Thanks to all who participated in the HL7 Public Health and Emergency Response (PHER) Working Group’s Immunization Days in Phoenix to take an inter-effort approach to addressing issues using a single use case.  We were able to accomplish a great deal in our 3 inter-group quarters on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Some of our results include:

• PHER and SOA project to find a way to bind the Immunization DAM to specific HL7 messages, services and documents proposed
• PHER participation in Pharmacy Common Product Model project
• PHER to comment on CareRecord and Clinical Statement DSTUs to make compatible with POIZ
• PHER to collaborate with CDS on CareRecord comments related to decision support
 

The sessions were so productive that we decided we’d like to do this again in Vancouver.  Draft agenda for Vancouver - click Read More.
