Hi @Christian_Reich ,
Sorry, I tried to add my response to your question in the earlier post, but the system blocked it.
I wanted to circle back with you on the VA Drug Class and Product Codes after Drs. Michael Matheny and John Kilbourne discussed. Dr. Matheny would like to bring NDF with VUIDs back and he offered to help coordinate updating the vocabulary and fix any of the hierarchy issues should you like assistance. He explained we really need those to come back into the OMOP CDM because the user community who are using OMOP has really expanded based on the number of VA access requests for both research and national operational users. We are also getting requests for small data additions for particular use cases. To help coordinate this, I checked VA PBM’s website for the latest pharmacist curated formulary. We can send you this if it would be helpful. PBM’s Excel does include the latest identifiers for all the new drugs and vaccines I checked. Dr. Matheny has also asked Julie Ducom (Julie.Ducom@va.gov) to assist.
Thanks,
