E-Prescribing vaccines in Epic EHR
Keeping track of patient vaccination requirements is an important aspect in the delivery of ongoing patient care. Alerts based on patient age, vaccination history, time since previous vaccination, and risk factors help streamline care and reduce the burden on providers to keep track of recommended vaccination requirements. This is especially helpful to ensure patients complete all doses in a vaccination series. In Allscripts Professional, these are called Reminders.
Benefits of vaccine Reminders
Automated vaccine Reminders reduce the need to manually check records to assess patient vaccination needs, and help ensure that patients receive appropriate and timely vaccinations according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.
Considerations:
- In many electronic health record (EHR) systems, alerts for vaccines are not automatically created when a vaccine is added to the EHR immunization schedule. The alert will trigger based upon vaccination history
- A vaccine administered by another practice or in the pharmacy may not have been documented in the EHR; a Reminder could be triggered for a vaccine the patient has already received. Maintaining updated vaccine history for patients will minimize duplication
- User privileges to create Reminders may be limited to select users with specific security privileges or subject to practice business policies
If you have further technical questions, consult your internal or external EHR support resources.

Creating a reminder for GSK vaccines in Allscripts Professional EHR
Allscripts Professional EHR enables the setup of Reminders, based on certain criteria. Available criteria include vaccination schedule, diagnosis, and other clinical or patient demographic information. The Reminders are displayed when the data in the patient chart meet the criteria.
For example, a Reminder may be created to identify which patients are due or overdue for Product X. Reminders can be created in bulk based on a report (Patient List) that lists all patients who are overdue for Product X.
Using the reports section, Patient Lists can be created and Reminders set up to help providers be reminded of immunizations due. When a patient’s vaccine becomes due or is overdue, the Reminder displays in the patient’s chart.
Below is a summary of the process to create a Patient Reminder for Product X.
How to run a report to identify patients for Reminders
- Open the Reporting Module
- Navigate to Patient Reports, Segments
- Create a new Segment with the following criteria:
- Demographic Criterion – Age ≥50 years
- Demographic Criterion – Status – Active
- Demographic Criterion – Status >< Deceased
- Execute the segment
