About The Client
A community healthcare organization in the Northeast, this client has hundreds of employees, volunteers and contractors, operates multiple health centers and serves thousands of patients annually.
Immunization Tracking Troubles
Per CDC recommendations, this community health system’s employees must stay current on certain vaccines. With employee and new-hire immunization status tracked in disparate databases across its various health centers, the organization was losing critical time and resources hunting down and manually reconciling employee data to track and ensure compliance. During flu shot season, reconciliations often had to be done weekly, and sometimes daily, typically taking four to five hours and several staff members to complete.
In addition to time lost to data entry and the added risk that comes with manual reconciliation, the existing reporting process created workplace stress for staff members and revenue considerations for leadership.
Adding Software, Gaining Workflow Expertise
The assistant director of clinical compliance was tasked with finding a software solution to centralize vaccination data storage, tracking and reporting. After existing vendors were unable to address the need, the assistant director and team broadened the search and assessed several software products. In the end, they selected Immuware’s vaccination management software due to the technology and consultative advantages it provided, including:
- A highly intuitive interface and user experience
- A rich, yet easy-to-use feature set
- Workflow configuration and tailoring capabilities that allow for easy adaptation to unique tech and operational specifications
- Automation features, including automated immunization and booster reminders
- A highly engaged solution and support team on hand to support workflow optimization and ensure implementation efficiency and excellence
- Sleek and simple reporting dashboards for rapid data collection, analysis, and sharing
