Nursing Clinical Reference Group

The SNOMED International Nursing Clinical Reference Group is a community of practice for the clinicians focused on nursing.

The role of all Clinical Reference Groups is to provide a forum to discuss issues, and influence the development and improvement of content in SNOMED CT.

The Nursing Clinical Reference Group has been established to ensure that the requirements of the international nursing community are incorporated into the content of SNOMED CT International Release, and also to support the development of derivative products that will support implementations focused on the nursing and nursing documentation.
