AIRA’s Publication Project Workgroup (PPW) was launched in 2022 to foster the increased publication of peer-reviewed IIS-related articles. As part of this effort, AIRA is creating a “collegial queries” email address, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. You can send publication-related questions to this email address, and subject matter experts (SMEs) from the PPW will respond.

Any publication-related questions are welcome. PPW members are available to offer peer feedback prior to article submission, to help match article topics to journals, and/or to serve as a sounding board for IIS analysis and publication ideas.

If you have a question or idea to run past the PPW, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We look forward to supporting you in your publication efforts!

The views and opinions expressed by the PPW collegial query SMEs are those of the individuals and do not necessarily reflect official policy or positions of AIRA or the organizations the SMEs represent. 

During the two-and-a-half-day 2023 National Meeting, AIRA’s Standards and Analytics Team delivered a series of AART Clinics to 86 participants from 37 IIS teams.

These individual 30-minute sessions offered IIS teams a valuable opportunity to enhance their understanding of the AART tool, learn more about Data at Rest (DAR), review their Measurement and Improvement (M&I) results, and discuss opportunities for improvement.

If you missed the chance to explore the insights on AART, DAR, and optimizing M&I results during the National Meeting, don’t worry. Based on this year’s participant evaluation, 93% of your colleagues recommend you and your team schedule a virtual AART Clinic. Submit your clinic request via AIRA’s online form to get started.

The Immunization Integration Program created the IIP Vaccine-Related Code Sets Data Collection Tool to identify gaps and areas for improvement and to better understand the process of updating immunization-related coded values in your data systems.

To access the data collection tool, click the following link https://redcap.link/vcodesets. The survey will be open from May 1 to June 9, 2023.

Your responses will be kept anonymous, shared with the CDC code set team, and used to inform a vaccine-related code set landscape analysis and recommendations.
