How will NYSIIS affect my office staffs busy workload?
• Depending on a provider’s current office system, there may need to be an increase in staff efforts devoted to data entry of existing patient information into NYSIIS. However, once the initial investment of staff time to enter immunization histories is completed, NYSIIS will actually reduce the staff time required to: • Search for or replace medical records; • Provide immunization records for school, camp, or other activities; • Calculate which vaccines are due; • Give unnecessary immunizations when earlier immunization records are missing; • Request immunization records from other providers; and • Track vaccine inventory.
