AIRA Comments - Administered and Historical Immunizations
The "Representing Immunizations - Historical" page is very similar to the administered page. It includes the same 5 code sets and mostly the same considerations (in blue). AIRA proposes these be consolidated into a single page and deal with the nuanced differences in the blue Considerations section rather than retain and maintain two nearly identical pages.Submitted by pwilson@ncpdp.org on 2021-09-29

Preserving Clinical Context
General Comments: USCDI specifies lots of clinical data classes and data elements- Resolving to myriad de-coupled fragments
- With vanishingly little focus on:
- Clinical context and vital inter-relationships, e.g., between problems, diagnoses, complaints, symptoms, encounters, history and physical findings, allergies, medications, vaccinations, assessments, goals/objectives, clinical decisions, orders, results, diagnostic procedures, interventions, observations, treatments/therapies, referrals, consults, protocols, care plans and status...
- Elements and context + purpose of capture: e.g., blood pressure, its measurement (systolic, diastolic), its unit of measure (mm/Hg), its reason for capture, its context of capture (sampling site, sampling method, patient position, at rest/during/post exercise...

The American Medical…
The American Medical Association requests that the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set be added to the standards listed in Section I: Representing Immunizations - Historical. The CPT code set is identified as a terminology standard for Representing Immunizations – Administered, so therefore, it should be included as a standard for historical immunizations. CPT was created over 50 years ago and is a uniform language that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and provides for reliable communication among users. It has an extremely robust and mature development process with open and transparent meetings and clinical input from national medical specialties and relevant stakeholders. It is the most widely adopted outpatient procedure code set. Use of the CPT code set is federally required under HIPAA.Submitted by pwilson@ncpdp.org on 2019-09-23
NCPDP Comment
- Request ONC to add NDC as a value. NDC has historically been used by pharmacy to report immunizations.

Agree, it should not be required because it can't be obtained from a patient's history.

RxNorm and Immunizations?
These are the correct value sets to represent Historical immunizations.
RxNorm is included in list of value and starter sets. (RxNorm Vaccine Clinical Drug 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1010.8)
If CVX and MVX have it covered what is the use case for RxNorm?

Representing Immunizations
The American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA) appreciates the structure and organization of this section. We do have one formatting recommendation; both “Immunization Information System (IIS)” and “State Registry” are used above and throughout the ISA to refer to IIS. We prefer the term Immunization Information System as it is more inclusive of the broad functionality encompassed within these systems. Additionally, some IIS are operated at the city level, rather than the state level, so state registry would be better referred to as jurisdictional IIS.
