Make 680s Your Easiest Task Today

Kate H. — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:28:27 +0000

Remember when handwriting and signing countless 680s monopolized your day? Those days are gone forever. Electronically certify your patients 680s and never handwrite another 680.

Once 680s are electronically certified you can:
1. Give patients access to immunization records online.
2. Search by patient name, certification identifier, immunization service site, or a different date range.
3. Eliminate the wait for a signature on 680s.
4. Fulfill all 680 requests with a smile.

Which of your patients will need another varicella shot for kindergarten?

Find out quickly and easily with Florida SHOTS immunization tracking and assessment tools. Florida SHOTS Reminder/Recall tells you who’s due for any shot on the required immunization schedule, helping you plan ahead and keep your patients on track.

Immunization Make-up

Kate H. — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:00:03 +0000

Unsure what to do with a patient who missed an immunization? Should you administer it at the next visit? Can it be combined with other scheduled vaccinations? Florida SHOTS algorithms use the latest approved immunization schedule and take all of these questions into account when showing you shots for which your patients are due or overdue.

Make sure to record all vaccinations in Florida SHOTS for accurate, up-to-date patient records and help with keeping your patients on schedule.

We are developing a tool that will allow users to order Vaccines for Children Program vaccines directly from Florida SHOTS. Testing is underway now and we are estimating the tool will be complete in Fall 2012. More information will be available as the launch date approaches. As with all improvements to Florida SHOTS, free training will be available to all Florida SHOTS users.

Big news for the registry, participants, and patients. We have now topped 101 million shot records processed via data upload - a process that exports immunization information from electronic files and transfers it for import into the Florida SHOTS registry.

If you are not currently using data upload, contact Holly Graff at 877-888-SHOT (7468), Option 3 and start uploading!

Give Your Patients Freedom

Now that Florida SHOTS offers the SHOTS Record Retriever, your patients can experience freedom they have never had before. By certifying a 680 within 10 days of issuing your patients a pin, your patients are able to view their records online for as long as the certified 680 is valid.

The Red Asterisk

Kate H. — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:18:04 +0000

When you are reviewing shot entries in patient records, do not ignore red asterisks that might appear in patient records. The red asterisk denotes invalid shots. If you see a red asterisk in one of your patient records, place your mouse over the asterisk for an explanation of the issue regarding that shot entry.
