Clinical engagement at SNOMED International is changing! SNOMED International continues to evolve its approach to clinical engagement with the newly created Virtual Clinical Reference Groups. To enable continuous development of SNOMED CT, it is critical that its clinical content is relevant and up to date. To do this, we rely on input from both clinicians and clinical groups internationally.
Why should clinicians continue their contributions as SIGs transition to Virtual Clinical Reference Groups? Engaging via Virtual Clinical Groups provides Reference Groups provides clinicians with a mechanism to ensure that the content required by clinicians is included in SNOMED CT quickly and accurately.
The SIGs will formally retire on April 13, 2017 with the launch of the Virtual Clinical Reference Groups. Once the Virtual Clinical Group pages Reference Groups pages are established on Confluence, the existing membership for each SIG will be migrated across. Please visit the Virtual Clinical Group Reference Groups Confluence page to learn more, or contact the Clinical Engagement Team with your questions concerning approach and participation.
