Objective
This program will improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and/or quality of immunization practices by strengthening the immunization information technology infrastructure, building capacity for public health department insurance billing, and expanding immunization delivery partnerships so that more children, adolescents, and adults are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. The specific objectives may include but are not limited to:
1. Develop strategic plans for billing for immunization services in health department clinics;
2. Enhance interoperability between electronic health records (EHRs) and Immunization Information Systems (IIS) and reception of HL7 standard messages in IIS;
3. Develop a vaccine ordering module in an immunization information system that interfaces with CDC’s VTrckS vaccine ordering and management system;
4. Vaccine barcode improvement to improve the system functions to capture data from 2-D barcodes on vaccine vials and syringes as well as improve data capture from the Vaccine Information Statements;
5. Improve vaccine management, storage and handling at provider and grantee level;
6. Use immunization information systems to improve adolescent vaccination coverage;
7. Conduct hepatitis B vaccination pilot to reduce the incidence of acute hepatitis B infection among adults through targeted hepatitis B vaccination of adults who present for medical care in high risk settings or who have behaviors that increase their risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection;
8. Conduct school vaccination assessment evaluation to implement substantial improvements in the quality of kindergarten coverage and exemption data collected at state and local levels while building state and local area capacity;
9. Use immunization information systems to conduct small area analysis of vaccination coverage.
