Architectural Constraints and Considerations

Secondary Benefits

Both options were designed to support Panaroma's data model.

Using pan-Canadian terminology subsets supports inter-jurisdictional interoperability.  SNOMED CT’s terminology model can be leveraged to support aggregation and analysis of the information captured within vaccination records.

Recommendation

Supporting Rationale

It is recommended that new implementations adopt the custom reference value sets developed by Ontario.

The pan-Canadian Public Health Immunization Subsets reflect Canadian requirements (e.g. Canadian vaccine lists), and is aligned with the PHAC Canadian Immunization Guide. It is being adopted in additional projects across Canada (including AB, SK, MB, Canadian Forces, CIHI), so additional implementations that adopt the Ontario standard will be well positioned for interoperability with these groups or organizations.
