About immunization registry reporting
You must be registered with your state's immunization registry for HL7 submission before configuring the RXNT integration.
An Immunization Registry is a confidential, population-based, computerized information system that allows providers to collect vaccination data of the population within a geographic area. The information can be shared one-way (via export) or with a bidirectional interface.
By collecting and exporting immunization record data, you may qualify to meet specific MIPS measures for HIE (Health Information Exchange). For more information, visit the CMS website at www.cms.gov.
First, read the HealthCareXchange: Practice On-Boarding Process.
Secondly, the customer will begin completing HealthCareXchange's Configuration Form and directly email the form to HealthcareXchange at support@healthcarexchange.com.
How to add an immunization interface to your RXNT subscription
The immunizations interface is an optional add-on product available to all RXNT customers enrolled with the Electronic Health Records (EHR) solution.
Under Enrollments on the rxnt.com website, add Immunization Interface to your subscription under the "Add Ons" page.
Choose between an outgoing-only interface or a bidirectional interface to send and receive immunization records for patients.
Complete the rest of your enrollment.
Contact your RXNT Onboarding Coach to add the immunization interface to your RXNT subscription.
