> Our new compliance officer will not allow Employee Health to access EPIC
> employee records to look up vaccinations, even with a signed medical
> release.   We have almost 20 primary care clinics and many of our employees
> get their flu shot during their visit.
>
> The employees comes  to EHS clinic ask up to look up their flu shot in
> EPIC so they can get a flu sticker.   They sign a medical release and we
> look up and print the flu shot records and enter in our Occupational Health
> database.
>
> We are an Occupational Health clinic and acute care clinic with nurse
> practitioners and a medical director.   She is okay with accessing the EPIC
> records for exposure info on patients/employees, ED visits related to acute
> care or workers comp/leaves, if we have a signed release.
>
> Does anyone else access their hospital EMR to view flu shots or other
> immunizations   after getting a signed medical release?   Thank you very
> much.   JoAnn
