Canada Health Infoway has developed a FHIR representation of CCDD, which can be viewed at: https://ontoserver.csiro.au/shrimp/launch.html?iss=https://terminologystandardsservice.ca/fhir

The CCDD FHIR representation contains supplemental property codes, as defined in the Health Canada Drug Product Database (DPD), managed by Health Canada, as follows:

• Anatomical Therapeutical Chemical (ATC): The purpose of the ATC classification system is to be used as a tool for drug utilization research to improve the quality of drug use.

• Biosimilar: Identifies biosimilar products.

• Pediatric: Identifies pediatric products.

• Schedule: Each drug is assigned one or more schedules according to the Food and Drug Regulations and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Further information on the supplemental properties may be obtained by reviewing the information at https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/drug-products/drug-product-database.html or by emailing pharma_drug_enquiries-renseignements_medicaments_pharma@hc-sc.gc.ca
