HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Why Participate?
(What’s the value proposition for clinical participation?)
As a clinical terminology, it is essential that SNOMED CT contains clinical content that is relevant and up to date. To assist SNOMED International, we rely on input from clinicians and clinical groups internationally. From a participant perspective, engaging through the VCG's provides a mechanism to ensure that the content required by clinicians is included in SNOMED CT quickly and accurately. The VCG's also provide a mechanism to develop solutions to support clinicians in their day to day practice
Who can participate?
Participation in VCG's are targeted towards clinicians with an interest in the specialty area. However, the groups are open to all, and we would encourage implementers specifically to engage through these forum
How to create a group
- If you are interested in creating a group email info@snomed.org. The Clinical Engagement team will liaise with clinicians/clinical groups wishing to create a group to confirm criteria/requirements for VCG
- Once the criteria/requirements for VCG are confined, they will be reviewed and agreed by the Clinical Coordination Group
- If agreed, a Confluence site will be created
- Notification of the new VCG will then be published to clinicians, clinical groups and other potential stakeholders
