[Objective] This paper examines the current reimbursable prescription drugs list and creates a national prescription drugs catalog for the new rural cooperative medical system (NCMS). [Methods] We modified the technology framework of the Unified Medical Language System and used the mapping algorithms to aggregate the multi-source list of reimbursable prescription drugs. [Results] We designed the data structure and directory-mapping algorithm, for the integrated NCMS drugs catalog. [Limitations] More research was needed to analyze interactions among these drugs. [Conclusions] The proposed method helps us develop a list of reimbursable drugs from multiple sources. This new system solves the existing problems of data dictionary aggregation.
