MIROW Common Vocabulary

The Modeling of Immunization Registry Operations Workgroup (MIROW) common vocabulary has been developed by consolidating the terms found in each of the MIROW guides and then applying a concise definition to each term. The current release of the common vocabulary contains core terms (i.e., terms found in three or more guides) and terms found in the repackaged Management of Patient Status in Immunization Information Systems and Reminder/Recall in Immunization Information Systems. The common vocabulary will ultimately be a comprehensive, one-stop shop for all of the terminology in MIROW guides. Additionally, the common vocabulary will grow as new subject areas are addressed by MIROW.
