I'm trying to meet all our measures especially since CMS is proposing only a 90 day reporting period again....word has it. I'm looking to add a date button to record the historical data of a flu vaccination on my intake form. The form is in VFE. Any ideas on how you would present that and what obs term it needs to go to for Meaningful use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since GE upgraded systems a while back, I believe the Flu would need to be recorded in the newer Immunizaiton table, and not the OBS table.

I approached this with a data entry screen that included:

Flu shot given at: with a drop-down list including CVS, Walgreens, employer

Flu shot date:

Both of those stored to OBS terms, but then a button to record the shot into the newer Immunization table.

If that is an approach you might try, let me know and I can try to post the VFE for the MA Initial Intake that would demonstrate.

I'm also at an ortho clinic and since we will never give the flu vax ourselves we record only a generic time frame that the patient received it (within the last 6 months, 6-12 months ago, 12-24 months ago, more than 2 years ago, never, can't remember). We store this to the observation FLU VAX and then have a button that pushes an order containing the SNOMED code for flu vaccine (SCT-185902006).

I think I want to try your approach Joe. Can you post the VFE form so I can see how you are doing it? That would help me out tremendously. Trying to get this all in place by October so we can report this measure for 2017.

Thanks!

The following is the MA intake screen. At the bottom is the .dlg file for the screen.

I highlighted in purple the immunization section.

I have the MA use a drop-down list to note where, and the a place to enter the date. Finally, there is a darker green button "Flu VAX html" which writes to the new IMMUNIZATION table.

When I try to pull that dlg file into VFE, the form goes blank and throws me an error message. Can you go into your form and copy the run process coding you have behind the button and send me that?
