YES!!! We need this for vaccine inventory.
Like each vaccine lot # is put into a program/AC database and when we enter vaccines in AC we can select the lot # and that info gets entered into the vaccine screen - the lot #, CPT code, expiration date, VIS date, vaccine route. And every time the vaccine is used, the inventory changes so weekly/daily we can count what's left in the fridge and it should match the inventory. Keeping accurate inventory is required for VFC providers.
Right now in AC we have type in each of these manually - obviously it takes too long for us pediatric clinics that give so many vaccines a day. Plus, like Sabbath said, ripe for errors when you have to type in a bunch of numbers and dates. And there's no built-in inventory mechanism.
Actually I use Bert's VIPER program do this right now. (It connects to the AC database.) But there is no support for VIPER, it's many years old. I can't get it installed on a new computer. I'm just keeping the old Windows 10 computers with VIPER around just to use the program.
