Working with clinicians - group discussion

ALL

• Fortnightly meetings

• 2 weeks for each round of review. Discussion on that review held 2 weeks after that. Allows time for collation of results.

• Group to start the next review whilst results of previous review being collated.

• Spreadsheet:

  • Development of instructions and an explanation content for reviewers

    • Include description conventions for awareness e.g. FSN. Also noting countries can add localised terms.

  • Potential for additional columns for local and consumer terms (use at a national only level) -only for use where desired at a national level. Management of this information needs to be considered as not used by SNOMED International.

  • Keep number of concepts for review at a reasonable level. Split areas into subsections if required.

• Training for clinicians on SNOMED CT? Updated needed please.

• Questions from clinicians during the review- approach to be used? Email or post on discussion section of site. Paul to advise on preference.
