Drug Dictionary Coding Flow

When Oracle Argus Safety makes a call to the web service, it will populate the 'DRUG_NAME' node. Oracle Argus Safety expects the central drug dictionary to populate all possible information in the response XML as per define Drug Dictionary Interface response schema. Oracle Argus Safety will display this information in a browser from which the user can select the correct drug.

If the web service does not return any results or is unavailable, Oracle Argus Safety will present the user with the WHODrug browser with local dictionary information if the system is configured to allow this.

Note:

If an ingredient is returned that is not in the 'LM_INGREDIENTS' table of Oracle Argus Safety, the ingredient will not be stored with the case. ATC code is also not stored with the case data. However, both of these items are visible in the browser.
