Learn how to update your Vault’s configuration to enable the MedDRA auto-code feature.
Note: As of 20R2, the MedDRA auto-code control is automatically deployed and replaces the legacy MedDRA fields. This enablement page is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
About the Feature
MedDRA auto-coding was added in Vault Safety 20R1. Upgraded Vaults must perform the following configuration changes to enable this feature.
To support MedDRA auto-coding, this feature adds a new combined MedDRA control to replace the previously separate reported term and MedDRA term fields. You must add this field to layouts to enable this feature.
The new control allows users to automatically code MedDRA terms using the reported term. The following image shows the combined MedDRA control before entering a term:
