Improving Care with Data Exchange – Childhood Immunizations
The Design Studios for Data Exchange, hosted by EPT Data SME Connecting for Better Health, have helped EPT practices develop workflows, overcome challenges, and develop a more automated data approach to improve performance on key quality measures.
Resources
This document outlines the journey of Mia Taylor, a 16-month-old child with health & social care needs. It highlights the challenges of managing her immunization records due to name changes, provider transitions, and county moves. Based on her care journey, this resource highlights workflow recommendations to streamline data exchange and enhance care quality & coordination.
Immunization CIS Combo 10 Measure – Current State/Future State
This resource outlines key issues and proposed future improvements for meeting the CIS Combo 10 pediatric immunization measure in California. It addressed issues related to patient identify resolution, patient authorizations, data quality/completeness, emphasizing need for better integration, standardized processed and enhanced collaboration among practices, hospitals, payers, and the California Immunization Registry (CAIR).
Sample workflow design diagram
This highlights a recommended workflow design for a practice data strategy to improve the quality care journey and data-sharing practices across systems.
Better Data Exchange to Support Childhood Immunization A Playbook
A concise playbook translating Design Studio insights into standardized workflow diagrams, checklists, and implementation guidance that practices can use to improve immunization data quality/completeness and strengthen CIS Combo 10 performance. Health practices gain specific improvement pathways to address (1) “no single source of truth,” (2) manual/fragmented processes (authorization, record updates, outreach), and (3) limited analytic capacity—so teams can more confidently identify & respond to gaps. Tools were co-designed with practices, MCPs, CAIR & QHIOs in partnership with Connecting for Better Health and made possible through funding from Covered California
