Nick

• Focus of Nursing CRG - implementation, building on the content work undertaken as part of the SNOMED/ICN agreement

• Example of approach from the UK & Ireland

• Time to work on exploitation of the terminologies focusing on nursing contributions to the EHR, alongside requirements for specific nursing information, patient care

• SNOMED International commencing a Sex & Gender Project Group (task and finish), would be helpful to have nursing representation on group but must have relevant expertise.

• Similarly, nursing input into the Diabetes project would also be beneficial

• Group leadership - for discussion at next meeting

• Meeting schedule - suggested monthly, for final agreement at next meeting
