American Immunization Registry Association Immunization Information Systems for a New Era

MIROW Best Practices

MIROW has developed seven best practice guidelines for functional and technical IIS related topics.

Best practice recommendations include:

  • An overview of the topic being reviewed
  • Principles, business rules, and general recommendations associated with the topic
  • Various models, such as business process models, state transition models, and others
  • Agreed upon terms and definitions
  • Challenges to and solutions for implementing the best practice recommendations
  • Select references for peer-reviewed literature
  • Examples of implementation

Each guideline may be downloaded in complete, or in summarized "mini guide" form. This is an ongoing initiative with additional topics added regularly.
