Require Approval for Early Immunization Orders
TriMed Complete introduces a new Standard Preference: “Require approval on immunization ordered before due date.” When enabled, an immunization ordered before the due date or outside the patient's recommended schedule will display a pop-up that must be acknowledged before the order can be completed. This feature reduces the risk of unintended vaccine administration and ensures deliberate clinical decision-making when deviating from standard recommendations.
To enable, navigate to Admin > Standard Preferences > Standard Preferences > Immun/Injection.
In the example below, an MMR and Varicella immunization is ordered for an 8-month-old, even though the minimum age for those vaccines is 12 months.
The Vaccine Warning pop-up will display the earliest available date for each vaccine.
To proceed, users will be required to select the checkbox and click 'Ok.' An optional comment can be entered in the textbox. Clicking 'Cancel' will remove the ordered vaccines.
If immunizations within normal limits were ordered alongside immunizations outside the recommended guidelines, clicking 'Cancel' will only cancel the immunizations outside the recommended guidelines.
The approval is logged as an annotation, which can be viewed under the pin icon.
