Administering Immunizations High-Level Workflow and Tips

To support your practice’s Immunizations administration process, determine which Immunizations workflow or task is appropriate to perform for each patient. The Immunizations functionality enables you to select the appropriate vaccines, provide vaccine details during administration, and track and complete each Immunization life cycle efficiently. There may be various scenarios a physician and clinical staff encounter when ordering and executing an immunization. For example, special patient needs, such as a VFC-eligibility, allergy sensitivities, or parental consent; billing considerations, available vaccines in the inventory, and ensuring the most appropriate vaccines are selected according to immunization schedules. The Immunizations workflows range from basic, such when you administer a flu shot, or more specific considerations, such as administering vaccines for Medicare patients, administering live vaccines, or when a vaccine is not in the inventory.

Immunizations Workflow Considerations

Consider your primary patient types for your practice, such as pediatric. Consider your overall workflow. How are your immunizations selected and processed currently? What groups primarily administer the immunizations after the physician selects the immunizations for a patient? Does your practice have VIS forms that you produce manually or will you be attaching them to Immunizations orders to print electronically? Do you administer VFC immunizations to children in your practice? If so, you must select the VFC reason and funding source. Do you need to submit immunizations to your state's mandated registry?
