Nebraska DHHS: Nebraska State Immunization Information System (NESIIS): Provider Information

Nebraska State Immunization Information System (NESIIS)
Provider Information

As a provider you may wonder how NESIIS will work for you.

Have you ever had a system that identifies each patient’s needed immunizations using the ACIP immunization schedule?
Have you ever had a system that allows you to track your organizations vaccine inventory and be alerted when inventory is running low or going to expire?
Have you ever had a system that provides you immediate access to a patient’s immunization history, whether administered by a public or private provider within the state?

NESIIS can do all of these items and much more. The system includes a solid deduplication and associated data quality/management tools to combine all available information of a particular individual into a single, accurate record. An interface with the Nebraska vital and death records system keeps NESIIS updated with newborn information.

In addition, NESIIS is a great tool to ease your organization into EMR and if you already have EMR, no problem. NESIIS has the capability to electronically exchange data with your EMR system.
