Work items: SNOMED CT - GTIN mapping and vaccine display names / pick lists

As discussed at the last call, PHS Community members have expressed an interest in two work items: GTIN - SNOMED CT mapping and vaccine display name / pick lists. Immunize CA, CIHI and Manitoba have expressed particular interest in working together on what has been called "non-public health display names" for the vaccine name subsets (CIHI calls this Clinician-Friendly Pick List=CFPL).

We plan to meet via telecon / webex next week, Tuesday, October 6th from 1 - 2:30 ET to review a few options for mock ups. Our assumption is that "public friendly" terms for vaccine names may be the exact same as non-public health clinician friendly names. If you are interested in participating, please let me know (either via the Forum or e-mail me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Additionally, we will provide an update / opportunity for input on the next PHS call.
