Need help publishing?

Launched in 2022, AIRA’s PPW aims to foster an increase in publication of peer-reviewed IIS-related articles. As part of this effort, AIRA created a “collegial queries” email address, Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser.. 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.

Disclaimer

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.

IIS can access their individual Measurement and Improvement (M&I) Assessment and updated Validation reports for the fourth quarter of 2023 (October–December) in the Aggregate Analysis Reporting Tool (AART). AIRA has adapted its Validation certificate issuance process so that jurisdictions now receive M&I Validation certificates directly to the email address associated with the contact listed as their AART admin user. As a reminder, jurisdictions can update their AART settings and users at any time following the steps outlined here.

Aggregate Assessment and Validation Summary reports for M&I content areas Submission/Acknowledgment, Query/Response, Data Quality Incoming/Ongoing, and Clinical Decision Support have also been updated for the IIS community and can be accessed on AIRA’s repository here.

Looking to improve your M&I results? Submit a technical assistance request to get the conversation started with a member of AIRA’s Standards and Analytics team.
