Reclassifying Indication Assignments

Note:

In TMS 5.3 release, Indication Assignment is no longer associated to a verbatim term. Upon classification or reclassification of an indication and/or route of administration, the assignment is associated to a dictionary term.

An indication omission can occur in a dictionary like WHO-Drug Format B3 or C3 when a single dictionary term is mapped to multiple terms in the next higher derivable level and the correct derivation depends on the indication for which the drug is being taken by a patient. You can classify indication omissions, creating indication assignments, under the Omission Management menu.

In the Reclassify Indication Assignments window you can:

• Reclassify the indication assignment to a different higher level term.

• Declassify the indication assignment, creating an indication omission.

The Distinct Indication Assignments tab displays each verbatim term with its indication, the level up to which terms could be successfully derived even before the indication omission was classified, the term that is derived in that level, and the higher level term to which the indication omission is assigned. The Distinct Indication Omissions tab displays each verbatim term/indication combination once.

1. Query for an indication assignment in the Distinct Indication Assignments tab and select it.
2. The Higher Level Terms tab automatically displays the higher-level terms that are related to the dictionary term selected in the Distinct Indication Assignments tab.

   • To reclassify the current lower level dictionary term to a different higher level term for the current verbatim term/indication combination, select the higher level term and click Reclassify.

   • To declassify the indication assignment and create an indication omission, select the higher level term and click Declassify.
