- NRCs are required to serve as primary points of contact for SNOMED International with regards to all aspects of the management of the terminology products.
- NRCs are the primary points of contact for Affiliates within a Member country.
- Affiliates should be able to contact the NRC for guidance and direction with respect to implementation and use of SNOMED CT within the Member country.
- The NRCs should serve as intermediaries between the Affiliates and the SNOMED CT community, for example:
- Encouraging experts and other appropriate persons to contribute to the work of SNOMED International;
- Assisting SNOMED International to communicate with Affiliates and experts entitled to and wishing to be enrolled as SNOMED International Affiliates.
- NRCs are required to establish and maintain processes necessary for distribution and licensing of SNOMED CT and the other terminology products.
- This includes developing the appropriate mechanisms for users to gain access to National (where applicable) and International Editions of SNOMED CT and related products, and mechanisms to retrieve and manage Affiliate licenses. (See section 9 on tooling for process support.)
- This includes managing license reporting annually and reporting Affiliates' activities in non-Member countries to SNOMED International.
- NRCs are required to ensure that any deployment of a terminology product owned by SNOMED International conforms to SNOMED International standards.
- NRCs must facilitate feedback from users on SNOMED CT, including managing change requests.
