Data Changes
Qualitative Distinction
Please see the technical documentation for an explanation of Qualitative Distinctions (QDs), which were first released in the August monthly release.
Here are the new concepts with QDs in the July release:
| RXCUI | TTY | String |
|---|---|---|
| 1926331 | SCD | 0.5 UNT Doses 3 ML Insulin Lispro 100 UNT/ML Pen Injector |
| 1926332 | SBD | 0.5 UNT Doses 3 ML Insulin Lispro 100 UNT/ML Pen Injector [Humalog] |
For each SCD or SBD with a QD, there is an associated attribute in RXNSAT with the attribute name (ATN) of 'RXN_QUALITATIVE_DISTINCTION'. The July release contains the following new attributes to match the QD strings found in the SCD and SBD normalized names:
- 0.5 UNT Doses
