Coding dictionaries
When used with the InForm Adapter and Central Coding, the InForm application supports automated coding, using the following standard coding dictionaries:
- Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities—Standard thesaurus containing terminology applicable to all phases of drug development and to the health effects of devices.
- World Health Organization Drug Dictionary—Standard thesaurus containing terminology about drugs.
To use Central Coding with an InForm application trial, you must install the XML definitions of the applicable standard dictionaries in the trial database by using the MedML Installer. The InForm application includes an XML file containing sample definitions of the MedDRA and WHODD dictionaries. This file, called core_Dicts.xml, is located in the XMLBase folder of the InForm application installation.
