Where in Centricity would I place a vacine information statement. The clinic has supplied a .pdf file that they would like to give to patients. I do not think the custom handouts function supports the pdf file. We don't really want to change to document formatting. How would I incorporate this into Centricity so it can be printed as a handout and given to the patient when they receive a Gardasil injection.

The CDC has RTF files (for use in electronic systems) available for all Vaccines Information Statements.

You will need to copy the RTF files into Wordpad (since CPS will not recognize RTF files or Word documents), then copy the Wordpad document into the EMR as a Handout.

There is a new Gardasil (4/15/15) that you can find at the link below:

Hope this helps!

Another option if you want to keep the formatting and depending on your workflow is you can use

fnUtilityOpenBrowser() in a form and put a url in quotes in the brackets. So if the CDC keeps the links consistent for their VIS you can point to either a webpage or pdf.

I actually built a VFE form to handle lots of stuff related to immunizations. First I went to the CDC website and through some copy/paste (and using an image program to crop the images) created handouts that were the two pasted images (most VIS are only 2 pages) for each immunization. This step also does an OBS-NOW to store that the VIS was given to the patient. Second was the creation of the VFE form with many immunizations listed, and a box next to each that will print the related handout of the VIS. Third, on the same VFE form, I have also added a box that will do the MEL-ADD-ORDER functions to automatically create the orders for the immunizations for our billing.

While many were confused by this, as the doctors and nurses have gotten comfortable with the simple button clicks, they love it.

So, while it may be work, we are now over 90% on knowing that the VIS was provided and that the billing order was entered.
