovering over an entry in this column will display the standard used for terminology normalization for the clinical domain (RxNorm), and the standardized code for that medication.
The data in the Ordering HCP and Ordering HCP Specialty columns in the minimized and expanded views of the widget are normalized to the National Uniform Claim Committee Taxonomy (NUCC) standard. Hovering over the entries in these columns will display the standardized name and standardized code for the ordering HCP (provider).
The following example highlights a medication mapped to the RxNorm standard. The standardized name and standardized code are displayed in the hover text over the record in the Standardized Drug Name column.
