In 2022, 91% of immunizations administered were reported within one day of administration. Timely data entry into MIIC helps ensure people receive the right immunizations at the right time. People rely on having a complete and accurate record for school, child care, and employment. Participating provider organizations rely on MIIC data to look up immunization histories and provide recommended vaccinations. Timely data entry is an expectation included in the Content for the Data Use Agreement for Participating in the MIIC Connection.
There are three different ways to report data to MIIC:
- Direct data entry
- Spreadsheet upload
- Electronic data exchange.
In 2022, more than 93% of immunizations administered were submitted through electronic data exchange. On average immunizations reported using electronic data exchange were submitted within one day of administration. Comparatively, immunizations reported through direct data entry were reported an average three days after administration, and immunizations reported through spreadsheet upload were reported an average 23 days.
If your organization is not yet reporting data electronically, learn more about the Process for Working on Data Exchange with MIIC. Contact the MIIC Help Desk at health.miichelp@state.mn.us to get started with the onboarding process.
Every organization that participates in MIIC must have a designated MIIC administrator. For organizations with multiple facilities, typically the organization designates a MIIC administrator for each site. MIIC administrators oversee the MIIC accounts for the staff at their site and are responsible for setting up new accounts, reactivating inactive accounts, manually inactivating accounts, and resetting user passwords in MIIC. A site’s MIIC administrator should be the first contact when a user needs help. If you do not know who your MIIC administrator is, contact the MIIC Help Desk at health.miichelp@state.mn.us with your organization code.
If you are a MIIC administrator for your organization and are unsure how to manage user accounts, visit Managing Users: MIIC User Guidance and Training Resources to learn how. Contact the MIIC Help Desk if you have additional questions about managing user accounts.
Shared user accounts are a violation of the MIIC Data Use Agreement (DUA); all users must have a unique username and password.
Our four-part MIIC webinar series started on Wednesday, April 19. In each session, staff will cover several aspects of MIIC and will include time for questions at the end. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be provided for each session.
Please come with questions or submit your questions in advance to the MIIC Help Desk at health.miichelp@state.mn.us. We hope to see you there!
