| If the days_supply and the drug_exposure_end_date fields essentially designate the same thing they are therefore duplicates of the same information and create the danger of of inconsistency. One of them could be dropped. | If the days_supply and the drug_exposure_end_date fields essentially designate the same thing they are therefore duplicates of the same information and create the danger of of inconsistency.

| + | * The drug_exposure_end_date denotes the day the drug exposure ended for the patient. This could be that the duration of drug_supply was reached (in which case drug_exposure_end_date = drug_exposure_start_date + days_supply -1), or because the exposure was stopped (medication changed, medication discontinued, etc.) | ||
