Adding Immunisation Data into Vision 3 using Smart Clinic

To add influenza batch details:

  1. Open Smart Clinic .
  2. Select Influenza – Seasonal:

  3. Select Stock and Add Stock.
  4. Use Lookup to find and select the vaccine administered from the drug list available, for example, QIVc, QIVe or TIV:

  5. Enter the Batch number and Expiry date.
  6. For Batch stock enter the amount of vaccines you have been delivered for use in practice. If you are not using Smart Clinic for stock control enter 9999.
  7. Select Update to save the batch card.

Repeat this process for each separate batch number.

Bulk Entering the Immunisation

To bulk enter immunisations:

  1. Open Smart Clinic .
  2. Select Open - Patient Groups:

  3. From the Group Description section, choose Select:

  4. Locate the patient group you wish to use for bulk data entry and choose Select. All patients in the group are displayed.
  5. Select Automated bulk data entry:

  6. Select Influenza – Seasonal to list all the batches available.
  7. Select the required batch number for the patient group.
  8. Change the immunisation details as required, for example, site details or consent given.
    9. Note - You can add any vaccine name details to the free text comments.
  9. Once you are happy with all the details on the immunisation form, select Start:

The system starts saving the immunisation data to each patient record in Vision 3. This process may be paused and restarted, or stopped completely if required.

A green tick displays next to the patient's name once their record is updated.

Important – Bulk data entry cannot be undone once the data is saved to a patient record, it must be removed or edited manually.
Important – This process only adds data, it does not edit existing data or delete any data within a patient record.

Please Note:

  • Once the process starts, the immunisation details cannot be changed unless you stop the process
  • If you use Pause, when you restart, the process continues from where it left off
  • Stop clears and resets the whole process, so when you restart, it begins at the first patient in the list
