Improving Immunization Data Quality through EHR and Public Health Collaboration
November 1, 2023 | Webinar
As the use of electronic health records (EHRs) has become the standard method of capturing clinical information, the proportion of immunization records submitted to immunization information systems (IIS) via electronic data exchange has significantly increased.
The Immunization Integration Program (IIP), established to improve immunization interoperability, facilitated a joint effort between EHRs and IIS to improve data quality through best practice development and adoption. The program studied several healthcare organizations and IIS data exchange partnerships with a focus on identifying, analyzing and addressing common issues to improve immunization data quality.
Learn how EHRs, clinic staff, and public health implemented IIP’s strategies for improving data quality and gain key insights from Oracle Health and Missouri’s IIS as examples of successful cross-sector collaboration.
