Purpose

This document provides an overview of available standards and a recommended approach to support the requirements identified below.  The intent is to simplify standards selection decisions in future projects and, in turn, to promote standardization of solutions across projects by providing useful information to support decision making in a readily consumable format. 

Content in this guide was generated through a document review of immunization related messaging in different versions of the pan-Canadian messaging specifications and HL7 v2 to provide an accessible overview of the standards considered and selected to support the immunization related requirements.  Detailed requirements and discussion of standards localization decisions can be found on InfoCentral.
