The Immunization Integration Program: Advancing EHR Testing to Improve Public Health Immunization Interoperability

Join a panel discussion to identify challenges and opportunities for advancing immunization functionality and data quality between EHR vendor products and public health immunization information systems (IIS) while recognizing an IIP tested vendor, Office Practicum. 

• Describe the Immunization Integration Program’s (IIP) efforts to test and advance EHR vendor immunization functionality


• Identify challenges to immunization data exchange and data quality


• Recognize opportunities for the public health and private sectors to join efforts to improve immunization interoperability and data quality


• Outline how to participate in the Immunization Integration Program’s Testing and Recognition initiative

The IIP is a collaborative partnership between the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA), HIMSS, Drummond Group who performs vendor product testing, the National Institute of Science and Technology who supports the testing tool, expert contractors, and numerous volunteers who contribute real-world experience to the IIP through participation in committees and workgroups. 

Office Practicum is a pediatric-specialty EHR and the first to receive Drummond’s Pediatric Health IT Certification with advanced achievement in six core areas. Office Practicum is committed to building technology solutions uniquely for pediatric needs and is developed for pediatricians by pediatricians. Office Practicum functions exclusively to support the care needs of kids – something they feel is missing from generic EHRs.
