Kansas HIE transmits data to state immunization registry
Kansas Health Information Network (KHIN), the state's nonprofit, provider-led health information exchange, has successfully transmitted data from the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas to the Kansas Immunization Registry.
Known as KSWebIZ, the web-based statewide registry is set up to consolidate immunization information for all Kansas residents, assure adequate immunization levels and avoid unnecessary immunizations. State officials say the project is being implemented in two phases: the first is a uni-directional interface that electronically sends immunizations from the healthcare facility to KSWebIZ; the second phase will allow providers to search the registry and retrieve immunization information for their patients.
