• The public reporting measure may be challenging for the FQHCs that are VFC providers connecting through KHIN because they would lose their access to reports, vaccine ordering, etc.
• The KDHE Infectious Disease specialized registry has been found to be a challenge for providers connecting to KHIN if the EHR vendor does not include ICD codes in the ADT (demographics) feed.
• If they have not already done so, the clinics that are not actively sending information to the registries need to send an email to MeaningfulUse@kdheks.gov and request the Registration to Submit Data; the completed form must be submitted with 60 days of the start of their reporting period.
• The Registration needs to be submitted one time for each measure.
• If no Registration has previously been submitted, a Registration could be submitted for both the Immunization and Infectious Disease registry.
• If the Registration for the immunization registry has already been submitted to KDHE (or the clinic is already exchanging immunization information), a Registration could be submitted just for the Infectious Disease registry.
• If the clinic is submitting the Registration for the immunization registry, VFC providers may want to note their participation in the VFC program so they can (hopefully) be dropped lower in the interface queue or connect directly to WebIZ.
