Re: [COI] CT#8 Drug Information Needed for Test Case Query

Dear Helen,

I'd be very interested in how you get on. I can't see how to extract a 
SNOMED-CT ID from RxNorm in the navigator, but I'm sure it can be done 
from the dataset.

More generally, I'm interested why you didn't use drug names from 
something like Pubmed (I'm sure there's a reason - I just don't know 
what it is).

Thanks,

Matt
