Interventions – Policy Creation
• During interview, RN asks vaccination questions• Patient Sticker adhered to Pneumovax Stickers• RN checks “did” or “did not” on sticker• Unit Clerk checks RECIN for vaccination status
– (Regional Early Childhood Immunization Network)• If Yes, Physicians signs #1 and #2
– #1 to Pharmacy, #2 on Progress Notes• If No due to previous vaccination
– #3 is signed and placed into the progress notes• If No due to Patient or Physician refusal
– #4 is signed and placed into the progress notes
