January User Group Meeting and CHIRP Training


The Indiana State Department of Health will be conducting Children and Hoosier Immunization Registry Program (CHIRP) User Group Meetings in 2013. These meetings are an opportunity to users to meet with the CHIRP administrative staff, hear programmatic updates, learn about new tools and resources and address concerns relating to the registry. The Indiana State Department of Health will be incorporating many of the recommendations from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report in 2013 and these meetings will be a great way for providers using the registry to learn how the registry can assist them with documentation.

By the end of each meeting, the attendees will be able to: 1) understand the system requirements needed to operate CHIRP; 2) identify common mistakes users make; 3) generate a doses administered report; 2) generate a vaccine inventory report and 3) generate a reminder recall list. Participants will also have the opportunity to submit concerns in advance and have them answered during the meeting.

Registration for these events can be done by clicking here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the help desk at (888) 227-4439.
