With the leadership of Director Diane Norris, RN, BSN, and Medical Director Brian M. DeLoach, M.D., Georgia Southern University Student Health Services utilizes Medicat’s Immunization Compliance Management system to monitor and manage communicable diseases.
Georgia Southern implemented the Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services (GRITS) in 2015. This immunization registry interface allows GSU staff to obtain student immunization records from outside providers, as well as submit information on immunizations given at the Health Center to the registry seamlessly.
Combining the features of Patient Portal, Self Check-In, and text message reminders, GSU SHS has also gained efficiencies throughout their facility by customizing their appointment scheduling, which has resulted in a significant decrease in “no-shows.”
