# Personnel

Mapping requires a multidisciplinary group of people to:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Develop the map**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Undertake the actual mapping**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify content**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Test**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Document**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Release**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

A wide range of expertise is required for the development of a map including:

| Expertise                          | Details                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Clinical subject matter expertise  | Clinical expertise of the discipline and the way that the result of the map will be used in clinical practice (including workflow).Provide decisions on the clinical safety and appropriateness of the results of each individual map |
| Source code system expertise       | Expertise and understanding of the source scope, coverage, purpose, content and structure                                                                                                                                             |
| Target code system expertise       | Expertise and understanding of the target scope, coverage, purpose, content and structure                                                                                                                                             |
| Technical implementation expertise | Expertise and understanding of the implementations where the source data originates, the target data will be used and the automated processes used to transform the data from source to target                                        |
| Administrative expertise           | Management of the process and project, ensuring repeatability, quality, risk management and consistency                                                                                                                               |

## Requirements for mappers (and reviewers)

Personnel doing the mapping (mappers) should:

* understand and be able to apply the structure, content and relationships for the source and target code systems
* understand the purpose of the map
* understand the way the map will be implemented
* understand the processes associated with new releases of the source and target code systems
