Mandatory flu vaccinations are a point of contention among many, polarizing opinion in the healthcare industry. While it is hotly debated, it is required for many healthcare workers, who routinely receive their flu vaccine in mass vaccination events, making it important for leaders in the healthcare industry to be prepared for these events.
Axion Health is helping healthcare professionals prepare themselves. CEO of Axion Health, Dr. Lee Newman, has teamed up with research analyst, Jennifer Guida, MPH to provide a clinical no-cost webinar. The webinar, hosted through GoToMeeting.com, “What’s New with Flu Vaccines” will offer the latest information on vaccines, current contraindications, and delivery methods. Dr. Newman will be taking his expertise to Sin City to moderate a panel on mandatory flu vaccination programs at the Association of Occupational Health Professionals’ national conference, which will be held October 3-6 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Axion will be doing more than just educate others and discuss the flu vaccine; they will also be facilitating the implementation of a flu vaccine program. They have developed ReadySet, a completely paperless online flu immunization program that is web-based and mobile. This seamless, simple solution allows administrators to scan recipients’ badges and administer the vaccine, automatically recording the data. Axion cites several benefits to this program, including: increased accuracy through real-time reporting, reduced data entry time and increased voluntary compliance. Users of ReadySet are enthusiastic about the program, citing less than one minute per person for vaccination, two hours saved per administrator, 98-100 percent compliance, and paper reduction ranging from 80 percent to 99 percent.
For anyone who is implementing a large vaccination event, Axion’s solutions and information are a great benefit. Whether or not you agree with mandatory vaccination, ReadySet is a powerful tool that can be used for everything from immunization to vision testing to drug testing to infectious disease exposures, making it an exciting addition to any healthcare workplace.
