Summary
Shannon Becker, Vice President at Sentara Health, emphasized the significance of small enhancements in healthcare processes in his LinkedIn post "Little Build, BIG Wins." He highlighted an initiative addressing the challenge of inaccurate immunization records for newborns in Virginia, particularly regarding the Hepatitis B vaccine. Sentara Health developed a system that temporarily holds vaccine records for 30 days to allow for the entry of the baby’s legal name before submitting data to the Virginia Department of Health. Since its implementation in May 2024, this approach has enabled the accurate reporting of over 4,600 vaccinations, improving immunization tracking and reducing manual reconciliation efforts.
