New Reconciling Outside Immunizations Workflow

The Reconciling Outside Immunizations workflow has been updated to help ensure the most correct data is reconciled into the patient’s chart.

  • When an outside immunization is identified as Similar to an Existing Immunization documented in the chart, you can’t merge the details.

    • If you identify the details of the external immunization are more clinically accurate, replace the existing historical immunization with the external information.

  • To help you accurately review and reconcile immunizations, use the Expand All button to expand the rows and review details of external administrations.

 

Example:

  • If the patient reports that they’ve received a tetanus immunization through another organization:

  • You’ll add a historical immunization administration on the patient’s chart as a placeholder.

    • Include as much detail as possible, but you can’t record an exact immunization date or lot number.

    • After querying Care Everywhere, you’ll receive a similar immunization administration from the organization that administered the tetanus immunization, including the administration date, dose, lot number, injection site and manufacturer.

    • Replace the historical administration with the external administration.
