TriMed Complete introduces a faster way to log flu vaccines that were administered outside the practice. During flu season patients often receive a flu shot somewhere besides your practice, such as a pharmacy, and at times it is important for the practice to notate this information. 

This feature will also be beneficial for practices that are working to meet specific care quality measures. For example, eCQM measure ID CMS147 takes into account patients who received an influenza immunization OR who reported previous receipt of an influenza immunization. This enhancement can help a practice gather this information with fewer clicks.

There is a new section in Admin > Immunizations > Influenza called Outside Flu Shot.

Enter a Flu Name, Group, and CVX, and click save.

Now on the vaccine schedule, a "Log Outside Flu" button will appear. 

Clicking this will allow the user to select a flu shot, enter comments, and add an approximate date given.

The system will save the flu shot as a historic vaccine and a record will appear when clicking the Flu History icon. If the approximate date given is within the current flu season setup in Admin then the system will recognize it as a flu shot given this season.
