A
system is provided for collecting and storing immunization and
disease data. Immunization mobile stations (IMSs) are provided with a
software application to facilitate the collection of
patient information such as biographical data, previous
vaccination data,
medical history, medications in use, occupation, administration of recent
vaccination,
disease symptoms and the like. IMSs synchronize the
patient information with information stored in a
database maintained at a
data center that is accessible to different groups of personnel based on different privileges defined at the
data center and security measures. Patients can access electronic patient records created by the IMSs, and stored at the IMSs and / or a local
server and eventually at the
data center, via telephone or computer (e.g., via
web browser). IMSs can capture and store images of
vaccination and
disease symptom sites on patients. The
database allows for vaccination and disease tracking and
disease control. The IMSs can be provided with a vaccination recommendation engine to determine if a patient is eligible for a vaccination and electronic patient consent forms, and are programmable to track adverse events and create follow-up reports after a vaccine is administered.
