Introducing the Modelling Forum

• National Content Modelling Discussion Forum

  • Set up of a national forum where national authors can raise modelling queries.  Would be for the NRC's by the NRC's. SNOMED International may comment, support. Freshdesk query responses only seen by the requestor and there could be others with questions. An avenue to share knowledge. Could be a standing item on CMAG agenda.

  • Feedback during meeting
    • Supported by attendees
    • (GE) Discussions can take time, so an agenda item may not provide enough time. A separate meeting may be a better option.
    • (TA) Good idea. Supports comments by (GE)
    • (EG) Supports as well. Query on international content, could that be brought that way. Time taken to report issues is time consuming. 
    • (MB) CRS required for issues on international content. Provides us with an audit trail. Supported by (CR)
    • (LM) Question on structure of forum. Agreed on idea. 
    • (CR) Will have a site somewhere. Could be a Freshdesk Forum or a site on Confluence. Options to be explored. Needs to be something where models could be posted. Also need to consider how best viewed publicly. Will come back to group on options. Can be brought to meetings as required.
