Florida SHOTS™: Keeping SHOTS in Check

We’ve been blogging about the benefits of data upload. Does it leave you wondering how Florida SHOTS data upload works?

That depends on the software you are currently using in your office. Each software links to the registry in a different way. Some linkages are completely automated; some work with a few simple steps on the office computer that generates the upload file. In a nutshell, all data upload linkages extract information that’s been entered by the office into your practice management, EMR, or billing software, and then send that shot information directly to the registry so you do not have to manually enter it again into Florida SHOTS.

Did you know that the Florida SHOTS data upload link is included in more than 50 medical software packages? If your office uses one of these packages, the ability to automatically upload immunization records to Florida SHOTS may be available to your practice.

Most software companies provide the Florida SHOTS link at no charge; however, some do charge a one-time access fee. Uploading to Florida SHOTS is free of charge, as is training and tech support. Start uploading today and save your practice valuable hours of manual data entry.

Do you input vaccination records into the state’s immunization registry? With data upload, this can be done with the click of a button through linkages with more than 50 medical software packages. When your patients’ vaccination records are up-to-date in Florida SHOTS’ secure, online database, you will be able to give parents online access to their children’s records, allow other healthcare professionals to access patients’ shot records, and electronically certify shot records for quick, convenient school access to 680s.

If your software is on the following list but you are not participating in data upload, call Holly Graff at 877-888-SHOT (7468), extension 3, to find out more about how your office can participate.
