CERNER MILLENNIUM Abstracting Chart Data Into Unity: Immunizations Excerpt This presentation reviews strategies for moving immunization data from legacy records into the Unity chart. It is particularly pertinent to adult vaccinations recorded in legacy records but never also recorded in the state ImmPRINT immunization database. This is adapted from the larger lesson Abstracting Old Records Into Unity. This demonstration has been updated to reflect the appearance & functionality of MPage 6.9. This has been prepared using Millennium base code level 2015.01.21 & MPage 6.9. Subsequent updates may display cosmetic & functional changes. Any names displayed are fictitious. Use the keyboard or mouse to advance.

Immunizations Via Direct Manual Entry If you have access to paper records, ImmPRINT, or our legacy computer systems that show previous vaccinations, the simplest approach to add this to the Unity chart may be just to record it manually. Here’s how to do that.

Go to the Immunizations component of the a Workflow tab (MPage) Go to the Immunizations component of the a Workflow tab (MPage). This could be one of the specialty-specific provider workflow MPages, or a nursing workflow MPage.

Click the + Sign/Down Arrow, & you’ll see a dropdown list Click the + Sign/Down Arrow, & you’ll see a dropdown list. Then click Document History.

Scroll through the list & click on the vaccines you want to document Scroll through the list & click on the vaccines you want to document. You can select more than one. In this example we’ll use Measles, Mumps, Rubella. When done click Select.

Administration Date & Source of information are required fields Administration Date & Source of information are required fields. Note that the dropdown list for Administration Date gives you options when you don’t know the exact date, such as just entering the year.

If you know the exact brand/type of vaccine, you can pick that on the Product dropdown list. And there are fields to add other information if known & important. When done, click Submit.

Make further entries as required Make further entries as required. As you add information, the updates appear on the Immunizations component.

Conclusion It’s unfortunate that our prior immunization data did not migrate in a more automated fashion, but this will give you an approach to getting the Unity chart up to date going forward. Also, work is still in progress to get an interface with IMMPrint up and running, so eventually that will be a very valuable tool.
