Statewide Immunization Registry
The Kansas Immunization Registry, referred to as KSWebIZ is a statewide registry for vaccinations/immunizations. KSWebIZ is web-based and contains lifespan immunization records that are complete, accurate, and secure for Kansas residents.
The purpose of KSWebIZ is to consolidate immunization information among health care professionals, assure adequate immunization levels, and avoid unnecessary immunizations. Registry data is used by healthcare professionals to monitor the immunization status of children and adults; assure compliance with state statutes on immunization requirements for individuals; identify geographic areas at high risk due to low immunization rates, and document and assess vaccination coverage during disease outbreaks.
How to Participate in KSWebIZ
Agencies who give immunizations or have access to immunization information are currently targeted for registry access. KSWebIZ allows users to generate Kansas Certificate of Immunizations (KCIs), Pink Cards, and the Vaccine Documentation and Consent form electronically. The system has a recommender function that assists the provider in determining immunizations needed by the patient and can generate a reminder for immunizations that are due or past due. KSWebIZ has a full inventory tracking module and produces a multitude of reports based on doses administered. The system is Web-based and secure, making patient records mobile wherever the Internet is accessible.
