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 Minnesota State Immunization Information Connection (MIIC).

​
What is the MIIC Immunization Registry Interface?

The MIIC Immunization Registry Interface allows connected practices to send vaccination information from their Elation EHR directly to MIIC; the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection. Practices can also query MIIC for vaccination history or forecast.

​
Why is the MIIC Immunization Registry Interface valuable?

With the MIIC Immunization Registry Interface, practices no longer need to separately log in to MIIC 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 MIIC. You can also pull vaccination history for specific patients from MIIC 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 & MIIC

The Elation Team will assist you with initiating interface with MIIC. To notify us of your interest, please click here to fill out our contact form, select “Immunization Registry” as the Request Type, and send the following information to Elation:
  1. Do you participate in Medicare, Medicaid, or both?
  2. What is your MIIC organization code?
  3. How many vaccinations do you administer per year?

​
How to submit vaccination data to MIIC using Elation

You will use the Vaccine Form in the patient’s chart to document the vaccination data and submit it the data to MIIC. 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.MIIC currently does not receive race and ethnicity information.

​
How to query for vaccination history/forecast using MIIC

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?
