Orange Book

Vocabulary Users
#1

Has there ever been a discussion on incorporating Orange Book into the vocabulary?

Potential use cases would include:

  • identifying legal entities who market drugs
  • identifying therapeutic equivalents
  • understanding impact of patent expiration / new drug applications on treatment patterns

@Frank:

Legal entities (suppliers) - good one.
Equivalence - we can do that now, can we not? We have the drug strength for each ingredient.
Life cycle - will put it on the backlog. Probably not soon. How badly you think it is needed?
