Drug Extension Support Group

The Drug Extension Support Group is a community driven group established by SNOMED International to provide support to implementers of a SNOMED CT drug extension.

Objectives

The main objectives of this group are:

To provide implementers of the SNOMED CT drug extension model with a forum through which they can share their real world experiences, challenges and questions, with other stakeholders and SNOMED International.
To provide SNOMED International with a forum through which we can better understand how to assist implementers of the SNOMED CT drug extension model.

Goals

The primary goals of this group is:

To enable the successful implementation of national SNOMED CT drug extensions, that meet the requirements of both national use and cross-border data sharing.
To enable the successful interoperability between national SNOMED CT drug extensions and other pharmacy standards required for national or cross-border data sharing.

Membership

This group is open to any stakeholder from the SNOMED CT community who is actively using, planning to use, or interested in potentially using the SNOMED CT drug extension model.

Meetings

Meetings will typically include the opportunity for one or more participants to explain the plans and objectives of a relevant pharmacy project that they are directly involved in, and to then start a discussion about any questions or challenges they are facing as part of this project. Similar discussions incorporating lessons learnt from established projects are also anticipated.

Meetings will initially be held every two weeks. However, the frequency of meetings may be adjusted to meet the needs of the group.

The first meeting will be held on Thursday 29th October 2020 at 11:00 UTC.

Chairs

The group will initially be co-chaired by Linda Bird (SNOMED International) and Julie James (UK).
