Creating a Sustainable Vaccine Delivery Practice.

Providing vaccines places a significant logistical and financial burden on an office but is important in providing care to patients. Start the process by finding a vaccine champion, choosing a primary and backup vaccine coordinator, and creating a team in the office to promote and administer vaccines. Follow best practices when storing and monitoring vaccines. Create office policies for ordering vaccines in a fiscally sound manner, accepting deliveries, and managing inventory. Have backup processes in place to avoid preventable errors when administering vaccines. In addition, bill vaccine administration codes appropriately to collect the full reimbursement that is due.
