hey - not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, but i'm just looking for general information on how users of Medplum generate their drug formulary (i.e. MedicatonKnowledge FHIR resources) - particularly for customers that don't use major commercial drug databases (i.e. people that try to use RxNorm / NDC instead of FDB / Medispan). i read the relevant documentation that i could find (https://www.medplum.com/docs/medications/formulary) but would also be happy to be pointed to other docs to review. more or less, i'm just curious - but also wondering what my org can do to make this easier since we are building an open drug data aggregator that can also transform open drug data into different views / flatfiles to possibly automate some of this work. thanks in advance for any insights!

Welcome @Joey! Excited to see a company focus on building an open standards based drug formulary. I believe there is a great need out there. As for the databases, we are working on a Terminology service - that would be where the codesystems like RxNorm and NDC might reside. Here is the discussion on it https://github.com/medplum/medplum/discussions/1411
