To support the importance of promoting and prioritizing interoperability and exchange of patient immunization data across various healthcare platforms, Elation has established an electronic interface with the Alabama State Immunization Registry called Immunization Provider Registry with Internet Technology (ImmPRINT).

​
What is the ImmPRINT Immunization Registry Interface?

The ImmPRINT Immunization Registry Interface allows connected practices to send vaccination information from their Elation EHR directly to ImmPRINT, the Alabama State Immunization Registry. Practices can also query ImmPRINT for vaccination history or forecast.

​
Why is the ImmPRINT Immunization Registry Interface valuable?

With the ImmPRINT Immunization Registry Interface, practices no longer need to separately log in to ImmPRINT to enter vaccination records for their patients. Once the vaccination is recorded in Elation during the patient encounter, the information can be sent immediately from the patient’s chart in Elation to ImmPRINT. You can also pull vaccination history for specific patients from ImmPRINT to allow you to populate your patient’s clinical profile and make informed decisions for administering vaccines. This interface saves you time and allows you to streamline your vaccination workflows.

​
How to establish interface between Elation & ImmPRINT

The Elation Team will assist you with initiating interface with ImmPRINT. To begin:
  1. Confirm you have an ImmPRINT account. Click here to register for an ImmPRINT account if you do not have one.
  2. Click here to sign up for an account with the Alabama Department of Public Health Security Portal.
  3. Click “Create an account”.
  4. Check off the ‘Meaningful Use / Promoting Interoperability’ box in the Select Applications to Request Access section.
  5. Fill out all the required fields to create your account.
  6. Click here to notify Elation of your interest in initiating an interface with ImmPRINT.
  7. Select “Immunization Registry” as the Request Typeand provide Elation with the following information:
  • What county is your practice in?
  • Who will be the point of contact at your practice for this interface project
ImmPRINT requires the following actions prior to turning on the interface for your practice: A 30-minute call between Elation, your practice and a representative at ImmPRINT during the interface testing phase to test sending vaccination data from Elation EHR to ImmPRINT.Registration on the ImmPRINT Pilot server. ImmPRINT will provide you with instructions about registration once you pass the testing phase.

How to submit vaccination data to ImmPRINT using Elation

You will use the Vaccine Form in the patient’s chart to document the vaccination data and submit it the data to ImmPRINT. Learn more about how to use the Vaccine Form using the Vaccination Documentation Guide .
All submissions are one-time only. If you need to edit any vaccination data after it is sent to the Immunization Registry, you will need to update the data in both the patient’s chart and the Immunization Registry directly.

​
How to query for vaccination history/forecast using ImmPRINT

You can query for vaccination history/forecast directly within a patient’s chart by following the instructions listed in the ‘Querying for vaccination history and/or forecast using an Immunization Registry Interface’ section of the Vaccination Documentation Guide .

​
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​
How can I tell if the vaccination record was successfully submitted to the immunization registry?

You can log into your State’s registry to review vaccination records submitted from Elation to the registry through the interface from time to time. If you have questions about a specific vaccination record, please send the patient ID and the name of the immunization to the Support Team and we can look into the vaccination record.

​
How can I edit or delete a vaccination record from the registry using Elation?

At this time, vaccination records submitted through Elation can only be edited or deleted within the registry. If you do make a change to or delete the vaccination record in the registry, we also recommend making the same change in Elation.

​
I am running into errors when using the “Check Registry” or the “Check Forecast” buttons. What should I do?
