Assessing the impact of HL7/FDA Structured Product Label (SPL) content for medication knowledge management
1Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University School of Informatics, Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Abstract:
The amount and quality of the SPL drug knowledge which has been released so far is assessed. All published labels were loaded into a relational database and classified to create vendor-independent descriptions. While SPL labels cover only 23% of RxNorm clinical drugs, they still describe 78% of actual community pharmacy dispenses records. SPL descriptions agree well with RxNorm. SPL can be used as the primary source of drug information for e-prescribing systems once the upcoming FDA listing rule takes effect. In the interim, existing gaps can be temporarily closed with RxNorm or other sources.
