In
the United States as of 1996, 223,000 Primary Care
Physicians, including 81,400 General/Family Practice
Physicians, 46,600 Pediatricians, and 95,000 General Internal
Medicine Physicians and numerous additional health service
organizations are administering vaccinations to the 285
million Americans. These Medical Practitioners, by law,
must notify the state of each child's vaccination record so
that the states' immunization registries can be updated. The
notification process is currently done mostly manually or not
at all.
The national Vaccination Advisory Counsel
(NVAC) estimates there is only a 60% minimum compliance rate
in the U.S. regarding the completion of basic vaccine
schedule and 20% of vaccinations are given improperly. By
automating this process, Cyber Immune’s solutions help
Physicians comply with the law, increase children's
immunization schedule compliance rates, reduces the percentage
of improperly administered vaccinations, help quell parents'
concerns, and offers better communications and medical
services, enriches the relationship a Physician has with each
patient.
