New Technical Advisory Bulletin (TAB) Documents
|
|
The Standards and Interoperability Steering Committee (SISC) is pleased to announce the publication of several new technical advisory bulletin (TAB) documents. These documents build on and further clarify specifications in the HL7 v2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging, Release 1.5 and addendum, October 2018.
Each TAB addresses a specific topic related to HL7 v2.5.1 immunization data exchange. The newly published documents include:
- Scenarios for Updates and Queries: Reviews scenarios and expectations for when VXU and QBP messages should be created and sent to IIS.
- Additional “Unknown” Race and Ethnicity Codes: Extends the CDCREC value set to include additional codes to represent an “unknown” race and/or ethnicity: “UNK” for unknown, “ASKU” for asked but unknown, and “PHC1175” for refused to answer.
- Query Response Flexibility: Clarifies that a Z31 RSP (Return List of Candidate Matches) may be returned in response to a Z44 QBP (Request Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast).
- System Entry Date Time (RXA-22): Defines the optional RXA-22 System Entry Date/Time field as the most recent date/time when the administered or historical immunization information was last entered or updated in the submitting system.
Implementers are expected to use TABs to support the development and maintenance of HL7 exchange capabilities and interfaces. Unless otherwise indicated, organizations shall use the TAB specifications to support implementation, as soon as feasible, working with exchange partners as needed to test and/or confirm changes. See the TAB Overview for additional information about these documents.
