Key Features:

• The model accurately maps various drug names, including brand and generic names, to their respective RxNorm codes. RxNorm, developed by the National Library of Medicine, provides standardized nomenclature for medications, aiding in clear and consistent drug identification.
• In addition to mapping drugs to RxNorm codes, the model identifies the related RxNorm drug class, providing essential information about the pharmacological classification of each medication. This feature is useful for understanding the therapeutic uses and mechanisms of action of different drugs.

The model can interpret a wide range of drug-related terminology from diverse sources, including electronic health records, prescription data, and pharmacological literature. By providing accurate drug classifications, the model assists healthcare professionals in better understanding drug interactions, contraindications, and appropriate medication regimens, enhancing patient care and safety.

This model can be used in pharmacy management to simplify medication dispensing and inventory management through the provision of standardized drug information. It can also be used to enhance Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems by incorporating precise drug coding, resulting in improved medication reconciliation and clinical decision support. Furthermore, it can assist in healthcare data analytics by facilitating the analysis of medication data for research purposes, policy-making, and the improvement of healthcare quality.
