  3. OHIO • Population of State = 11.4 million* • Cleveland = 478,000 • Cincinnati = 331,000 • Columbus = 702,000 • Annual Birth Cohort = 155,700** • Franklin County (Columbus) = 17,400 * U.S. Census Data 2000, ** Ohio Department of Health Vital Statistics

  4. Historical Timeline IMPACTSIIS • The ODH immunization registry began collecting data from public health clinics in 1997 • Public health clinics have entered data into their PC’s using special front end software (private or ODH designed) • Data forwarded via batch uploads using modems 1-4 times a month • Registry access was via telephone using interactive voice response (IVR) • Key Issue: At least 60%-65% is administered in private sector

  5. Changing Climate • Lessons Learned Since 1997 • Servicing front end software for 88 counties impractical • Data extracted from PC’s can be corrupted or lost in transmission via modem batch uploads • Extracts from billing systems met with resistance • Current Trends • 2000 NVAC adopts minimum core standard for all US registries • HL7 protocol mandated by HIPAA • ODH recognizes web offers best option for public and private providers

  6. Project L.O.V.E. (Love Our Kids...Vaccinate Early!) is a unique partnership between Franklin County hospitals, area physicians, City of Columbus and Franklin County Health Departments, local businesses and community organizations, whose goal is to assure that Franklin County 2 year-olds are fully immunized.

  7. Project L.O.V.E. Two Primary Goals Market an Immunization Registry among central Ohio physicians in order to establish a centralized source of individual immunization records across the county and state Maintain and improve current immunization levels throughout the general population of Franklin County

Partners • Hospitals (Mount Carmel, Doctors, Grant, Riverside, St. Ann’s, Ohio State University and Children’s) • Foundations (Columbus Medical Association Foundation and The Columbus Foundation) • Ross Labs • 2 Health Departments (Franklin County Board of Health and Columbus Health Department) • Pharmaceutical Companies (Merck, Wyeth & Glaxo Smith Klein) • Columbus Compact Corporation (Empowerment Zone) • Media (NBC4) • Political Officials (Mayor and Representatives)

  9. Franklin County’s Quest for a Registry • 1993-1997 • Focus Groups • Planning • 1997-2000 • Pilot Central Repository (Public Health) • Talking Relationship With ODH • 3 Options • Develop a registry locally • Buy an existing system • Partner with ODH

  10. Three Options • Develop System Locally • Money to develop AND sustain • Technical upkeep • Buy HII or STC? • Money to purchase AND Maintenance • Not “our” system • Web-based • ODH • “Free” for us • Our input made the system • Strengths and Weaknesses Fit
