Which steps describe placing a vaccine order in the system?

• A. Administer without form or plan.
• B. Look up the patient in Storenet, go to Patient Care, fill IST, determine dose, print form, have patient sign, run the prescription using the appropriate plan ID (examples BCBSILMM, AARP, ImmunPBI).
• C. Print form only; no signing or plan.
• D. Use any random plan ID.

Answer: (B)

Placing a vaccine order correctly follows a patient-focused workflow: first locate the patient in the system (Storenet) and open the vaccination process in the Patient Care area, then complete the Immunization Screening Tool to assess eligibility and determine the appropriate dose. After confirming the dose, print the form for the patient to sign, documenting consent and the plan for immunization. Finally, run the prescription using the correct payer plan ID so the vaccine is billed to the right payer (examples include BCBSILMM, AARP, ImmunPBI). This sequence ensures the patient’s needs and safety are evaluated, consent is documented, and billing is accurate. Skipping consent or signatures, administering without proper documentation, or using a random plan ID would break the proper workflow and risk safety or billing issues.
