Let Florida SHOTS Help Deal with Back-to-School Rush
published by: Kate H.With another school year approaching and stacks of 680 requests, Florida SHOTS is reminding healthcare providers to keep immunization records up-to-date and easily accessible through Florida SHOTS online immunization registry. Florida SHOTS offers a manageable solution to doctor’s offices faced with back-to-school 680 requests as it allows registered healthcare providers, schools and childcare centers, and parents quick access to printable and electronically certified DH Form 680s (now accepted on plain paper!).
Florida SHOTS provides the following benefits for physicians:
- Prints a 680 in 27 seconds compared to the 2 ½ minutes required to write a blue form by hand
- Provides a reliable immunization history for any child, whether a new or continuing patient
- Produces the legal immunization record (DH Form 680) required for school, camp and day care center attendance and creates a system-certified electronic copy accessible to schools, childcare centers, and parents
- Identifies patients’ previously reported contraindications
- Provides definitive information on immunizations that are due or overdue
- Reduces paperwork by automating reporting as well as recall and reminder functions
