Configuring WHO Drug

Oracle Argus Safety supports WHO-Drug encoding using a locally installed version of the WHO-Drug dictionary through the WHO-Drug browser.

You can use either local WHO-Drug Coding or Central System WHO-Drug Coding (Web Service Method). To select an option:

1. Go to System Configurations > System Management (Common Profile Switches).
2. From the left pane, go to Case Processing > Dictionary Browser.
3. On the right pane, under Argus Safety WHO Drug Coding Method section, select an option:
   • Local WHO Drug (Default): Uses the current functionality of WHO-Drug browser that uses the Local Dictionary in the Database.
   • Web Services: Returns the WHO-Drug fields via the configured Web Services.

     The system enables the Use Local WHO Drug if Term not found by Web Services checkbox.
