Dissatisfaction with this inefficiency has led to the \u201cKill the Clipboard\u201d initiative from the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services to advance digital alternatives. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, patient-controlled vaccination record sharing demonstrated that Quick Response (QR) codes and digital data standards provide an effective option.
