Current state<\/p>\n
Immunization is a cost-effective and beneficial disease prevention measures. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004, immunization has succeeded in eradicating diseases such as smallpox, measles, poliomyelitis, and rubella worldwide. A computerized system for maintaining records of immunization is needed. The system should truck the immunization dates, printed school and parent reports. It is essential in guiding and timing the appropriate time for administration of vaccines. Health care providers for the past two years have scattered the medical record papers. Parents therefore find themselves find themselves looking for their immunization records. <\/p>\n
Desired State<\/p>\n
We have adopted Vermont Immunization Registry (IMR) at Family Medical Center, which is a powerful tool to ensure proper treatment and timely immunization. This has helped in saving many by ensuring the right vaccine is administered to the children (Edwards, 2006). The efficiency of the offices is also improved since the required time to gather review records of immunization is reduced. When there is disease outbreak, it is very easy for public health departments to identify those individual at risk by the use of registry. <\/p>\n
Gap Analysis<\/p>\n
\u00a0Although the applied registry is efficient, it is not fully implemented in our Family Medical Centre in Paris. <\/p>\n
Proposed Problem Statement<\/p>\n
Learning how to operate our registry is very important. This is become its computerized application is to some extent complicated and therefore need qualified personnel to be able to fill in the data. <\/p>\n
Why the Problem is Important<\/p>\n
Our healthcare facility is accredited with vaccines for children. Data input should be correctly done to be able to guide on the appropriate type of vaccine administered and the relevant time to do vaccination. If this is not achieved the will be loss of program and services will not be offered to the public. <\/p>\n
Solution Criteria <\/p>\n
Assessment if our registry by the government is to a great extent essential.<\/p>\n
Proposed Task Statement<\/p>\n
The problem can be solved by installing a computer guide on how to correctly input the data. Allocation of resources by the management also needs to be revised.<\/p>\n
