As a world-renowned leader in health care, we know vaccination the single best means to protect our patients, our employees and health care providers &#8211; as well as our community and families.<\/p>\n<p>Many U.S. hospitals mandate influenza vaccination and require it as a condition for employment. In years past, the vast majority of our workforce has chosen to be vaccinated because it is the right thing to do for everyone. &nbsp;We expect that to continue this year as well.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/newintranet.nebraskamed.com\/Vaccine\/\">online influenza vaccine verification<\/a> allows colleagues to indicate their choice of vaccination:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>receipt of vaccine<\/li>\n<li>reason for vaccine declination<\/li>\n<li>vaccination received elsewhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is expected that 100 percent of health care providers, students and employees will document their vaccination status in the campus verification system.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is that 90 percent or more of our employees and health care providers will receive the influenza vaccine. The Joint Commission has implemented an initiative to increase influenza vaccination in health care institutions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) requires facilities to submit influenza vaccination rates annually. In order to comply with these programs, we must collect and report the data that will be captured in the campus-wide verification system.<\/p>\n<p>Find the <a href=\"http:\/\/newintranet.nebraskamed.com\/Vaccine\/Information\/Dates.aspx\">flu vaccination clinic<\/a> that works for you. From Oct. 3 through Dec. 8, a total of 21 flu vaccination clinics will have been held on our campus. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#039;t think you need the vaccination, <a

for patients.&nbsp; All inpatient nursing staff are reminded to screen and vaccinate inpatients for influenza before discharge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free
