1.6
For children in the NIR birth cohort, registration information will be provided from the maternity system for 90-95% of children. Primary health care providers will need to supply registration information for others - for example, new migrants, home births and all those receiving MeNZB™ who are not already registered on the NIR. The information required for an NIR registration is appended.
1.7
In special circumstances, primary health care providers will need to provide some additional information to the NIR. This will include:
(a) notifying the NIR when an individual (or their parent/guardian) wishes to "opt off" having any future immunisation data recorded on the NIR;
(b) notifying the NIR of a referral to an outreach immunisation service or of a validated adverse event following immunisation (AEFI), the death of a registered individual, or a request for a Status Query Request by a provider.
1.8
The Ministry of Health (and/or District Health Boards (DHBs) as their agent) will:
(a) Provide the central NIR application;
(b) Negotiate with and resource selected PMS vendors for software upgrades to allow PMS compatibility with the NIR (see Table 1);
(c) Resource selected maternity IT vendor systems to ensure the birth cohort is registered on the NIR;
(d) Provide national privacy, security and operational policies for management of data on the NIR;
(e) Provide a national governance body for the NIR;
(f) Provide vaccinator and non-vaccinator operational manuals for NIR users;
(g) Provide immunisation promotion and NIR information resources for the public;
(h) Support PHOs and primary care providers to conform with NIR data requirements (including support for PMS upgrades, and for DHB project management, provider liaison funding for NIR implementation and provider training, via DHB funding);
