Pneumococcal Immunization Search
In partnership with the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO), we have developed EMR searches to identify adult patients who are eligible but have not yet had their pneumococcal immunizations.
These searches incorporate recommendations from the NACI 2023 guidelines, and will identify 3 groups of patients according to the following criteria:
- Patients who are 65 years and older
- Patients who are 50 to 64 with a specified medical condition or risk factor
- Patients who are 18 years and older who are immunocompromised
There is a corresponding search and reminder for each of these groups of patients.
Installation steps for Accuro QHR:
