Search > Influenza 'At Risk'
The Influenza 'At Risk' tools consist of a search module (see below) and patient prompt. These tools provide you with methods of identifying candidates for influenza vaccination as per the Australian Immunisation Handbook 10th Edition, Section 4.7 'Influenza'.
The search module is used to find patients that fall into particular risk groups for influenza and exclude those with contraindications or whom have already been appropriately managed. The customisability of the search allows you to alter the output patient list (and prompt) to suit your patient management needs. After conducting a search for such patients, you can print scripts or create a recall notification for them. Note that patients without a recorded date of birth are excluded.
To use the Influenza 'At Risk' search utility:
From the
Clinical Front Screen, select Search
> Influenza
'At Risk'. The Influenza
'At Risk' Search window appears.
Note that if you select 'Immunocompromising Conditions', the search
includes patients who are currently taking oral corticosteroids
that were prescribed 7 days (or more) ago.
Enter
