Infectious Disease Meaningful Use for Hawaii's Public Health Immunization Information System (IIS) Reporting To meet requirements, an eligible provider/hospital must perform at least one test of the certified EHR technology’s capacity to submit electronic data to an immunization registry. On-going electronic submissions of data are strongly encouraged if the test is successful. The statewide immunization information system (IIS) in Hawaii is known as the Hawaii Immunization Registry (HIR). Successful data submissions to the HIR should follow HL7 version 2.3.1 (future plans to upgrade to 2.5.1) specifications. Submissions using direct data entry, electronic transfer from billing systems, and electronic transfer in flat file format do not qualify for meaningful use.
