RxNorm September 2023 Monthly Release

RxNorm September 2023 Monthly Release. NLM Tech Bull. 2023 Sep-Oct;(452):b3.

September 05, 2023 [posted]

The RxNorm September 2023 monthly release became available on Tuesday, September 5, 2023.


RXNORM DATA CHANGES

New RxNorm Term Types

RxNorm has added three new term types (TTYs).

  • Semantic Clinical Drug Form Precise (SCDFP).
  • Semantic Clinical Drug Group Precise (SCDGP).
  • Semantic Branded Drug Form Precise (SBDFP).

These new TTYs will improve the RxNorm model for medications using precise ingredients as the basis of strength substance.

The RxNorm team is working to map the new term types to the current sources in RxNorm. While a significant portion will be completed for the September release, there may be additional mappings that are added over the next few months.
