Abstract

This application is an Intranet-based system. A database has been established utilizing patient information on the basis of age, medical diagnosis and employment history. If a health care provider or support staff states that a patient is over 65 years of age or has been diagnosed with a chronic disease and this limits the patient's ability to fight off infection, the need for preventive care is activated. In this situation the preventive care is the administration of an annual flu shot. For anyone over 65 years of age or with a chronic illness, a bulk mail of reminder cards with the dates of availability of injection is generated and mailed. All health care workers are notified at work of vaccination sites that they can use. In addition, should a patient have an appointment with a provider and a preventive flu injection is indicated, a reminder appears on the registration form. This reminder indicates a flu shot is needed as well as other preventive intervention.
