Data inaccuracies
Endpoints
- Restrictions
- Within the restrictions API endpoint, the SCHEDULE_HTML_TEXT contains incorrect formatting. These fields combine both Schedule and LI text information. For information on how to combine restriction elements refer to the document ‘Restrictions: Piecing together Restrictions fragments’ found in the PBS API Resources section.
- Item dispensing rule relationships
- Mark-up bands that apply to individual items are not reported on the ‘item-dispensing-rule-relationships’ endpoint. The Department is creating an SQL query to match the text files for this information until this information is included in that endpoint.
- Items
- The Originator_brand_indicator values may be incorrect.
- The drug_name field within the items endpoint and item-overview endpoint may not be a 1-1 match for the MP AMT preferred term as shown on the amt-items endpoint. A future enhancement will make clearer the differences in description.
- Summary of changes
- Within the SQL_statement field in the summary-of-changes API endpoint, references to the field PRESCRIBING_TXT_HTML actually display as PRSCRBG_TXT_HTML
