What Is I-CARE?

I-CARE, or Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange, is a web based immunization record-sharing application developed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). The application allows public and private healthcare providers to share the immunization records of Illinois residents with other physicians statewide.

What Is the Purpose of I-CARE?

I-CARE is designed to help healthcare provider’s record, track, and report their patients’ immunizations. The registry allows physicians to access patient records for information about immunizations administered outside their practices. Provider participation is voluntary and not all providers within the state choose to participate in the registry.

What About Security and Patient Confidentiality?

I-CARE is designed to protect patient confidentiality while providing access to statewide registry information. Confidentiality is maintained through several security controls.

Enrolling in I-CARE

Since I-CARE is a web-based application, you will need reliable high-speed internet access, preferably with a dedicated connection.

Submitting and Exchanging Data

If you are a provider and use an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, you may be able to share data with I-CARE using HL7 data exchange. You will need to contact your EHR vendor to determine if your EHR system is HL7 compatible. You also may need to acquire an additional interface for your EHR to send and exchange immunization data.

How Can I Send Immunization Data to the IDPH?

The IDPH has implemented HL7 data exchange using two methods. The first method is one-way data transfer of unsolicited vaccine record updates to the statewide registry. This method accepts batch immunization data using the Department’s Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) system or the I-CARE application.

User Training

I-CARE users may access a variety of training tools by selecting the new user button on the I-CARE application home page. These training tools include

TOL Secure Patient Portal
