Massachusetts System for Advanced Registration-MSAR

I wanted to update you all with some news regarding the MRC/MSAR Integration efforts:

The MRC Implementation Advisory and Steering Committees have been hard at work providing comments on the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and draft Terms and Conditions documents. The MRC Marketing Advisory and Steering Committees have been finalizing the tagline and logo of the integrated statewide volunteer registry database, "MA Responds." The final logo, with tagline, is attached.

Collaborative Fusion, Inc. has been selected as the vendor to implement the data system. Collaborative Fusion will provide a volunteer management system for the Commonwealth that will have the capacity and functionality to integrate information for local, regional and state volunteer programs including but not limited to Medical Reserve Corps units and MSAR. Collaborative Fusion already provides this type of system for California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and twelve other states.

PS  Wachusett MRC has not participated in this yet, we are at this time only monitoring the progress. 

When the confirmed cases are analyzed by race/ethnicity according to their overall population, there are still alarming disparities in the rates of confirmed H1N1 influenza. The rates of laboratory confirmed H1N1 influenza among Asian, Black and Hispanic residents are more than two to four times as high as those for white residents.
