Saving Time with Florida SHOTS–Part 3
published by: Aliera P.Florida SHOTS staff have heard many anecdotal accounts that using the registry saves offices time in all tasks related to immunizations—from determining shots to be given to using the registry to store and print shot records. In order to quantify what actual time savings are, we timed immunization record-keeping-related tasks in participating Florida SHOTS offices.
Key Finding #3:
Data upload allows you to batch and transmit an unlimited number of patient immunization records to the Florida SHOTS secure database in less than 4 minutes.
Observations of Integration of Florida SHOTS into Data Upload Office:
At the beginning of the day, this pediatric practice manually enters shots for those not in Florida SHOTS. The office uses Noteworthy EMR for data upload. This office uses Florida SHOTS to get other providers’ records, add their records in (from shots given at their office), and print blue forms. If the child is up-to-date for their shots, they will go ahead and certify the record in Florida SHOTS, because it takes no additional time to certify it. They try to upload files at least every 2 weeks. Even though they are in the registry daily, data upload still saves them time.
