New Flu Shot Selections in Service Plan

• Several states are now requiring that a flu shot be offered to all residents.
• Many communities offer this to their residents proactively as well.
• We’re happy to announce that AL Advantage will now offer two new options in the drop-down menu within the Service Plan module.
  • “Flu Shot Offered”
  • “Flu Shot Taken”
• The new selections can be accessed using the following steps:

 Step 1 – Select the appropriate resident name from the “FIND A RESIDENT” drop-down menu, then Click on the “RESIDENTS” Button at the top left of the screen

Step 2 – Click on the “SERVICE PLAN” Tab

Step 3 – Click on the “ADD TO PLAN” Button – A new row, displaying today’s date, will be added to the screen.

Step 4 – Click on the “EDIT INFO” Button on the right side of the new row

Step 5 – In the “NEED/PROBLEM” Field, either select one of the “Flu” selections from the drop-down menu OR begin typing the word “Flu” and the selections will be displayed.

Step 6 – Click on the appropriate selection for your situation. Either:

1. “Flu Shot Offered” or
2. “Flu Shot Taken”

Step 7 – Complete the remaining fields, as needed

Step 8 – If appropriate, click the “ADD INTERVENTION” Button to enter information for “GOALS” and “INTERVENTIONS”.

Step 9 – IMPORTANT – Click on the “SAVE” Button to complete the entry and store the information in the resident’s record.
