Instructions for Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) and becoming an Electronic Trading Partner (ETP) with the Tennessee Immunization Information System (TennIIS) .
The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) supports Public Health Reporting in accordance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR Incentive Programs or Quality Payment Programs. See TDH Declaration of Readiness.
To register your intent to report to public health, go to Trading Partner Registration. Trading Partner Registration (TPR) is an application that allows potential trading partners (i.e. eligible hospitals, eligible professionals, pharmacies, laboratories, and others) to register their intent to electronically exchange data with the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH). TPR provides documentation that can be utilized for attestation and audits from end to end through the use of milestone letters documenting the on-boarding progress and the active engagement status.

Background
CMS has specified three components for demonstrating Meaningful Use under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program:
- Use of certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner (e.g., electronic prescribing);
- Use of certified EHR technology for the electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care; and
- Use of certified EHR technology to report clinical quality measures (CQMs) and other such measures as selected by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Note: You must register as a parent organization and each location as a facility.
