Scope

nhn:melde/biovigilans

Nokup

The Biovigilance report data fields contains code values from a code standard called Nokup. Nokup is short for 'Norsk kodeverk for uønskede pasienthendelser' (Norwegian code standard for adverse patient incidents). The code standard is a generic standard, but is only used by the Biovigilance report area. It consists of a number of codes with corresponding descriptions, structured in multiple levels.

Users of melde.no will be able to select codes interactively from drop down lists and check boxes in the web form based on the code descriptions. However, when the interface is an API the user interactivity is lost. Therefore there is a separate endpoint used to lookup Nokup codes. Details about that endpoint is found here.
