Exchange Data Settings |
Any provider organization wanting to exchange data with ALERT IIS must first call the state immunization program to set up a data exchange request.
Provider Organization is not set up to exchange data- If a Provider Organization has not been set up to exchange data this screen will display a message stating 'Please contact ALERT IIS staff to set up data exchange setting for your organization.'
Pending Exchange Data- Provider Organizations can only run 1 data exchange job at a time. If a Provider Organization tries to run a data exchange job while one is already running for the Provider Organization then a message will display on this screen stating 'Processing has not completed for previous data exchange.'

Data Types |
Flat File Format: Immunization data is passed to the central ALERT IIS using three flat files containing Patient, Immunization (optional), and Comment information (optional) respectively.
HL-7 File Format: The ANSI HL7 standard is widely used for data exchange in the health care industry. The CDC has worked with HL7 developers to create a set of messages that permit exchange of immunization data, that will be used for patient and immunization record exchanged between the ALERT IIS and outside systems.
