Researchers examined data collected from four community clinics in New York. Each of the clinics had integrated the flu vaccination alert — FluAlert — into their EHRs.
Researchers found that of the 1,949 alerts generated, 1,048 were alerts that indicated that a child needed the flu vaccine. Of those 1,048 instances, physicians acted on the alert 63 percent of the time, of which 29 percent of time, they ordered the vaccine. Thirty-four percent of them declined the alert.
