-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 inconsistencyOne of them could be dropped +Relevant table: http://www.ohdsi.org/​web/​wiki/​doku.php?​id=documentation:​cdm:drug_exposure
- +
-Alternatively,​ we could split them into two different meanings:+

-|drug_exposure_end_date|Yes|date|The end date for the current instance of Drug utilization. Depending on different sources, ​but it denotes the last day at which the patient was still exposed to drug.|+|drug_exposure_end_date|Yes|date|The end date for the current instance of Drug utilization. Depending on different sources, it could be a known or an inferred date and denotes the last day at which the patient was still exposed to drug.|
 |days_supply|No|integer|The number of days of supply of the medication as prescribed. This reflects the intention of the provider for the length of exposure.| |days_supply|No|integer|The number of days of supply of the medication as prescribed. This reflects the intention of the provider for the length of exposure.|
 +|verbatim_end_date|No|date|The known end date of a drug exposure as provided by the source.|
 +
 +The verbatim_end_dat field is only necessary as the drug_exposure_end_date becomes mandatory, and might be (wrongly) inferred. In cases where no good data are available to fill that end_date, the ETL will have to take a guess, and that may not satisfy some algorithms for dose calculation. ​
