This involves the ability for provider s EHR to be able to send immunization files to WVSIIS in Health Level Seven (HL7) format. Achieving meaningful use helps determine whether an organization will be eligible to receive payments from either the Medicare EHR Incentive Program or the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. 38
