Enhance Data Quality with M&I’s DAR Content Area
|
|
Are you looking for a no-cost opportunity to explore the quality of patient-level and vaccine-level data within your IIS? AIRA, CDC, and Measurement for Assessment and Certification Advisory Workgroup (MACAW) invite all IIS to participatein the Measurement and Improvement (M&I) initiative's Data at Rest (DAR) content area.
Since its launch into Assessment in February 2022, DAR focuses on evaluating completeness, validity, and timeliness of IIS data for 0 to 2-year-olds. Participating IIS can benchmark their data against national and community-set quality standards, access IIS-wide and provider-level reports to drive improvement efforts, and achieve key milestones aligned with the Immunization Program Operations Manual (IPOM) Chapter D activity to “analyze provider and IIS-level patient demographic and vaccination data.”
In 2024, 25 jurisdictions participated in the DAR Assessment, and we invite you to join them as testing for 2025 gets underway. AIRA staff are available to provide technical assistance and consultation to support your efforts. Most IIS complete the DAR process within one week.
To kick off a new year of testing, AIRA has updated IIS participation materials, now available in the AIRA Repository.
Interested IIS can:
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from your peers! Check out the July 2023 AIRA Discovery Session, where IIS colleagues from New Mexico and Arizona shared their experiences and successes with DAR participation.
