The California Department of Public Health has announced the August 2013 launch of an online immunization messaging portal that will help providers in the state qualify for meaningful use incentive payments.
To qualify for the incentive payments, providers must submit immunization information through a certified electronic health record system to an immunization registry. The new portal will feature a simplified interface for enrolling with the registry and submitting test messages for validation and meaningful use attestation.
The portal is available to providers in the seven participating California Immunization Registry regions.
