Gilmore Research, Inc.
Use the back-and-forth arrows below to change screens.
VCS option selection screens are clear and easy to navigate.
All activity is tracked by user
for HIPAA compliance.
Vaccination Orders lists patients for whom
vaccines have been ordered today.
Orders may be automatically received
from your EMR or entered on demand.
This item is the one used day-to-day by
the nurses.
The Patient selection is where patients
demographics, received automatically
from your PM or EMR system, or
entered directly are created, displayed
and maintained.
Inventory Control is used
for tracking, ordering and
reporting.
Wait a minute…what exactly is a VCS?
The Technical Overview
The Vaccine Control System is a new program designed to help you manage
vaccine inventories. It facilitates ordering, receiving, administering, reordering
and reporting – the complete inventory cycle.
PC’s are stationed where vaccines are stored. When patients are being seen orders
may be sent automatically to the VCS from your EMR or entered directly.
Inventories are automatically checked, either for VFC or non-VFC depending on
the patient, and then suggests the lots that should be used.
On-hand inventory levels are automatically monitored and it lets you know when
supplies are running low. It can even monitor scheduled future appointments and
project inventory requirements and let you know if you may run low.
It includes a list of reports including an audit report for you to verify that all
administered vaccines are accounted for in your billing system.
The VCS improves accuracy and saves time – nurses no longer have to manually
record lot and NDC numbers – your EMR and PM can instantly be updated. And
since it can monitor upcoming appointments and anticipate vaccine needs you can
eliminate embarrassing rebookings.
Increased nurse productivity – pick the lot from the screen -
no more writing down, rekeying and manual messing with
NDC and Lot numbers…
Happier patients – no more “we seem to have run out
of…you’ll need to reschedule..” – happier patients = happier
providers
Better billings – accurate updating of NDC and lot numbers
– no more “lost” charges and hours spent auditing
Easier inventory management – know what and how much
to order – know where you stand now - know what you’re
going to need this month
Practically…what it means everyday…
A few things you should know first:
The VCS system can serve as a stand-alone and be interfaced with your
EMR and PM systems. Saves time and improves accuracy.
When interfaced with your PM system it can monitor scheduled
appointments and project upcoming needs. Eliminates rescheduling and lost
time.
It is a centralized system for all of your vaccine inventories in all of your
sites. Facilitates reordering and easy redistribution between sites.
Manages both VFC and non-VFC inventories. Easily make adjustments
between these two types of inventories.
Array of utilization and audit reports including VFC usage and balancing
to your PM billing system. Eliminate lost billings.
Automatically print required VIS and optional OIS forms in the patient’s
native language. Never run out of forms – satisfy legal VIS requirements
and promote more care with OIS forms.
The order selection screen lists patients waiting for their vaccines.
Orders may be received from your EMR or entered on demand.
Patients waiting
for vaccines… Requesting providers… Order status.
To complete the vaccines order and choose
the lots the patient
is selected from from the list above…
The VCS patient order screen is used to select available lots and print VIS and OIS sheets.
Patient data including the native language,
needed vaccines, provider, VFC eligible,
etc. are received from the EMR or entered
on demand.
The VFC option and Search let you select
from the appropriate vaccine inventory. The
NDC and lot can automatically be sent to
your EMR and PM system.
Required VIS sheets
automatically print in English
and/or the patient’s native
language.
Lot selection is simple.
And, if needed the system can automatically search for available vaccines
in other locations.
When the vaccine search is clicked the applicable
inventory to select from will display.
If VFC is checked then only VFC inventory will
display.
Note: Since the system already knows the lot and
NDC numbers there is no need to write them down
and reenter them into the EMR and billing systems.
“Nice”
Lots are sorted by
expiration date to help
minimize waste.
If it looks like you’re out of a vaccine we’ll help you look in other places.
But, if no inventory displays…
… the system will
automatically prompt you to
look for the needed vaccine
in other locations – or in the
VFC or non-VFC supplies.
If needed those supplies
may be used (and the
system will report these
transfers for reconciliation
at the end of the day).
OIS – Other Information Sheets
Educate patients – Encourage additional care and visits
In addition to VIS sheets, Other Information
Sheets can printed automatically too.
They may be user-defined or industry
standard.
OIS’ help educate the patient and generate
additional visits and care.
Reports…the business ones you need
Simply click to select the needed
detail to account for your VFC
usage.
Used for billing reconciliation.
No more lost charges.
Automatically check
your upcoming
appointments in your
PM scheduling system
and know what you’ll
need.
Quickly list the patients and use
details of any lot.
