West Virginia State- WVSIIS- Immunization Registry Interface User Guide
This article will describe how you can submit vaccination data to the West Virginia State Immunization Information System [WVSIIS] directly within Elation as well as query for vaccination history and/or forecast.
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 West Virginia State Immunization Information System (WVSIIS).
What is the NDIIS Immunization Registry Interface?
The WVSIIS Immunization Registry Interface allows connected practices to send vaccination information from their Elation EHR directly to WVSIIS, the West Virginia State Immunization Information System. Practices can also query WVSIIS for vaccination history or forecast.
Why is the WVSIIS Immunization Registry Interface valuable?
With the WVSIIS Immunization Registry Interface, practices no longer need to separately log in to WVSIIS to enter vaccination records for their patients. Once the vaccination is recorded in WVSIIS during the patient encounter, the information can be sent immediately from the patient’s chart in Elation to WVSIIS. You can also pull vaccination history for specific patients from WVSIIS 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 & WVSIIS
The Elation Team will assist you with initiating interface with WVSIIS. To notify us of your interest please complete this form for WVSIIS and then click here to fill out our contact form and select “Immunization Registry” as the Request Type. A member of the Elation team will collect the completed WVSIIS form from you.
How to submit vaccination data to WVSIIS using Elation
You will use the Vaccine Form in the patient’s chart to document the vaccination data and submit it the data to WVSIIS. 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 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.
