==Purpose==
In an effort to improve the quality of the HL7 Vocabulary database, a Vocabulary Correction reporting Wiki are has been established.  This area will act as the reporting and history mechanism for submitting, tracking and monitoring of Vocbulary and Vocabulary Correction issues.

==Process==
A Vocabulary Technical Correction issue may be opened by anyone.

'''To open a Vocabulary Technical Correction issue:'''

#Create a wiki page (or using an existing wiki page on which the issue is already being discussed)
#Ensure the wiki page reflects the core of the issue, rationale as to why the issue needs to be resolved, and if possible, a suggested resolution
#Flag it as a Vocabulary Correction by inserting ''<nowiki>{{Vocabulary Correction}}</nowiki>'' as the first line of text of the wiki discussion
#Send an e-mail to the [[mailto:vocab@lists.hl7.org| Vocabulary list]] with the subject line "Vocabulary Correction: <some descriptive label>" and include a summary of the issue along with a link to the Wiki page

'''Resolution process:'''
*Vocabulary Corrections will be reviewed on a regular basis on Vocabulary TC conference calls and at Harmonization meetings.
*The Vocabulary Correction for discussion at a given conference call or meeting will be governed by several considerations
**Whether the wiki discussion seems to be close to reconcilliation
**Whether there has been progress on the list servers and/or wiki since the issue was last discussed
**Whether the principle participants in the discussion are available to discuss the Vocabulary Correction
*Results of Vocabulary Correction discussions will be posted to the [mailto:vocab@lists.hl7.org| Vocabulary list]]
*Upon resolution, a Vocabulary Correction will be either categorized as 
**'''resolved''' - if there are further outstanding actions to be taken by MnM or other committees, or
**'''closed''' - if all action items have been completed
*Vocabulary will monitor the Vocabulary Correction Reporting for revisions categorized as ''resolved'' with a view to seeing them move to ''closed'' as soon as feasible.
