Problem Statement

Synthea (and the MDT) assign drugs to medication orders regardless of the synthetic patients' prescription history/active medication list. In order to accurately simulate prescribing patterns/standard of practice to avoid therapeutic duplications, we need to develop a feature that accounts for this decision pathway.

Criteria for Success

  • Add drug class into our MDT outputs
  • Maybe need a lookup table of NDCs to drug classes or ingredients, so that we can label or join Synthea's medication list with drug classes
  • Find/use Synthea's medication list table and add logic to prevent therapeutic duplications

Additional Information

MITRE (company who developed and maintains Synthea) flagged this (and general contraindication logic) as an important feature they'd like to see added
