RxNorm Drug Terminologies

**Overview**
This data package contains information on RxNorm concepts, atoms, attributes, retired concepts, relationships that exist between atoms and concepts, semantic types, or broad subject categories assigned to each concept, relationships that exist between atoms and concepts for currently prescribed drugs, RxNorm drug and ingredient names and codes as well as source-provided drug and ingredient names.

**Description**
This data package contains complete database of RxNorm. RxNorm provides normalized names for clinical drugs and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software, including those of First Databank, Micromedex, MediSpan, Gold Standard Drug Database, and Multum. By providing links between these vocabularies, RxNorm can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary.

**Benefits**
- Hospitals, pharmacies, and other organizations use computer systems to record and process drug information. because these systems use many different sets of drug names, it can be difficult for one system to communicate with another. to address this challenge, rxnorm data package provides normalized names and unique identifiers for medicines and drugs. the goal this data package is to allow computer systems to communicate drug-related information efficiently and unambiguously.

**Included Datasets**
- [RxNorm Archived Atoms Information](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-archived-atoms-information)
- This dataset includes history information about RxNorm atoms. It contains information about SAB=RXNORM atoms that are no longer in “RxNorm Drugs Names and Identifiers”.
- [RxNorm Attributes Data for Concepts and Atoms](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-attributes-data-for-concepts-and-atoms)
- This dataset contains all of the attribute data. This includes RXNORM provided attributes, such as normalized 11-digit National Drug Codes (NDCs), UNII codes, and human or veterinary usage markers, and source-provided attributes, such as labeler, definition, and imprint information. Each attribute has an 'Attribute Name' (ATN) and 'Attribute Value' (ATV) combination. For example, NDCs have an ATN of 'NDC' and an ATV of the actual NDC value.
- [RxNorm Changed Atoms and Concepts from Last Release](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-changed-atoms-and-concepts-from-last-release)
- This dataset contains information on atoms that have changed concepts from the previous release to the current release. It only provides data about changes since the last release of RxNorm, it is not cumulative.
- [RxNorm Data Elements and Attributes Names](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-data-elements-and-attributes-names)
- This dataset provides a brief explanation of the names and values for the data elements and attributes in RxNorm and the UMLS.
- [RxNorm Drugs Names and Identifiers](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-drugs-names-and-identifiers)
- This dataset contains all of the source-provided drug and ingredient names, as well as the normalized SAB=RXNORM names. Every string or concept name in RxNorm appears in this file, connected to its language, source vocabularies, and its concept identifier.
- [RxNorm Prescription Drugs Attributes Data for Concepts and Atoms](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-prescription-drugs-attributes-data-for-concepts-and-atoms)
- This dataset contains all of the attribute data. This includes RXNORM provided attributes for currently prescribable drugs. The attributes such as normalized 11-digit National Drug Codes (NDCs), UNII codes, and human or veterinary usage markers, and source-provided attributes, such as labeler, definition, and imprint information. Each attribute has an 'Attribute Name' (ATN) and 'Attribute Value' (ATV) combination. For example, NDCs have an ATN of 'NDC' and an ATV of the actual NDC value.
- [RxNorm Prescription Drugs Names and Identifiers](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-prescription-drugs-names-and-identifiers)
- This dataset contains all Currently Prescribable drug and ingredient names and codes. Every string or concept name in RxNorm appears in this file, connected to its language, source vocabularies, and its concept identifier.
- [RxNorm Prescription Drugs Relationships between Concepts and Atoms](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-prescription-drugs-relationships-between-concepts-and-atoms)
- This dataset contains all of the relationships that exist between atoms and between concepts for currently prescribable drugs. This includes source-provided relationships and relationships between RXNORM source-provided drug names.
- [RxNorm Relationships between Concepts and Atoms](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-relationships-between-concepts-and-atoms)
- This dataset contains all of the relationships that exist between atoms and between concepts. This includes source-provided relationships and relationships between RXNORM source-provided drug names.
- [RxNorm Retired Concept CUIs](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-retired-concept-cuis)
- This dataset contains information on retired concepts. A concept is retired when it merges into another concept, has been renamed as a result of an error or no longer appears in the source vocabulary.
- [RxNorm Semantic Types for Concepts](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-semantic-types-for-concepts)
- This dataset contains the semantic types, or broad subject categories, assigned to each concept. Every concept receives at least one semantic type.
- [RxNorm Source Provider Information](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-source-provider-information)
- This dataset contains contact information for source providers, available term types and attributes, and other information related to each RxNorm source.
- [RxNorm Term Types for Normalized Names](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/rxnorm-term-types-for-normalized-names)
- RXNORM source uses term types (TTYs) to indicate generic and branded drug names at different levels of specificity. This dataset includes the full list of term types, where source provider is RXNORM.

**Data Engineering Overview**
**We deliver high-quality data**
- Each dataset goes through 3 levels of quality review
- 2 Manual reviews are done by domain experts
- Then, an automated set of 60+ validations enforces every datum matches metadata & defined constraints
- Data is normalized into one unified type system
- All dates, unites, codes, currencies look the same
- All null values are normalized to the same value
- All dataset and field names are SQL and Hive compliant
- Data and Metadata
- Data is available in both CSV and Apache Parquet format, optimized for high read performance on distributed Hadoop, Spark & MPP clusters
- Metadata is provided in the open Frictionless Data standard, and its every field is normalized & validated
- Data Updates
- Data updates support replace-on-update: outdated foreign keys are deprecated, not deleted

**Our data is curated and enriched by domain experts**

Each dataset is manually curated by our team of doctors, pharmacists, public health & medical billing experts:
- Field names, descriptions, and normalized values are chosen by people who actually understand their meaning
- Healthcare & life science experts add categories, search keywords, descriptions and more to each dataset
- Both manual and automated data enrichment supported for clinical codes, providers, drugs, and geo-locations
- The data is always kept up to date – even when the source requires manual effort to get updates
- Support for data subscribers is provided directly by the domain experts who curated the data sets
- Every data source’s license is manually verified to allow for royalty-free commercial use and redistribution.
