AIRA making progress on guide

Yesterday I participated in an ARIA workgroup call. We discussed the current tables used in the CDC Implementation Guide and tried to decide which codes we could remove from the guide.

This is very important work. Overtime, implementations such as this get larger and larger. And the complexity can weigh it down. By removing old, unused codes, the guide can become lighter and much more focused on immunizations.

My hope is that the new guide that will be coming out, will help vendors understand exactly how to write for an immunization registry.
