• Evaluation and feedback reports

• Priority commitments
• Recognized requirements for enhancement
• Options - new modules on specific topic, different levels of detail, making modules optional, specific courses for different audiences, addressing specific competencies
• Practical limitations - development, course management (admin and logistics), interactive session delivery, clarity of completion certification

• Allocation of attendees to breakout groups and overview of group topics
• Audiences to be addressed by each group

• Practical approach to breakout work

The following four audience groups have been identified as initial target groups for more focused courses.

1. Clinical professional leaders and users approaching SNOMED CT from the perspective of how effective implementation can assist their work in delivering high quality care to individual patients and groups with particular health needs.
2. System designers and software developers engaged in development of clinical or related systems that would benefit from effective use of SNOMED CT as part of those systems.
3. Managers and advisors engaged in adoption and/or procurement of applications and information systems that would benefit from making effective use of SNOMED CT.
4. Information analysts and others engaged in designing and using systems that could make use of SNOMED CT to deliver more comprehensive and consistent data that enhances understanding of patterns or disease, population health needs and treatment outcomes. Thus enabling planning and cost-effective delivery of high-quality health services.

• Opportunity for interim sharing of information on progress in the Breakout groups. Issues raised and possible refocusing of approach for second breakout session.

• Continuing work from morning session ... or depending on the report back session working with an extended or refocused scope.

• This session focuses on education and training requirements for those developing SNOMED CT content (including Extensions).
