Top Strategies for Managing Patient Records
To ensure complete and accurate patient records, practices must manage their patient population within the MIIS. Below are the MDPH Top Strategies for Increasing Immunization Coverage Rates: Managing Patient Records as well as supplemental resources.
1. Report Immunizations
Reporting complete patient records ensures all information is available to make accurate assessments. This includes administered vaccines from your practice and historical information for immunizations administered outside your practice.
2. Manage Patient Active/Inactive Status
Confirm your patient population is up to date to prevent over representation on coverage reports which could lead to lower immunization rates for your practice. Patient status in the MIIS is either ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive.’ ‘Inactive’ patients will not be included when determining your coverage rates.
