OpportunityTitle: PPHF 2014: Immunization &#191; Enhance an Immunization Information System (IIS) to Interface with CDC&#191;s VTrckS Vaccine Ordering and Management System &#191; financed in part by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: A. Eligibility Information   1. Eligible Applicants:   Government Organizations:  &#149; State or their bona fide agents (includes the District of Columbia)  &#149; Local governments or their bona fide agents  &#149; Territorial governments or their bona fide agents in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau    2. Special Eligibility Requirements:   Applicants must have implemented or stated the intention to implement an ExIS interface either through the January 2014 ExIS deployment assessment or the July 2013 VTrckS awardee survey.
Description: Purpose: This project will support interfacing awardee IIS with the VTrckS system and thereby leverage the significant investment made in developing and implementing IIS provider master data, ordering and inventory components. Building on existing infrastructure in awardees&#146; jurisdictions will minimize the amount of programming and retraining needed for a complete, comprehensive, and robust vaccine ordering and distribution system. Providers already use IIS to document immunizations administered, send return/reminder notices, and report adverse events. This project will allow providers to use a single tool to also track inventory and order vaccine through an efficient, accountable process.
