For the BMI screening, do we have to report through MIIS this year? I have always submitted through the on-line link and this year I cannot find a link anywhere. Another nurse told me she submitted through MIIS. I do not have access to MIIS (I submitted my immunization survey through survey monkey). If you have already done your BMI screenings can someone post the link here or confirm it is through MIIS so I can get that process started? Thanks ?

I did my MIIS immunization surveys (pre-k through survey monkey, Kinder through MIIS, if I recall correctly), I did not see an option to submit BMI information...

I did not see an option for BMI data submission on MIIS (which is a nightmare quite frankly ?). Submitted my K survey through MIIS, PK through survey monkey. I don't typically submit my BMI data for our district until closer to the end of the school year.

Those interested - I called and got a much better short way submit immunization data on the MIIS survey. They really only need you to the survey part with the numbers. Once I was told that, it was SO MUCH easier.

Re: BMI - the survey link moved off survey monkey two years ago. I have gotten the link usually in February via email in the past; haven't received it yet this year.

Also, I kinda hate that we still have to do BMI data, but that is a different thread...

Yes! Thru MIIS it is very easy to do! We had to do it before December 1 though.

ALSO, I totally agree with JenTheSchoolRN about the BMI data....in our district we dont do anything with the data except report it to the state, we dont send out letters or anything. I dont submit this data until the end of year when we have to do the "big report" for the state.

Gatez: I can help you with MIIS if you wish, just message me. It is actually very easy to get a report, IF the doctors office actually enters them!

Thanks everyone. I'll wait for the email this month. I loathe BMI- I do nothing with the data either.
