Using prevention module for vaccines.
M
Meghan Davis
Primary care is tasked to offer RSV, Pneumonia and Shingles vaccines - most of these are done as one vaccine or a series and are due at a certain age or with specific illnesses.
We need the prevention module to see that these are due for a patient during visits for other reasons. Another example is Aotic aneurysm screening which is only needed once in men over age 65.
These sorts of one screening tasks in primary care are going in increase.
Currently we cannot turn on a prevention due unless they have had it happen once already eg we can only set the next mammo due not the first one. But for immunizations this is not helpful and often patients only need one dose. The inability to set something due, unless it has been done already, is very limiting
I would like to able to turn a prevention due in the module :
a) on mass by age of patient...ie everyone over x age it goes on automatically
b) individually - this is for high risk people out of the age
thank you
