Other tools & services
IGAMT-1 – Implementation Guide Authoring and Management Tool
ArchivedIGAMT is a tool used to create HL7 v2.x implementation guides that contain one or more conformance profiles, with both narrative text and messaging requirements in a structured environment. IGAMT-1 is a legacy tool and is no longer supported.
Archived — shut down June 30, 2026. Available for download and local install.
Laboratory Results Interface (LRI)
GVT tool scopeThe NIST Lab Results Interface (LRI) Validation Suite was used for ONC Certification Testing of HIT Modules (no longer part of the certification program). It provides functionality to test LRI senders (e.g., an LIS) and LRI receivers (e.g., an EHR).
Moving into the GVT tool scope — mid-August 2026.
Laboratory Test Suite (eDOS, LOI, LRI, and ELR)
ArchivedThe NIST Laboratory Test Suite supports the testing of HL7 v2.5.1 laboratory messages (eDOS, LOI, LRI, and ELR) against the S&I Framework implementation guides. The test suite is out-of-date and is archived.
Archived — shutdown September 2026. Artifacts available for download.
IHE Device Connect-a-thon (DEV/PCD)
Moving to IHEThe NIST DEV/PCD Tool Suite is a dedicated validation infrastructure designed to test how medical devices (like infusion pumps, ventilators, and vital sign monitors) communicate with enterprise systems like Electronic Health Records (EHR) and clinical dashboards.
Transitioning to IHE — in discussion.
Rosetta Terminology Mapping Management System (RTMMS)
Moving to IHERTMMS is a web-based infrastructure and database that enables semantic interoperability for medical devices, acting as the definitive, centralized registry that translates and maps disparate medical device outputs into a single, unified data language.
Transitioning to IHE — in discussion.
qDAR – Quality of Data-at-Rest in Immunization Information Systems
Prometheus ComputingqDAR is composed of a desktop (command line interface) tool and a GUI results tool. IIS use the tool to extract database information and use the display tool to explore and assess the data. AIRA currently hosts the tool.
Transitioning to Prometheus Computing for software maintenance and updates — August 2026.
IZ Gateway Testing
GVT tool scopeIZ Gateway Testing is a set of test plans and test tools used for on-boarding and testing of IZ Gateway systems. Test plans are created in TCAMT and the test tools are hosted in GVT.
Transitioning to Prometheus Computing as part of the GVT tool scope — August 2026.
GVT User Tools
