Immunization Information Systems (IIS) are operational in most states and are useful in programmatic and clinical assessments. To ensure that IIS reach their technical and usability potential, and to promote their use, we conducted a Delphi survey to develop a national IIS research and evaluation agenda. Experts with a wide range of IIS knowledge were asked to generate research and evaluation topics that document their utility in achieving and sustaining clinical and public health goals. Topics were then collated by the authors into 13 main categories and were ranked by the survey experts in order of importance. Provider perspectives and needs was ranked as the top research priority. Both data quality and technical data exchange also ranked high, as well as increasing provider participation and IIS cost and cost savings. Lower-ranked research priorities included data sharing between states and factors affecting IIS population-based measurements. Development of an IIS research and evaluation agenda allows policy makers to ensure that their decisions coincide with expert views on national priorities and enables researchers to conduct studies addressing topics recognized as nationally important. It also allows for targeted funding decisions.
免疫接种信息系统（IIS）在大多数州都已投入使用，在项目和临床评估中很有用。为确保IIS发挥其技术和可用性潜力，并促进其使用，我们开展了一项德尔菲调查，以制定国家IIS研究与评估议程。我们邀请了具有广泛IIS知识的专家提出研究与评估主题，这些主题记录了IIS在实现和维持临床及公共卫生目标方面的效用。然后，作者将这些主题整理成13个主要类别，并由调查专家按重要性顺序进行排名。提供者的观点和需求被列为首要研究重点。数据质量和技术数据交换也排名靠前，增加提供者参与度以及IIS成本和成本节约也同样如此。排名靠后的研究重点包括州与州之间的数据共享以及影响基于人群的IIS测量的因素。制定IIS研究与评估议程使政策制定者能够确保其决策与关于国家优先事项的专家意见相一致，并使研究人员能够开展针对被认为具有国家重要性的主题的研究。这也有助于做出有针对性的资金决策。
