EMIS Flu Resources
We're really pleased to release our toolset for the 2024/25 flu season. The resources we provide are described below, all the Handy Protocols (HPs) are optional and will need to be requested. Each performs a specific function throughout the flu season.
016 Seasonal Influenza searches
For finding cohorts for invites, tracking declines and uptakes, and fixing coding issues. See our guide here:
HP247 Eligible for flu vaccination
Staff can add this protocol to their personal F12 pick list for use whenever the have a discussion with a patient about booking a seasonal influenza vaccination. The protocol will flow through eligibility and advise what action should be taken. See our support article here:
HP248 Flu vaccination clinic
Primary Care IT has produced a single flu administration protocol for the 2024/24 seasonal influenza season (HP248). Our protocol has been built as a one-stop resource to manage flu administration for all age groups, which is to be launched from F12.
HP249 65ED correction
65ED (Seasonal influenza vaccination) was the code used for a number of years to document vaccinations done in Practice. This has been superseded but some users still select it if they are not using an up-to-date template or protocol. The code should not be used if Practices want to be paid for all activity. The protocol only works on patients who have not already got a valid flu vaccination code on their record this season (from 1st September until 31st March). For full details see our support article:
These protocols contain concept rules which are specific to the 2024/25 influenza vaccination season. Do not attempt to utilise these in subsequent years - updated versions will be made available for overwriting the previous protocols.
