Meeting Minutes (June 1, 2018)

Attendees:
Hamed Abedtash, Soo Yeon Cho, Dmitry, Christian Reich

Discussions:

  • Soo presented the on-going project to map Korean drugs to ATC.
  • Need to populate two tables to do the mapping: Standard working spreadsheet (WS) and ATC WS. Then, we can easily join them by active ingredient, ROA, dose form, etc to get the correct crosswalk.
  • Hamed is preparing the ATC WS; will be ready for the next meeting.

Tasks:

  • Hamed will send ATC working sheet to Dmitry.
  • Dmitry will send the list of ATC changes since 20180205 version.

Meeting Minutes (August 10, 2018)

Attendees:
Hamed Abedtash, Soo Yeon Cho, Dmytry, Anna Ostropolets

Discussions:

  • Need to finalize list of allowed ingredients (inclusions and exclusions) in each class
  • DDDs may help in some cases find the correct class, eg, finasteride
  • Hamed: List of allowed route of administration in each class is ready. Hamed will send the list to Soo to review.
  • Anna: We have done some work on ATC mapping. The group may continue to work with her to optimize the pipeline.
  • Hamed: We need to create separate lists for included/excluded ingredients, dose forms, indications, etc. that will make the mapping process easier and sustainable for future iterations.

Tasks:

  • Hamed creates the list of allowed indications.
  • Soo will review allowed ROA table.
  • Anna will integrate ROA, and will send Hamed the list of active ingredients of ATC classes along with a short draft of mapping steps.

@abedtash_hamed:

Let’s try to ratify the current mapping. It still doesn’t do a good job on the combinations, the different indications and dose. Anna and I are looking at it. We will review tomorrow what we find. 100% better than nothing (what we have now). The better is the enemy of the good.

#19

Can someone post any brief minutes of the Sep 7th meeting. (and any plans for future meetings?)

#20

@Vojtech_Huser We had a change in today’s meeting. We are meeting 1-2 pm ET. I’ll post the minute shortly as well.

Meeting Minutes (September 7, 2018)

Attendees:
Hamed Abedtash, Christian, Anna Ostropolets, Dmytry, Robert Carroll

Discussions:

Anna:
• Use current ATC to RxNorm mapping
• Add the route of administration through SPL mapping (from Hamed), and de-ambiguate further
• Introduce rule of combinations only containing ingredients from the same ATC3, where appropriate, and de-ambiguate further
• Resolve Hamed’s list of combination classes for inclusion and exclusion and de-ambiguate further
• Introduce DrugBank as new source vocabulary to RxNorm, for future daily dose
• Introduce Norwegian source vocabulary through RxNorm Extension, check for ATC mapping discrepancies

Hamed:
• Prepare insulins, coagulation factors and vaccines and add source of species heuristic
• Prepare indication heuristics
• Routes were captured SPLs, and ready to be incorporated into the pipeline.

Mapping ndc codes to higher level drug classes

@abedtash_hamed:

Requested full repository from the Norwegian authorities, and registered for DrugBank, now awaiting vetting. Should be straightforward.

Meeting Minutes (October 19, 2018)

Attendees:
Hamed, Qi, Anna

Discussion:

  • Once the mapping of 6 selected drug concept classes are done, we go back to other types of classes if they can be included in the ATC mapping.
  • We need to discuss with vocabulary WG if we want to keep ATC as a standard vocab because it will potentially make some problems with RxNorm-ATC mapping if data source has ATC codes.

Actions:

  • Hamed will send the reviewed mappings to Anna to finalize the list.
  • Anna will send the full list of mappings to Hamed for final review.
