Onboarding Steps for Iron Bridge Integration - Immunization Registries

DrChrono has partnered with Iron Bridge to help connect our primary care and immunizing providers to all state immunization registries with one integration. Through this partnership, our customers will be able to easily and quickly connect to their practice’s state registry to submit applied and historical vaccine data as well as query for the below to meet MIPS and state reporting requirements.
