When an Affiliate completes their application, the usage report can be filled out without completing all of the information. The IHTSDO or Member NRC admin reviews the application and will request additional usage information be completed if required. The Affiliate will see reminder messages that indicate when reports need to be submitted.
After the initial usage report submission, towards the end of every year, and if applicable, the Affiliate will receive a notification via email that they need to provide a report on the current and planned usage of SNOMED CT in non-member countries, and any member countries they have registered with through the MLDS.
If for some reason an affiliate wants to correct a usage report that has been submitted, they must first retract the usage report. They can do this by clicking on the usage report they wish to change and then click the Retract Declaration Button. They can then amend their changes and submit. Any previously submitted Usage reports for the same time period will be superseded.
