HL7 Domain Analysis Model: Immunization, Release 1
DESCRIPTION
The Immunization Domain Analysis Model is a document that is intended to paint a picture of the domain around immunization. This includes the types of immunization data important in clinical medicine and public heath, the interactions between health information systems regarding immunization which support these efforts. It seeks to provide a framework to support HL7 efforts in messaging, documents and services.
The HL7 Domain Analysis Model: Immunization, Release 1 is a UML model representing the structural and behavioral requirements of PHER sponsored projects in the immunization domain. It will illustrate the information and processing requirements of the immunization domain from a variety of perspectives. The DAM does not include information about vaccine development. Additionally, the product information pertaining to vaccination comes from the perspective of vaccine administration. Vaccine inventory management is in scope because it is a critical function of Immunization Information Systems (IIS).
ALTERNATIVE NAMES
HL7 Domain Analysis Model: Immunization, Release 1 may also go by the following names or acronyms:

BENEFITS
- Provides a reference for mapping between components of preventive health care that may be found on many different health information systems

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
Immunization is an important component of preventive health care. Immunization information may be found on many different health information systems. Successful interoperable communication between these systems is required to optimize timely and appropriate immunization. HL7 has developed a number of artifacts, which support this interoperability. These include Version 2 Implementation Guides, Version 3 messages, services and documents. This DAM will provide a reference for mapping between these and facilitate support of the needs of the clinical community regarding immunization. Like immunization, public health is linked to many areas of health care the associated health information systems. For this reason, the Public Health and Emergency Response (PHER) work group is leading this effort to develop a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) of the broad range of areas related to immunization.
