Mapping concepts in the inputevents table to RxNorm: Mapping the drug Carafate (Sucralfate) #18
While mapping concepts in the inputevents table we encountered an issue mapping the drug Sucralfate (Carafate):
The logic used to map to input events was that any drug under the category Drug Push [ordercategorydescription] is an IV medication. However, Carafate (Sucralfate) [label], [itemid] 225912, is listed multiple times as Drug Push [ordercategorydescription] even though this drug is in oral form only.
Is Sucralfate listed by mistake as a Drug Push? Or is the logic incorrect and Drug Push [ordercategorydescription] includes Non IV medications?
