Child Profile Access Options and System Requirements

The Child Profile Immunization Registry can be accessed from any PC that has access to the Internet and a Web browser. Access is available to providers who sign an information sharing agreement that assures confidentiality, privacy, and security of the system.
 

Technology Requirements

1. A PC with Internet access is required and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and above and 128-bit encryption.
2. Minimum 28 kbps access for acceptable response time.
3. Printer connection to print immunization history and recommendation reports.

Manual Data Entry

It's easy to enter a patient's current or past immunizations. Multiple immunizations can be entered on one screen. Many fields can be pre-populated using clinic-specific "personal" settings. Double-click in the date field and insert today's date or a default date that you select. This makes entering a complete immunization history quick and easy. A child's history with 20 immunizations can be entered in less than 2 minutes.

Electronic Data Exchange

Alternatives to manual data entry:

• Batch data in HL7 format.
• Batch data in simple text format (per Child Profile specifications).
• Real-time HL7 interface.

Providers may choose to submit data files from their own information systems. A data exchange process can be set up that sends batch data directly to Child Profile from an Electronic Medical Record or from practice management and billing systems. Batch data can either be in HL7 or simple text format. Specifications for batch format are available from the Child Profile Help Desk. A real-time interface using the HL7 protocol may also be arranged. To discuss data exchange options, contact the CHILD Profile Help Desk at 1-800-325-5599.
