During the session, you will:

  • Learn how PHII supports public health programs.
  • Expand your knowledge of PHII resources to support workforce development and technical assistance of IIS teams.

You’ll also learn how PHII, AIRA and CDC work together to support IIS programs.

 

There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the webinar.

HOT TOPICS

 

Enhancing IIS Data Quality: Exploring VFC Provider Participation and HL7 Patient Matching in M&I Testing and Discovery

AIRA, in collaboration with CDC and MACAW (the Measurement for Assessment & Certification Advisory Workgroup), is excited to introduce two new content areas to the Testing & Discovery stage of the Measurement & Improvement (M&I) Initiative: VFC Provider Participation and HL7 Patient Matching. Preliminary data reports will be available in the Aggregate Analysis Reporting Tool (AART) for participating jurisdictions beginning the first week of August. Currently, 98% of IIS jurisdictions voluntarily participate in M&I. These two new areas offer jurisdictions insight into how their IIS align with community-selected data quality and completeness targets based on CDC’s IIS Data Quality Blueprint and IIS Functional Standards. As part of the discovery process, feedback from jurisdictions regarding the methodology, preliminary data, test case scenarios, and test case expectations are strongly encouraged and serve a critical role in shaping and informing continuous improvement efforts.
