The role of the Clinical Reference Gr= oup is to provide a mechanism for sharing clinical expertise and exper= ience, as it pertains to the enhancement of SNOMED CT=E2=80=99s c= linical content. The group aims to create a virtual community focused on a = clinical specialty topic area.
The group will provide a mechanism fo= r:

Each Clinical Reference Group is accountable to the Clinical Coor= dination Group, comprised of members of the Clinical Engagement team and a = Management Board member.
All Clinical Reference Groups have an open membership. Whilst = a group may be targeted at a specific clinical specialty, there will also b= e the need to cover cross-cutting topics which will drawn in input from mul= tiple specialties. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in that&nb= sp;clinical area/topic. We actively support the inclusion of vendors and im= plementers as part of a group, to encourage the development of both content= and derivative products that can easily and quickly be used within systems= and meet requirements being identified.
Whilst the Clinical Reference Groups by their very nature are vir= tual, SNOMED International will also support teleconferences on specific is= sues. Details of the process for doing this are included on each Clinical Reference Group Confluence pa= ge.
In addition, if the group identifies = a requirement to meet face to face in order to deliver items specifically r= equired for the SNOMED International workplan, this should be documented by= the group and forwarded to the Clinical Coordination Group for consid= eration.
The Clinical Reference Groups = span>will operate predominately as a community of practice, supporting disc= ussions on specific topics. As such, the group will have no formal chair. I= n the initial stages of the group, it is expected that discussion items wil= l be generated by group members and by SNOMED International staff. Overtime= the expectation is that individuals from within the group will take on a m= ore active role identifying discussions items, although SNOMED Internationa= l may still ask for expert advice and feedback from the group. Over ti= me a leadership role may be identified as a requirement.
Clinical Reference Groups will be put in place where there is = a clear use case requirement. Requirements will be reviewed by the Cli= nical Coordination Group, and the decision made on group creation. If over = time the group becomes inactive, a decision will be made by the Clinic= al coordination Group whether to continue with support of the group, or whe= ther to close the group.
The Clinical Coordination Group will =
provide oversight and input into the Cli=
nical Reference Groups. There are no formal reporting requirements between the Clinical Reference Group, however the Clinical Coordination Group will o=
versee and report on the activities of all Virtual Clinical groups to the S=
NOMED International Management Team. The Clinical Coordination Group will s=
upply the Management Team with a quarterly review of the activities of all =
the Clinical Reference Groups, wh=
ich will include recommendations for future work items identified by the Clinical Reference Groups. In addit=
ion, suggestions for work items from the Clinical Reference Groups will be reviewed by the Clinica=
l Coordination Group, who will make recommendations on how to proceed with =
the suggestions. If the suggestion is to move forward as a forma=
l work item, the Clinical Coordination Group will manage and support t=

The ways of working of the Clinical Reference Groups support inclusive= ness, through the open membership and by encouraging all members to take a = active role within group discussions.
Al= l the Clinical Reference Groups&n= bsp;are allocated a home page within Confluence. These pages are available = to view by anyone, irrespective of whether you are logged into Confluence. = However, to take an active part in the group discussions, individuals must = have a Confluence account, and must be logged into Confluence. This ensure = that all comments and discussions are attributed to the individual that cre= ated them.

The SNOMED International Clinical Eng= agement Team will work to provide any required moderation for Clinical Reference Groups, reviewing ongoing= discussions, ensuring discussions are inclusive and dealing with SNOMED In= ternational specific points. If points are raised within discussions that a= re sensitive to individuals or organisations, SNOMED International res= erve the right to discuss with the contributor and removing the point throu= gh mutual agreement.
The following process will be followe= d for clinical priorities arising from the clinical community.
These ways of working are expected= to be revised on an ongoing basis as Cl= inical Reference Groups become more established, and we gain a = greater understanding of internal and external drivers and gain= feedback.
