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.

This task ensures that your registry stays up-to-date and meets Meaningful Use requirements. The system updates or changes an Immunizations order that has already been sent to the registry when you perform any of the following actions: Add, cancel, or delete an Immunizations order. Add, cancel, or delete a vaccine in an Immunizations order. Update an Immunizations order’s vaccine or clinical information. Mark an Immunizations order as Entered in Error. Edit or Update a Historical Immunizations order. Note: The system does not send Immunizations orders with a Pending status to the registry. System Updates the Immunizations Registry Parent topic
