Hello Choi,

As you mentioned in the paper, you are using AHFS classification to group the NDC codes. I wonder if you still have that mapping table? (Or direct me a some way to find the table)
I am doing a related work but can't find the table anywhere online.

Thank you!

Hi UnknownPHD,

Thanks for taking interest in our work.
Grouping the NDC codes was conducted by the Pharmacy IT people of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHoA). I was also wondering how they grouped the medication codes, so I asked them, and the they told me their EHR system (Epic) seemed to use AHFS to classify the medications.
So, unfortunately, I don't have the mapping table.
And according to the AFHS website, it seems AHFS classification system is a proprietary product, so I doubt you can find it online for free.
Hope this helps.

Best,
Ed
