Use of an Electronic Medical Record to Improve Standard Practice in the Primary Care Setting: A Randomized-Controlled Study of Herpes Zoster Vaccination Rates
Despite the significant benefits of herpes zoster vaccine (HZV), vaccination rates remain
low. Electronic medical records (EMR) can serve as a practical strategy to better facilitate
the application of preventative health care, such as increasing immunization rates. A new
care model that can increase the herpes zoster vaccination rate, as well as other
preventative health services, is warranted. The objective of this study is to investigate if
the functions of an EMR, in combination with a pharmacist as part of the care team, can
improve the herpes zoster vaccination rate.
