Development of an immunization tracking system in a large health maintenance organization. Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound.
We have successfully developed a mainframe system for tracking all immunizations administered to enrollees in a large HMO. This system will provide comprehensive immunization records on a population of over 350-000 patients. Data required by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 are locally entered into terminals- and records of immunization are stored in a database. Preliminary results show that data entry times are practical- but that improvement in data quality is needed. This immunization tracking system will be used for research- and as the foundation of an immunization reminder system under development.
