Target Audience
The target audience for this Starter Guide includes people from various disciplines
who may be involved at any point in the
information management cycle – from initial planning, clinical content definition
and implementation through to use of the resulting clinical information. This spans
people involved with planning and deciding to proceed and resource a
implementation, people involved in reference set development, terminology management,
technical implementation and all aspects of deployment and use. It also includes people
involved in clinical information retrieval, analyses, decision support and other aspects
of knowledge representation. The characteristics common to all members of the target
audience are that they have a reason for wanting to understand
and are seeking a high-level initial overview of topics of which they need to be
aware. The Starter Guide does not provide in depth knowledge but does provide an informative
and authoritative foundation on which to build.
