September 2025 Highlights

 Making Student Immunization Records Easier to Access

MiHIN is helping simplify how families access student immunization records through a new feature in their school’s student portal. With one click, a legal guardian can trigger a message to MiHIN requesting the immunization information needed. MiHIN then securely routes the request to MCIR, which responds with the student’s vaccination record. The vaccination record is sent back through MiHIN and delivered to the student portal for immediate review and printing.  

This process eliminates the need to contact a provider, pay for records, or wait several days for access. Guardians can immediately print the record for school sports, summer camps, or the first day of school, and see if their student is overdue – or nearing overdue – for any vaccines.

MCIR Onboarding Freeze Dates Announced

The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) has released its formal announcement regarding onboarding freeze dates to support their modernization migration.

As part of the transition to the new STC|ONE immunization information system, all HL7 onboarding activities will be paused beginning October 1, 2025. This temporary freeze is designed to ensure a smooth migration to the updated platform.

Key details include:

• Sites currently in the onboarding queue must complete MiHIN paperwork, connectivity setup, testing, and data quality review in the legacy MCIR environment by September 30, 2025.
• Beginning October 1, 2025, pending and new HL7 registrations will be tracked but will not proceed to testing or production until after the new system launches.
• HL7 onboarding is expected to resume in early April 2026, following the successful rollout of STC|ONE.

Diretto Upgrade: Updated Requirements

MiHIN is upgrading Diretto, our Direct Secure Messaging (DSM) application, to align with updated DirectTrust requirements. Diretto is a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted email platform that enables providers, payers, and other healthcare organizations to securely exchange protected health information.

What’s New?
The upgrade introduces access to the DirectTrust National Provider Directory, allowing users to search for secure email contacts nationwide by provider name, National Provider Identifier (NPI), city, or state. This enhancement makes it easier than ever to connect and share information securely across the country.

Updated Onboarding Form
To support these changes, MiHIN’s onboarding form has been revised with a few new required fields, including:

• Primary Service Type offered at the geographic address
• Organization NPI
• Name of Organization
• Organization City
• Organization Specialty Code (NUCC Code)

These updates ensure that Diretto users are included in the national directory and can take full advantage of the new search functionality.

MIGateway® Update

MiHIN has updated Health Directory organization data, which affects organization names in MIGateway Transitions of Care (TOC) Viewer, Manage Active Care Relationship Service (ACRS)®, and Patient Viewer, as well as facility classifications in TOC Viewer.

Organization names were revised to reflect current “doing business as” names and improve formatting consistency. Please note that names and types may change based on ongoing ACRS Delivery Preference file submissions, which updates the Health Directory in real time.

Continued collaboration from Michigan Integrated Technology Platform (MITP) data contributors is essential to keeping organization information current. If you notice an organization name that needs updating or have questions about MIGateway data, please contact the MiHIN Help Desk.
