Immunizations Workflows

For each visit, you need the flexibility to work with the Immunization functions as each event occurs in real time. If needed, for example, you may need to do any of the following: View or hide dose exceptions when administering immunizations. Select and document Excluded Immunizations. Document that an Immunizations series is complete. Mark a patient who has no previously documented immunizations for reporting purposes and tracking. Report adverse events. Document erroneous or wasted immunizations. Open File Maintenance or the Vaccine Inventory as you process an Immunization order. Viewing or Hiding Dose Exceptions when Administering Immunizations Select Vaccines to Exclude Document that a Series is Complete Patient with no Previously Documented Immunizations Reporting Adverse Events and Accessing Other Immunizations Schedules Documenting Erroneous or Wasted Immunizations Access the Vaccine Inventory While Administering Immunizations Access Vaccine Billing While Administering Immuniza

Updating Lab and Radiology Orders

You can open an existing unlocked lab or radiology order and add or change details for it. You can also add comments for an updated order, if required. If the encounter associated with an order has been locked, you can only view the order. The Save, Save & Send, Save & Fax, Save & Print, or Save & Task actions are unavailable. When you update an unfinished order, you must complete all required fields that have been set up as Mandatory Data Points in File Maintenance Practice Preferences. These required fields appear in red text. If you do not fill in a required field, when you try to save your selections or entries, a message appears, prompting you to complete the field. For more information on setting up Mandatory Data Point fields in File Maintenance Practice Preferences, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest Orders Module Setup Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR .

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. You can perform other types of I

Administering Immunizations

Each patient is unique and the Immunizations module provides flexibility and efficient functionality to help you administer each immunization according to patient needs. After you determine which immunization the patient needs, the next step is to administer the specific Immunization order. Each order requires certain information about the vaccine and other pertinent information such as billing codes, registry, and special patient needs, for example Medicare patients. During the administration process, you can review the VIS history, print the VIS document, track the Immunizations life cycle for each order, and administer a vaccine not in the Vaccine Inventory. After you have administered the immunization, for your records, you can print the Immunization Summary report to view a patient’s immunizations. For an overview of the Immunizations Order process, see Administering Immunizations High-Level Workflow and Tips. While working on the Immunizations module, you can ensure your spelling
