Steps to install/upgrade the RxNorm database

  1. Copy the zipped RxNorm database file into the 'contrib/rxnorm' directory (this file can be downloaded from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/rxnorm/docs/rxnormfiles.html; note you'll need to get an account and that only the Full Monthly Releases currently work)
  2. In OpenEMR, go to Administration->Other->RxNorm in order to then install/upgrade the RxNorm database.

Steps to install/upgrade the SNOMED database

  1. Copy the zipped SNOMED database file into the 'contrib/snomed' directory (this file can be downloaded from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/licensedcontent/snomedctfiles.html; note you'll need to get an account and that only the biannual International Release currently works)
  2. In OpenEMR, go to Administration->Other->SNOMED in order to then install/upgrade the SNOMED database.
