Supporting better vaccinations with VaxCare

Vaccines can be the foundation of positive patient outcomes, but many clinicians struggle with making their vaccine programs run as smoothly as other parts of the practice. Now, more than ever, this is alarmingly true. For instance, the inventory is expensive, tracking and tracing is time-consuming, and the processes are complicated. Without impeccable management, every step of the process is an avoidable opportunity for leakage (a couple of doses lost here, a billing error there) that can lead to losses of between 8–15% of a practice’s bottom line.

While these issues can tempt many practices to walk away from running a vaccine program, vaccines are a proven and powerful tool for preventive care. According to CDC estimates, among children born in the last 20 years, vaccinations will prevent more than 21 million hospitalizations and 732,000 deaths, and save nearly $295 billion in direct costs and $1.38 trillion in total societal costs.

Now, more than ever, physicians need to manage their vaccine programs efficiently and effectively. Not only do they need to be prepared to support the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, but they also must help patients as they scramble to catch up on other scheduled vaccinations they might have missed during the pandemic. As documented by Scientific American, during the month and a half after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic, states’ immunization rates plummeted; in some states, the rates were 60% lower than the same month in 2019. Given this, doctors around the country started to fear that the lack of immunizations could spark new epidemics of vaccine-preventable diseases. With both of those factors at play—the effectiveness of vaccines and the hit vaccinations have taken amid the pandemic—vaccine programs have reached an unprecedented level of necessity.

To help clients ensure their patients can receive the proper vaccinations in a timely manner, Allscripts partners with VaxCare. An automation platform for vaccine management, VaxCare brings efficiency and ease to eliminate the complexities of a manual workflow and reduce the overall cost of vaccines—while providing visibility into every step of the process.
