Description
Analyzing medication data longitudinally presents a significant challenge due to frequent changes to the market. Different ontologies, such as RxNorm, aim to provide semantic concepts to achieve semantic interoperability. In the development of a prototype clinical triplestore utilizing the FHIR®1 R3 RDF specification, we identified the need for a comprehensive and harmonized approach to mapping medication codes. SMOREs was developed to input local medications and produce mappings to standardized ontologies.
Learning Objective: To present a new tool that provides institutions the ability to improve their semantic relationships of local medications to standardized ontologies
