Sponsorship or Resources Needed

The work is understood, but advancement requires funding, staff capacity, organizational prioritization, or leadership sponsorship.

Overview

Uses HL7 v2 ADT messages to communicate patient demographic updates to IIS. This can improve data quality by keeping patient records current without requiring full immunization submissions. While common in hospital systems, adoption within IIS is inconsistent. Interest is moderate but not universal across jurisdictions.

Coming soon

Support for source material, diagrams, and supporting notes is coming in a future update.
