Description
http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition-us-core-medication-definitions.html#Medication.code is a CodeableConcept and can support RxNorm and NDC Codes.
Impacts Medication, MedicationRequest, MedicationStatement.
There is no change to the Profile since it is an extensible CodeableConcept. However the guide should clarify that Payers should:
- Start with the NDC Code
- Map to RxNorm equivalent
- Place both values into the relevant code field of the resource(Extensible CodeableConcept)
The Guide should also make it clear that NDC is the originating code.
A whitepaper will be added to Confluence to provide advice on how to perform the NDC to RxNorm mapping.
