Guides

Standard messages and associated vocabularies are a critical part of ensuring interoperability among public health systems as well as ensuring that public health systems can work with health care, environmental, homeland defense, and other external systems and networks. Implementing standard messages is a key strategy for the Public Health Information Network (PHIN).

There are several different artifacts created to support and manage the message specification. These artifacts or work products contain information about a specific message that a public health partner can use to support their implementation of PHIN requirements and/or recommendations for messaging and interoperability of information systems.
