B7: Quality Improvement -- The Key to a Successful Registry

This session will focus on the efforts of Immunization Registries to implement data quality measures. These measures include one example to eliminate duplicate records. Another example describes an effort to verify data on the last point before it is committed to the Registry’s data base. This session will also look at how the PROW Standards contributed to successful Registry operations.
Learning Objectives: Participants will learn the role of data quality in successful registry operation, and see how de-duplication supports immunization record.
