USMEF to Host PHIS Workshops
USMEF to Host PHIS Workshops
Please join us at one of the following USMEF stakeholder workshops for meat, poultry and egg product exporters:
- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2008, at the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council, 2300 W. Park Place Blvd., Suite 100, Stone Mountain, GA 30087. Tel: (770) 413-0006
- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008 at Gleacher Center, 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago, IL 60611 Tel: (312) 464-8787
SAIC, the systems integrator assisting USMEF, USAPEEC and FSIS to establish the industry’s needs and technical requirements, will facilitate the sessions. SAIC also is developing the new system.
The workshops are designed to inform industry participants about what progress has been made and to explain the plans for the new FSIS Public Health Information System (PHIS), which will automate the application for export certificates as well as their generation and distribution. Presenters will share “wireframes” or “screen mock-ups” of the system for industry feedback prior to the design being finalized. The minimum capability for the industry’s use of the new system is internet access, but companies also may elect to implement the optional computer-to-computer application for export, so information about that interface will also undergo review and feedback from the industry.
The workshops were developed for business users responsible for managing operations for preparation and issue of export documentation and for information technology personnel in companies that elect to develop the optional computer-to-computer interface.
