Connecticut’s Immunization Information System (IIS), “CT WiZ”, was upgraded and went into production in September 2018. CT WiZ is a web-based database-driven system that maintains complete, accurate, and secure immunization records. The new system is designed to meet national standard requirements, including vaccine ordering and bi-directional electronic data exchange between a healthcare provider’s electronic health records (EHR) and CT WiZ. Bi-directional data exchange enabled eligible health care providers to meet Stage 3 Meaningful Use / “Promoting Interoperability” (MU/PI) since 2019.
The Immunization Program’s application for federal funds through the Implementation Advance Planning documents (IAPDs) with the Department of Social Services (DSS) was approved in May 2018 with a key emphasis on reducing the burden on providers while providing critical quality, clinical, and cost data to improve health outcomes. The funds will support activities for the transition from primarily paper based reporting of immunizations and manual data entry by DPH staff, to real-time electronic data exchange.
Activities under this project include assisting providers to meet a public health requirement by onboarding MU/PI Eligible Professionals plus Medicaid providers who are not EHR incentive-eligible for purposes of exchanging data with CT WiZ. Onboarding will occur in phases starting with the highest volume EHR vendors and their associated pediatric practices who administer the greatest volume of vaccinations, moving to progressively smaller volume sites. Eventually, the system will be available for any provider of vaccinations, including pharmacies. Electronic data exchange will also allow for expansion of the age range of patient vaccines captured in CT WiZ.
The aim of this project is to facilitate onboarding using the national standard Health Level 7 (HL7) format for data exchange between healthcare provider EHRs and CT WiZ, to support clinical and public health decision-making. Onboarding is a term used to describe the process and activities related to establishing an electronic interface between a healthcare provider’s EHR and a jurisdiction’s IIS (in CT, CT WiZ). The onboarding process begins at the point when a provider expresses or registers intent to establish an interface and ends after an interface has been successfully transitioned to the production IIS environment.
Once a provider is transitioned to production, efforts will transition to improve HL7 data quality through reports and feedback to providers on quality issues identified.
