PHLs involved in the Public Health Laboratory Interoperability Project (PHLIP) use the AIMS Platform to transport Electronic Laboratory Surveillance Messages (ELSM) for Influenza to CDC.
The AIMS Platform is used by PHLs to maintain Pandemic Influenza surge capacity to securely exchange Electronic Test Orders and Results (ETOR).
The AIMS Platform supports Meaningful Use secure message transport for Syndromic Surveillance, Immunizations, and Electronic Laboratory Results (ELR).
The Laboratory Response Network (LRN) uses the AIMS Platform to securely transport messages of possible bioterrorism threats.

The Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) program uses four Reference Centers to provide specimen testing for labs that either do not currently provide testing for VPD diseases or want the surge capacity provided by Reference Centers. VPD diseases currently consist of: Measles (Rubeola), mumps, rubella, Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), pertussis, S. pneumoniae, and H. influenzae.

The State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) project is an update to an existing software application that enables electronic data exchange of vital events. Using a new cloud based infrastructure, hosted in conjunction with the Public Health Community Platform on the AIMS Platform, states and territories will have bi-directional core messaging capabilities. The new solution will offer flexibility and the ability to scale quickly, while significantly reducing the technical footprint within each jurisdiction.
