The Drug Extension Implementation Support Group is a community driven group established by SNOMED International to provide support to implementers of the SNOMED CT drug extension model.
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 implementers 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 goal of this group is:
- To enable the successful implementation of national SNOMED CT drug extension models, that meet the requirements of both national use and cross-border data sharing.

- Actively implementing the SNOMED CT drug extension model,
