Medications—Reason required for discontinuing a standing vaccination order
To help MGH achieve the target of 95% patient vaccination rate, standing orders for vaccinations to prevent pneumococcal infections and seasonal influenza are placed automatically on eligible patients. If you discontinue a standing order, you must document the reason.
Key Features:
If you discontinue a standing vaccination order, you are prompted to select a reason for doing so.
If the selected reason for discontinuing a standing vaccination order is that the patient is allergic to the vaccine, you are prompted to select the allergic reaction(s), then to sign, which adds the allergy directly to the patient's record in PEAR (Partners Enterprise Allergy Repository).
