BackgroundVaccine uptake data is automatically extracted from all GP practices in England via the web-based reporting system, ImmForm, on behalf of Public Health England. In 2016/17, an Uptake Summary Tool was introduced on ImmForm for practice managers, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and screening and immunisation teams (SCRIMMS) to help facilitate local and regional management of the influenza programme. The tool allows practices to view and evaluate influenza uptake rates by target cohorts, comparing them against the previous season and CCG average/overall national uptake each week.AimTo assess how many practices use the Uptake Summary Tool and whether there is a difference in vaccine uptake among practices that use the tool compared with those that don’t during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 influenza seasons.MethodPractice level use of the Uptake Summary Tool was examined for the 2016/17 influenza season and vaccine uptake compared between practices that used the tool and those that did not.ResultsAn average of 1272 practices used the tool each week during the 2016/17. Vaccine uptake was on average 2.9% greater for targeted cohorts in practices that used the tool than practices that did not during the 2016/17 season.ConclusionWhen used on a regular basis the Uptake Summary Tool can help GP practices, CCGs and SCRIMMS monitor vaccine and may be associated with increased vaccine uptake. Uptake for the 2017/18 season will be monitored and assessed throughout the current season. We aim to expand the tool to other vaccine collections in the near future.

A web-based reporting tool was developed to support the collection of critical incidents during remote usability evaluations. The tool facilitated structured critical incident data entry by the user and the ability to transfer this data directly to the experimenter in the form of an email. The reporting tool was evaluated by assessing a voice email system comprised of a voice interface for emailing and a web interface for system configuration. The evaluation compared the frequency and severity of critical incidents obtained from remote participants with users located in a controlled laboratory setting. Changes in critical incident reporting resulting from repeated exposure to the system were evaluated. The results of the evaluation demonstrated that the web-based reporting tool was an effective critical incident data collection technique for remote usability evaluation.

53 Background: At ASCO 2007, we presented 2 year experience with a web-based Medication Occurrence (MO) reporting tool. We now report the 11 year experience in a single outpatient oncology practice. Methods: Since December 2003, Texas Oncology (TxO) sites have entered information on Medication Occurrence (MO) reports in an electronic Variance Reporting tool. The pharmacy management team generates reports monthly for the Texas Oncology Quality Oversight Committee and each site Quality Committee for analysis and follow-up action. The data are analyzed according to a pre-set group of parameters (retail vs. clinic, near miss vs. actual occurrence, severity level 1-8, categories of occurrence). Recently these data were analyzed for the years 2004-2014 to assess trends in MOs. Results: Over 11 years there were 2,163,249 transactions for a chemotherapy infusion or injection. There were 10845 MOs of which 5,143 were adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Near misses accounted for 16.7% of unadjusted MO rate and 31.8% when ADRs were excluded. MO rate with ADR was 0.46%, without ADR 0.24%. Retail MO rate was 0.02% on 1,771,148 transactions. Rituximab was 20.9% and paclitaxel 16.4% of ADRs. Tying reporting to clinic performance increased reporting by site and number of sites. EHR related MOs and Near Misses were each reported as MOs and artificially inflate numbers due to double counting. There were 10 deaths over 11 years. With these data, we were able to 1) Promote an epinephrine protocol for severe drug reactions, 2) Obviate the need for AEDs at every site, 3) Find no difference in rituximab reactions by geographic region, 4) Make assessments regarding cost and toxicity of iron compounds, 5) Target specific drugs for ADR risk. 6) Assess prophylactic corticosteroid regimens in taxane administration. Conclusions: Web-based reporting in the outpatient community setting is feasible and identified many topics for quality improvement initiatives. The importance of double-checking and a culture of safety is reinforced by the number of avoided MOs indicated by the near miss percentage.

A financial management system is essential for any organization to manage its cash flow and keep track of its spending and earnings. Currently, our faculty-student organization, Persatuan Teknologi Maklumat (PERTEKMA), still uses multiple Excel spreadsheets to log in financial records and depend on physical ledgers printed from the Excel sheet to keep track of its accounts. This project aims to develop a web-based system that keeps track of the PERTEKMA association's revenue and spending and prevents inconsistencies between different ledgers such as activity and kiosk ledgers maintained by various executive committees (Exco) members of PERTEKMA. The system's targeted users are PERTEKMA Exco members and the lecturers responsible for supervising PERTEKMA. The methodology used to develop the proposed project is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. An interview was carried out with two treasurers in PERTEKMA to obtain the requirements, and their suggestions were used to develop and design the proposed system. In addition, an interview session was carried out with two PERTEKMA advisors to collect the system requirements to design the system. The system developed aims to replace the current approach to managing financial records through a centralized online platform.
