The health information interoperability vocabulary and messaging standards recommended by Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) play a crucial role in public health activities such as Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR), bio-surveillance, early event detection and emergency preparedness & response. Many of the public health surveillance forms have questions and answer lists derived from various vocabulary standards and domains thus requiring the creation of public health vocabulary subsets (value sets).  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed the PHIN VADS based on CHI standards to distribute the value sets associated with Health Level Seven (HL7) Messaging and Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) implementation guides. This demo will discuss the value set development process, functional characteristics of the value set distribution system, PHIN VADS service oriented architecture and its potential role in the National Health Information Network (NHIN).
