Hi,
1. This code doesn’t exist. Now rely on the Rx module (either the allscripts or newcrop) to do this on their end.
2. No drug database is included in OpenEMR. The RxNorm can be imported by the steps on above wiki link.
3. The RxNorm database has not been integrated into OpenEMR’s prescription module. This is something that needs to be done: http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Active_Projects#Integrate_RXNorm
To use alternative databases should not be too difficult to support. Suggest using a mechanism akin to what is used for supporting different coding structures in the of the custom/code_types.inc.php script.
4. The medication module and prescription module need to be integrated: http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Active_Projects#Integrate_medications_and_prescriptions
(after integrating, then would be straightforward to use the mechanisms created in 3. above)
5. CAMOS data (including meds) are populated from here:
