	Immunization Test Suite
The immunization Test Suite provides tools to help implementers meet conformance to the National Implementation Guide Release 1.5
Implementation Guide Authoring and Management Tool (IGAMT)
IGAMT provides implementation guide (IG) authors the ability to develop IGs through web-based tooling with HL7 Version 2 intelligence. By using the tool, authors can develop IGs that meet conformance and build directly from the National Implementation Guide.
Test Case Authoring and Management Tool (TCAMT)
TCAMT provides the ability to develop HL7-focused test cases and expected outcomes. Test cases can be grouped into test plans and held to conformance defined in IGAMT profiles.Future Direction
	HL7 v2.8.2 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging
This is an HL7 US Realm implementation guide for immunization messaging.  This new standard is not yet recommended by the CDC and AIRA and is reserved for implementation at a future date. This document adopts many of the use cases and requirements of Release 1.5 IG and adapts them for v2.8.2 while simultaneously clarifying and enhancing the requirements.  Several other Guidance Documents (e.g., ACK Guidance) are also now included in the 2.8.2 IG.  The CDC and AIRA will issue guidance at a future date when trading partners may transition to the v2.8.2 standard.  Please send comments and suggestions to Heather Patrick, htx7@cdc.gov.
FHIR Immunization Decision Support Forecast IG
Clinical Decision Support for Immunizations is increasingly being used in health information systems to indicate which vaccinations a patient is due for next. Many of these expert systems are built as stand-alone systems that respond to web service requests. While these independent systems have similar requirements and outputs they use different web service standards.
This project aims to create a common FHIR implementation guide that these expert systems may use to provide a common consistent interface. This common interface will be used for two main purposes:Provide a common interface that health information systems may write to and gain access to their choice of CDS engines.
Provide a common interface that may be used for testing and verifying the output of CDS engines.Historical Files
