Provider Organization Onboarding for IIS Spring 2024 Course Recap
|
|
AIRA’s Onboarding Shared Services (OSS) team recently completed another successful iteration of the Provider Organization Onboarding for IIS course. This course was created to help build or enhance participants’ capacity to conduct onboarding in alignment with best practices.
One-hundred and eight participants from 29 jurisdictions joined us for the six-week series, spanning from March 14 to April 18, 2024. Eighty-eight percent of participants who completed the course evaluation either agreed or strongly agreed the course was high-quality and would recommend this course to a colleague.
For those who missed out on the live training, fear not! We have other resources to enrich your onboarding knowledge. We invite you to explore our Onboarding Templates web page that contains all seven onboarding templates. Our course evaluation shows that over 60% of respondents are currently using six of these templates in their respective jurisdictions.
Need help with implementing onboarding best practices? We also offer technical assistance with implementing the templates and a best practice onboarding process. Submit a request for technical assistance!
A big thank-you to all our participants for your dedication to this course!

New Technical Advisory Bulletin (TAB) Documents
|
|
The Standards and Interoperability Steering Committee (SISC) is pleased to announce the publication of several new technical advisory bulletin (TAB) documents. These documents build on and further clarify specifications in the HL7 v2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging, Release 1.5 and addendum, October 2018.
Each TAB addresses a specific topic related to HL7 v2.5.1 immunization data exchange. The newly published documents include:
- Scenarios for Updates and Queries: Reviews scenarios and expectations for when VXU and QBP messages should be created and sent to IIS.
- Additional “Unknown” Race and Ethnicity Codes: Extends the CDCREC value set to include additional codes to represent an “unknown” race and/or ethnicity: “UNK” for unknown, “ASKU” for asked but unknown, and “PHC1175” for refused to answer.
- Query Response Flexibility: Clarifies that a Z31 RSP (Return List of Candidate Matches) may be returned in response to a Z44 QBP (Request Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast).
- System Entry Date/Time (RXA-22): Defines the optional RXA-22 System Entry Date/Time field as the most recent date/time when the administered or historical immunization information was last entered or updated in the submitting system.
Implementers are expected to use TABs to support the development and maintenance of HL7 exchange capabilities and interfaces. Unless otherwise indicated, organizations shall use the TAB specifications to support implementation, as soon as feasible, working with exchange partners as needed to test and/or confirm changes. See the TAB Overview for additional information about these documents.
