Description | This project will create a Release of a US Realm implementation guide for immunization messaging. The document will cover both submission of vaccination events as well as bi-directional query and response. The bulk of the content will originate from an existing implementation guide (Release 1.5) published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA). Release 1.5 is the latest in a series of related implementation guides published by CDC and AIRA. Release 1.5 is currently called out in the latest round of Meaningful Use and EHR certification regulations. The first document in this series was originally balloted through HL7 as a 'for comment only' document but later documents in the series have not been balloted through HL7. This project will restore the content of the immunization v2 implementation guide to an HL7 balloted document. We anticipate the need for a second round of STU to account for the implementation experiences of the immunization community while implementing Meaningful Use Stage 3/MACRA.

Project Intent | Implementation Guide |
Project Need | The most recent Meaningful Use/MACRA and EHR certification regulations reference Release 1.5 of the CDC/AIRA implementation guide. The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) has expressed a strong preference to reference SDO balloted documents in regulation. The PHER work group has expressed a strong interest in balloting existing specifications referenced in regulations that are currently not HL7 balloted. This project will transfer the content of the existing non-HL7 balloted document to a new HL7-balloted document to meet these purposes. |

Lineage | A series of Implementation Guides for Immunizations has been evolving over the last decade. The latest of these documents is Release 1.5 (v2.5.1) which will provide most of the content for this new document. The first of these guides was balloted through HL7 as a 'for comment only' document. Note that we may request the document to begin at 'Release 2' to avoid confusion in the immunization community regarding the existing Release 1.5 document (and predecessors). |
Dependancies | There are no current dependencies on existing HL7 projects. |
