I would recommend having the team do some interviews with power users of this functions. @ball, @ayeung, and @arbaughj are pretty active on these forums, but I hope you can also find more non-US-based people.

I’m not an authority, but my major initial reaction is that I would prefer for reference terms to be logically grouped underneath the source they belong to. I.e. there’s no “browse all reference terms” but rather you click into SNOMED-CT and then you’re browsing the reference terms in the SNOMED source. And then you have an _Add_ button that lets you add a SNOMED term.

(Conceivably one might want to _search_ across all reference terms.)

A few of my comments in this post refer to Reference Terms: [Concept Dictionary OWA 1.0.0-beta released!](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/concept-dictionary-owa-1-0-0-beta-released/5699/6) (Actually, reading that I didn’t say much about reference terms)
