How will the dermatology community be involved with the Lexicon project?
A lexicon is only useful if it meets the needs of the specialty it serves and requires the ongoing involvement of experts across a wide spectrum. The DLP has an advisory board consisting of experts in the field of medical informatics who provide feedback on the overall structure of the DLP. Also, dermatologists throughout the United States have participated in the DLP in a variety of ways. Our 12 consultants provide feedback on goals and objectives and assist in furthering our goals and objectives in the dermatology community. Dermatologists also serve as Expert Editors by drafting discrete sections of the Lexicon based on their area of expertise or review sections drafted internally.
