I have updated the OID descriptions as noted below.

Marc's corrections for AIGc and AIGn have been included however, for consistency with the UTG project, the descriptions for hcAIC was updated to the description that Health Canada provided. Also, while the NPN does include the DIN-HM codes, Health Canada refers to the entire set as the Health Canada Natural Product Number (NPN).

Best regards,
Joan Harper

*Note: Contains "boardcode", recommend viewing on forum. Plain text email will not show corrections properly.

I have some concerns:
1. AIC: The updated description referring to foreign keys of various tables is inappropriate. The current description is better.

2. AIGc: The updated description should read: “Codes for a particular grouping of active ingredients. This is the 5 characters of the active ingredient code group number starting at position 3 and ending at position 7…”

3. AIGn: The updated description should read: “The AIG number is a 10 digit number that identifies products that have the same active ingredient(s) and ingredient strength(s). The AIGn is comprised of three portions:…”

4. NPN: The updated description refers to a DIN-HM. Are NPN and DIN-HM considered to be part of the same code system (2.16.840.1.113883.5.1107)? If yes, heading should be updated to NPN/DIN-HM (2.16.840.1.113883.5.1107).

I also want to point out that several years ago (back in the SCWG days), the AIGc and AIGn were rejected as pan-Canadian standards mainly due to the fact that they are (were?) auto-generated numbers with no human review. This may have changed or may no longer be relevant, but I wanted to point it out. We want to ensure that these code systems are managed/governed as code systems should be as much as possible.

Regards,
Marc

We met with Daniel Buijs from Health Canada yesterday to review all of the Health Canada Code Systems - (CCDD, DIN, NPN, AIGn, AIGc, AIC). In the course of that conversation, we received updated information for the Code Systems - mainly updated email addresses, updated descriptions, and links for more information.

On Nov 13, we plan to update the metadata in the OID Registry for these code systems as follows:
