Update SMART Sample Patients to eliminate old/expired RxNorm codes #218

Open jmandel opened 11 years ago

Our sample data were produced from anonymized patient extracts back in 2010; some of the RxNorm codes aren't valid today. We ought to replace outdated/incorrect codes with current/correct ones (rather than just eliminating sample data).

Great idea! Basically, we need to run the meds data file for the sample patients( https://github.com/chb/smart_sample_patients/blob/master/data/meds.txt) through one of these RXNorm code remappers.

Would it be a good idea to keep some outdated codes in? I guess that will be the reality for app developers, they might encounter outdated codes, right?
