Register Now for AIRA’s March Discovery Session: Road to Expanding Consumer Access to Digital Credentials and the Implications for the IIS Community
|
|
Join us on Monday, March 24, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET for an engaging Discovery Session where we explore Michigan’s innovative approach to evaluating the issuance of digital birth credentials using Digital Trust Technology. In this session, the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) will share insights into the benefits of issuing vital records as digitally verifiable credentials, gained through testing. Learn how digital birth credentials can streamline access, enhance security, and offer greater convenience for the issuing office, parents, and the school systems that rely on these records.
This presentation will cover:
- An Overview of NAPHSIS: A member-based organization that provides national advocacy, technical assistance and training, educational programming, and resources to assist and promote the use of vital records.
- Expedited Access & Enhanced Security: The ways digital birth credentials provide faster access, improved security, and greater convenience compared to traditional paper documents.
- Best Practices: Key strategies for successfully issuing digital credentials within the vital records ecosystem.
- Challenges & Lessons Learned: Real-world insights from discovery sessions, including challenges encountered and lessons learned from an educational pilot use case.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from Michigan’s experience and join in a lively Q&A discussion following the presentation!

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with calendar links for easy access. If you can’t make it, a recording will be available in the AIRA Repository. We hope you’ll join us on March 24!

Power BI Tip of the Month: Take Care When Setting the Default View
|
|
When setting the default view for your Power BI report, focus on displaying the most relevant data for your audience. Avoid selecting a broad range of data as it may not be useful and can cause longer initial load times. Remember, users can always drill down or up to explore more details, but the initial load time impacts every user, so keeping it concise ensures a faster and smoother experience.
