Managing Patient Immunization Information

You can manage a patient’s immunizations, including any immunizations that you administered or information from an immunization card the patient may have provided, through the Immunization Administration window.

The information you record is included in clinical summary and patient health history CCR files created in the eDocuments tab. You can also register the immunizations with an immunization registry by sending a file in the HL7 2.3.1 format. Submitting electronic data to an immunization registry helps your practice meet MIPS promoting interoperability criteria. To better understand MIPS and its criteria, visit qpp.cms.gov.
