The Quality, Research and Public Health Domain endorses the white paper developed by the Public Health Data Standards Consortium. The white paper provides two detailed examples of public health programs (immunization and cancer registries). It also identifies other programs for the development of technical specifications for interoperable systems in the future that manage public health, research, and quality. The white paper serves as a framing document for planning public health activities in IHE.
