Abstract

A computerized method and system for generation an immunization schedule for a person in healthcare environment is provided. The system receives a request for an immunization schedule for a person and obtains information from an electronic medical record of the person stored within a comprehensive healthcare system. The system obtains one or more immunization schedules and utilizes the information from the electronic medical record of the person and the immunization schedule to generate a customized immunization schedule for the person. In another embodiment, the system receives immunization information for a person and stores the immunization information in the electronic medical record of the person within a comprehensive healthcare system.

Claims

1. A method in a computer system for preventing an inappropriate live virus combination from being administered to a person, the method comprising:

receiving two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to a person;

determining whether the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination; and

if so, outputting information that the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining information regarding inappropriate virus combination from a database.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

comparing the two or more immunizations to the information regarding inappropriate virus combinations to determine whether the two or more viruses constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.

4. A system in a computerized environment for preventing an inappropriate live virus combination from being administered to a person, the system comprising:

a receiving module for receiving two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to a person;

a determining module for determining whether the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination; and

an outputting module for outputting information that the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising:

obtaining information regarding inappropriate virus combination from a database.

6. The system of claim 5, further comprising:

a comparing module for comparing the two or more immunizations to the information regarding inappropriate virus combinations to determine whether the two or more viruses constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.

7. A system in a computerized environment for preventing an inappropriate live virus combination from being administered to a person, the system comprising:

means for receiving two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to a person;

means for determining whether the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination; and

means for outputting information that the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.

8. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving two or more live virus immunizations to be administered to a person;

determining whether the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination; and

if so, outputting information that the two or more live virus immunizations constitute an inappropriate live virus combination.
