Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) April 25, 2012
At 4:09 AM on April 11th, 2012, the Arizona
Department of Health Services (ADHS) Immunization
Information System (ASIIS) reached 50,000,000
vaccination records in their registry. Arizona’s
Immunization Information System (ASIIS) currently
includes 5,066,137 patient records and has 1,158
reporting providers and 9,977 enrolled users. This
exciting milestone coincides with the 20th anniversary
of The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI),
whose mission is to foster a comprehensive, sustained
community program for the immunization of Arizonans
against vaccine preventable diseases.
If you were to calculate the
value of 50 million on-line
immunization records...the use of
this information by the Arizona
clinical and public health
community is...reducing the
health and economic impact of
VPD on residents and visitors.
Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) still impacts our
communities and poses life-threatening risks to our
populations. Ensuring that the right vaccine is given to
the right patient at the right time is critical to promoting
disease prevention. Monitoring disease trends,
evaluating the effectiveness of immunization programs
and understanding the populations effected by disease
are cornerstone. Immunization registries, such as the ASIIS system, give providers the clinical decision-making tools
to do this.
STC designed and developed Arizona’s statewide immunization registry which began development in 1995. For over
twenty years STC has been providing leadership in the implementation of population-based registries in support of
the public health mission to reduce the health and economic impacts of vaccine preventable diseases on individuals,
families and communities. STC has worked with leaders in state health, non-profits, and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish standards and best practices for immunization registries to support
providers and clinical care of patients. STC’s firsts in this field range from the use of Geographical Information
Systems to identify populations at risk to VPD, to establishing a national electronic immunization record sharing
network between all US states after Hurricane Katrina, to focusing on empowering individuals with access to their
immunization records 24x7 across the globe.
STC staff members include public health professionals, epidemiologists, software design architects, public health
client service managers, and quality control teams. In addition to supporting public health projects across the US,
these individuals are active in key national standards work groups establishing data exchange criteria to support
health transformation efforts.
