TriMed Complete introduces a new Standard Preference “Require approval on immunization ordered before due date.” When enabled, an immunization that is ordered before the due date or outside the recommended schedule for the patient will receive a pop-up that must be acknowledged before the order can be completed. This feature will help reduce the risk of unintended vaccine administration and ensure deliberate clinical decision-making when deviating from standard recommendations.

To enable, navigate to Admin>Standard Preferences>Standard Preferences>Immun/Injection tab:

For example, an MMR and Varicella immunization is ordered for an 8 month old when the minimum age is set for 12 months for those vaccines.

The Vaccine Warning pop-up will display showing the earliest available date for each vaccine that was ordered early.

To proceed, users will be required to check 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 on the pop-up will only cancel the immunizations outside the recommended guidelines.

The approval is logged as an annotation which can be viewed under the pin icon.
