During the new Vaccination Module rollout, the most recent vaccination records for patients will be migrated from the Manage Clinical screen and will be visible on the new screens. On *Oct. 1, the vaccination fields will no longer appear on the Manage Clinical screen.
Additionally, this new EQRS reporting process for vaccinations is an event-based reporting process. This means that EQRS users must submit vaccination data when a vaccination event occurs. A vaccination event occurs when a patient:
- Receives a vaccine dose administered by the reporting facility
- Receives a vaccine dose by an outside provider with documentation
- Receives a vaccine dose which is self-reported with or without documentation
- Does not receive a vaccine dose offered by the reporting facility
In addition to reporting vaccination information when a vaccination event occurs, facilities must also review patient vaccination history and enter any confirmed vaccination information in EQRS upon each patient admission to the facility. Facilities have until *Oct.1 to fully transition their Hepatitis B, Influenza and Pneumococcal vaccination reporting process in EQRS to the new Vaccinations Module (displayed in Figure 2 below) that is located under the Vaccinations tab on the Manage Patient screen.
