ABSTRACT
Data cleansing practices aimed to improve data quality in immunization information systems (IIS) continue to be identified and evaluated by immunization programs to generate accurate and reliable immunization coverage rates. The Iowa Immunization Program has implemented several automated, daily data cleansing practices to improve the quality of records in Iowa's Immunization Registry Information System (IRIS), including the process of sealing records of deceased individuals through vital records matching. This process removes deceased individual records from the active IIS population, which helps reduce denominator inflation and improve the accuracy of immunization rate calculations. Other benefits to this process include decreasing record fragmentation, increasing completeness and accuracy of IIS data, improving reminder/recall functionality, and supporting better clinical decision-making for providers. This process is one of multiple practices implemented in IIS to improve data quality and is limited by several factors, including the inability to capture deaths for out-of-state records.
