2023 Bronze Medal Award

AWARD CITATION

The team is recognized for helping to fight communicable diseases by improving the technology relied on by clinicians. The team designed and implemented the Forecasting for Immunization Test Suite (FITS), a web-based test environment that determines whether systems used by clinicians are providing correct and up-to-date vaccine recommendations for a given patient. This collaborative effort with the HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Immunization Registry Association has led to a 74% improvement in the accuracy of vaccine recommendations.
