General Information:
What's New for 2014AB
For 2014AB, there is 1 new source (LCH_NW) and 57 updated sources (including translation sources and 24 new subsources).
LCH_NW represents Northwestern University's subset of the Library of Congress Subject Heading concepts with mapping information to MeSH strings.

Discussion:
1. The new TTY, RELAs, and ATNs comes from the ANSWERS tab of the Accessory File called 'LOINC_248_SELECTED_FORMS.xlsx'. The file is published with each release and contains the answer information for specific LOINC concepts.
2. New TTY = LA represents the LOINC answer atom.
3. A 'has_answer'/'answer_to' relationship has been created between the concept and its answer.

2. Dropped attribute name (ATN):
CONTRIBUTING_SOURCE
ORIG_CODE
SUBSOURCE
Discussion:
1. The TTY format of subsource+TTY (e.g., UCUMPT) has been deprecated and replaced with individual subsources prepended by 'NCI2014_' (e.g., NCI2014_UCUM) which can be used with the standard TTYs (i.e., PT, SY).
2. With the creation of subsources, the ATN = ORIG_CODE has been deprecated. Subsource codes originally placed into the ATN = ORIG_CODE are now used in the code field.
3. With the creation of subsources, the ATN = CONTRIBUTING_SOURCE and ATN = SUBSOURCE are no longer needed.

4. Dropped attribute name (ATN):
FDASRS
UNII_CODE
Discussion:
1. Two new subsources = NDFRT_FDASPL and NDFRT_FMTSME. These sources provide relationship data only and no atoms.
2. TTY = PSN (Prescribable name) and TTY = FN (Full form of descriptor).
3. MTHFDA is included in each Metathesaurus release as part of RxNorm, however, it was not updated in this version. MTHFDA was last updated in 2011.
4. Selected portions of MSH and SNOMEDCT_US are included in the RxNorm release files, however, they are not processed as part of RxNorm for the Metathesaurus except in assigning RXCUI and RXAUI attributes.

1. ATN = EFFECTIVE_TIME is being created for concepts only.
2. A new set of SNOMEDCT_US to ICD10CM mappings is included in this release.
