HL7 V3 Immunizations specification was designed to support the immunization use cases in a manner consistent with the design principles of Canada's digital health blueprint. The CeRx specification has been superseded by the Immunizations specification for the use cases above. | Version 3 uses rigorous analytic and message building techniques and eliminates areas of optionality that could negatively impact semantic interoperability. | ||||||||||||||||
Recommendation | Supporting Rationale | ||||||||||||||||
Area 3
Description.
It is recommended that new implementations adopt Immunization HL7 V3.0 for immunization. | The specification was designed to meet the in-scope use cases and conforms with the architectural design of Canada's digital health blueprint. | |||||||
