[{"id": "", "description": "BNF codes in PIS are a coding/classification system developed by NHS England and based around the document numbering system of the BNF and extended to give unique codes down to preparation level. \ne.g. BNF item code 0601011A0BBADAC \n \nChapter 6: Endocrine System \nSection 1: Drugs used in diabetes \nSubsection 1: Insulins \nParagraph 1: Short-acting insulins \nUnique code: In this case gives the information that this is insulin aspart, Novorapid\u00ae Flexpen\u00ae, prefilled disposable injection device, 100 units/ml, 3mls \nThe BNF hierarchy in use is based upon the BNF edition published in the preceding September.  Codes are updated in line with that but codes/hierarchies that no longer appear in the published BNF are retained in the BNF classification that we use.  In addition, the hierarchy is built into the code and so, where there are a large number of drugs and preparations within a particular area of the hierarchy, there can be too many to be coded into that hierarchy.  In these cases, additional codes and hierarchies not actually present in the published BNF can be created. Items found in the appendices of the BNF (e.g. nutritional supplements) will usually appear in additional chapters created in the BNF hierarchy.", "name": "BNF - British National Formulary Drug Codes", "dataElementsCount": 11, "dataElements": [{"id": "", "description": "Item description, detailing the chemical substance", "name": "BNF Root Drug Description", "type": "PrimitiveType"}, {"id": "", "description": "The chapter in which the item appears", "name": "BNF Chapter Description", "type": "PrimitiveType"}, {"id": "", "description": "The section in which the item appears", "name": "BNF Section Description", "type": "PrimitiveType"}, {"id": "", "description": "The paragraph in which the item appears can be used to derive BNF chapter, section and subsection", "name": "BNF Paragraph Code", "type": "PrimitiveType"}, {"id": "", "description": "The sub-section in which the item appears", "name": "BNF Sub Section Description", "type": "PrimitiveType"}, {"id": "", "description": "A 15 digit code.
