Representing nursing in SNOMED CT Proposal for TR or Guideline
Rationale Requirement for targeted introduction to more technical IHTSDO documentation – relevant to SIG constituency Multiple separate ‘guidance’ documents covering much of nursing domain with the same target audiences: 1. nursing community with ICT or terminology interest 2. suppliers working on nursing functionality on EPRs 3. terminologists (especially IHTSDO community) working with nursing concepts Bringing together would help identify gaps, make it easier to manage our work and help maintain links to general IHTSDO editorial policies / guidelines
