New functionality added to outpatient whiteboard for flu vaccines

The beginning of flu season brings with it a number of changes within the outpatient whiteboard (OPWB) that allow users to perform a number of key vaccine-related functions. 

These updates allow users to use the OPWB to:

• Record an immunization received outside Vanderbilt
• Order and administer a flu vaccine
• Postpone the vaccine for reasons such as patient refusal
• Permanently exclude the patient from flu vaccine plans (e.g., patient has a documented clinical contraindication)
