D. Pertel

The CRG supported working on the Feeding and dietary regime (regime/therapy) project first since the expertise for this project is present on the CRG, it will be a bit more straight forward project, and learning about the SNOMED processes for this project will happen before tackling a more difficult project such as the products subhierarchy. @Former user (Deleted) offered to assist with the dietary regime portion of the project. Other individuals are welcome to join in this work, so please reach out to dpertel@eatright.org to be involved.

SNOMED Updates

05.1 SNOMED Briefing note review

05.2 Inactivation of content containing Patient

D. Pertel

E. Wooler

The briefing notes released in August were reviewed. Comment on one briefing note related to Racial and Ethnic groups was revised to: Provide support for an approach to collect this information only when it is useful and needed for care. When standardized definitions can be identified, that would facilitate improved interoperability.

The item, Inactivation of content containing Patient, was not covered and will be carried over to the next meeting due to time constraints.
