Tracking Immunizations from a Medical Records Template

The Vaccines order control field on a Medical Records template displays the recommended immunizations schedule for a patient and the status of the immunizations from the Orders module.

Two tabs display different views of the immunization information:

  • The Chart tab displays the status of the vaccines scheduled for the patient from birth through the patient's current age. Based on practice preference, the vaccines scheduled at a pediatric age can be hidden.

    The top pane lists each vaccine and the most recent status. It may also show the dosage sequence and status. The bottom pane displays all of the data for a selected vaccine.

  • The Recommendation tab displays a list of standard, recommended vaccines from birth through adulthood along with the status. Based on practice preference, the vaccines scheduled at a pediatric age can be hidden.

    The top pane lists the recommended vaccines by age and shows the most recent status. The bottom pane displays all of the data for the selected vaccine.

You can set up user preferences to display either tab as the default view. The Recommendation tab view is the system default.

The Vaccines order control is enabled on a locked encounter, but the New Order and Historical actions are disabled.
