SNOMED Documentation Search
The best way to organize an NRC depends on a wide range of factors, including the number of potential Affiliates, the vision and strategy for use of SNOMED CT in the country, the national eHealth infrastructure, the extent of customization, etc. But Members of IHTSDO are, at a minimum, required to fulfill a set of core responsibilities within the Member's territory, as shown in Figure 2 and specified in the Articles of Association. Typically, the NRC fulfills most of these obligations, however a Member may make other arrangements to fulfill some of these the obligations.
The Articles of Association for IHTSDO can be found here: http://snomed.org/articles.pdf

The reporting period for use in Non-Member territories may change from 6 monthly to annual if proposed changes to licensing are adopted by IHTSDO. |
Besides these areas, there is a range of other responsibilities that the NRC can may decide to undertake. The table below lists a set of possible responsibility areas. The list is not exhaustive but includes the main areas that NRCs currently cover. Some of the areas are marked as "Required," as these are part of the core responsibility areas.
