We do not access any employee records for vaccinations, exposures or worker’s comp. We look at the Source patient only, no other records can be accessed per our compliance officer.

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
