IMMUNIZATION REGISTRY INTEGRATION SYSTEM
Techniques are described for vaccine notification and scheduling in automated electronic delivery format. A system for immunization registry integration that supports vaccine notification and scheduling in automated electronic delivery format is provided. One method includes providing access to a scheduling application to schedule a patient appointment. The method may include receiving authorization to query an immunization registry based at least on the provided access. The method may also include determining one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the received authorization. Additionally, the method may communicating the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the determining.
1 . A method for immunization registry integration by a first computing device, comprising:
providing, to a user device, access to a scheduling application to schedule a patient appointment of a first type;
receiving, from the user device, authorization to query an immunization registry based at least on the provided access;
determining one or more immunization opportunities of a type different from the first type based at least in part on the received authorization and a file transfer protocol or programming interface associated with a second computing device different from the first computing device; and
communicating, to the user device, the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the determining.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, over a network, a request to schedule the patient appointment, and
wherein the providing access to the scheduling application is responsive to the request.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
obtaining one or more data elements based at least in part on the request to schedule the patient appointment; and
querying the immunization registry based at least in part on the one or more data elements, and
wherein the determining one or more immunization opportunities is based at least in part on the querying.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data elements comprise an identifier corresponding to at least one of name, date of birth, or gender.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data elements comprise a geographical location identifier.
6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data elements comprise a plurality of phone numbers.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of phone numbers comprises a first phone number entered for scheduling the patient appointment and a second phone number determined from a source different from the scheduling application.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more immunization opportunities comprises an immunization opportunity unrelated to the patient appointment.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more immunization opportunities comprises an immunization opportunity corresponding to the patient appointment.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a user prompt to select the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities.
11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing access to a new appointment instance of the scheduling application to schedule the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities comprises a real-time user prompt to add the one or more immunization opportunities to the patient appointment being scheduled.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities comprises an electronic communication subsequent to the patient appointment being scheduled.
14 . A method for immunization registry integration by a first computing device, comprising:
providing, to a user device, access to healthcare services information;
identifying information of a first type from a medical-related digital document based at least in part on provided access;
receiving, from the user device, authorization to query an immunization registry based at least on the medical-related digital document;
determining one or more immunization opportunities of a type different from the first type based at least in part on the received authorization and a file transfer protocol or programming interface associated with a second computing device different from the first computing device; and
communicating, to the user device, the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the determining.
15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving, over a network, a request to provide the medical-related digital document.
16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving, over a network, the medical-related digital document.
17 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
obtaining one or more data elements based at least in part on the information from the medical-related digital document; and
querying the immunization registry based at least in part on the one or more data elements, and
wherein the determining one or more immunization opportunities is based at least in part on the querying.
18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
providing a user prompt to select the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities.
19 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
providing access to a scheduling application to schedule the one or more immunization opportunities based at least in part on the communicating the one or more immunization opportunities.
20 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the medical-related digital document comprises a response to at least one health-related question.
