IMM/Scrub: a domain-specific tool for the deduplication of vaccination history records in childhood immunization registries.
IMM/Scrub is a pilot tool developed to assist in the deduplication of vaccination history records in childhood immunization registries. This problem is complicated by a number of factors including that fact that: (1) some doses are numbered and some are not- (2) doses may have different dose numbers- (3) doses may specify different preparations within a vaccine series- (4) one dose may indicate a combination vaccine and the other dose may specify one component of that combination- (5) two doses may have slightly different dates- and (6) combinations of any of these problems may occur together. IMM/Scrub is designed to help detect 10 different types of vaccination dose duplicates and also allows the user to specify flexibly the conditions in which a duplicate dose might be automatically eliminated. In addition- IMM/Scrub is linked to the IMM/Serve immunization forecasting program- which can provide additional assistance in the data cleaning process. The paper describes (1) the design of the current pilot imple
