As we here at Clinical Architecture have been developing our Symedical product, I have had the pleasure of spending some quality time with UMLS Metathesaurus and RxNorm.  As I was going through this journey of discovery, I thought to myself that it might be a good idea to share my findings and experiences with others who might also be looking into using RxNorm and UMLS to enhance or improve their clinical interoperability.

So, to that end, I have created the first of, in what I hope will be, a series of Screen Casts that provide some insight into UMLS and RxNorm.

(Video should work in all browsers but requires the Quicktime plug-in)

Basic Clinical Interoperability with RxNorm - Screencast

Special thanks Jan Willis and the other folks at NLM for their feedback.

Great screencast- your short intro gave a good sample of the complexities involved in the mappings between code systems.

Nice job. Very useful. Would love to see more of these types of 15 min quick tutorials.

Excellent job, Charlie, as usual, in de-obfuscating an important tool. 15 minutes is perfect for those of us with short attention spans. Now I can say "RXCONSO" out loud and it has a Jedi ring to it. Thanks to John P for the link.
