MedDRA Encoding Flow

When Oracle Argus Safety makes a call to the web service, it populates the REPORTED and CODED nodes with data entered by the user. The REPORTED term is essentially a verbatim term while the coded term is the term that is expected to be coded by the remote system. The returned message contains a PATHS node with PATH sub-nodes that have been encoded by the remote system. Oracle Argus Safety displays the returned LLTs in the MedDRA browser from which you can select the correct LLT. Note that the MedDRA Browser does not open on the Case Bookin screen.

If autoencoding is enabled and finds an exact match, Oracle Argus Safety places the encoded LLT term in the case form. If autoencoding finds multiple matches, the system uses the primary path. If autoencoding is not enabled or does not find any matches, or the web service is unavailable, Oracle Argus Safety loads the MedDRA browser with local dictionary information, if the system is configured to allow this.
