Hello,
This email contains an AART User Group reminder and AIRA's final comments on the National Quality Forum (NQF) immunization-related measures.
Reminder: Register Today for the May AART User Group Mini-Series
As a reminder, the next session of the AART User Group Mini-Series will be Wednesday, May 27 at 4:00pm ET. This session will be focused on HL7 Assessment and how it is being used by the community. Join us for some, or all, of the remaining AART User Group Mini-Series. The webinars will be held on the 4th Wednesday of every month at 4:00pm ET through July.
Overview: This is a six-month series of user group meetings for both technical and program staff. This mini-series will promote and support the use of AART as a means for IIS to more quickly and efficiently align with national standards and priorities.
Who Should Join? You! IIS managers, Program managers, IIS teams, HL7 analysts, data exchange/quality analysts, existing AART users – anyone interested in learning more.
3 More Sessions: We hope you’ll join us for all 3 of the remaining user groups in the series. However, if you miss one (or two), you can still join! We’ve strategically designed the webinar so you can jump into the series at any point and still get valuable information out of it.
How to Join? Register separately for each of the user groups below:
We look forward to your program joining the conversations.
AIRA's Final Comments on NQF Immunization-Related Measures
The National Quality Forum (NQF) is currently considering two immunization-related measures. The NQF Prevention and Population Health Standing Committee reviewed the Prenatal Immunization Status (PRS) and the Adult Immunization Status (AIS) measures for endorsement consideration. The PRS measure has been recommended for endorsement, while the Committee did not reach consensus on the AIS measure. The Committee is seeking comments from the public on all measures, in particular on the AIS measure given that consensus was not reached (see draft report attached, or visit this site for more information).
AIRA has finalized comments in the attached letter that will be submitted to NQF. We encourage you to draw from and echo these messages in comments submitted from your organization.
Final comments must be submitted by 6pm ET on May 28. They can be submitted here and more information is available here.
Questions? Please contact Liz Abbott. Thank you for your efforts to coordinate and amplify the voice of immunizations and public health!
Thank you,
