Allow Imports to Decrement Organization (IRMS) Inventory

Select this option to allow imported data to decrement the inventory. Organization-associated lots must be able to be decremented by immunizations given at facilities for RPMS sites using the HL7 Realtime data upload.

If inventory is imported in HL7 or DTT with this decrement option selected, the logic first looks at the Facility for available inventory. If no inventory exists, the inventory is decremented at the Organization (IRMS) level instead, if the available inventory does not exceed the negative doses allowed amount.

If no inventory exists for either the Facility or the Organization, the import line errors with the existing message that the inventory cannot be decremented.

If the Facility does not have the Allow Decrement Inventory at Organization (IRMS) option selected/enabled, the existing functionality is applied. (The Facility must have inventory, or the line will error).

If this option is enabled and the Allow Vaccine Transfers option (previous field) is selected, this becomes a required field.

Click this link to open the Select Receiving Transfer Facilities window. On the window that opens, select one or more Organizations/Facilities that can receive vaccine transfers and click the double-chevron (>>) button to transfer them to the Selected box. Click Done when all of the Facilities have been selected.

Once Done is clicked, a validation is performed. If the Allow Vaccine Transfers is selected but no Organizations/Facilities were selected, an error message appears at the top of the screen stating Please select the receiving transfer facilities. If a new Facility is being added, the selected Receiving Transfer Facilities are saved to the database only when the Facility has been created and saved.

Once saved, only the selected Organizations/Facilities are populated on the Create Transfer screen in the Receiving Organization (IRMS) and Receiving Facility drop-down lists.

Allow Vaccine Orders

Select this option if the Facility is able to allow vaccine orders. The user must have state or local order approver permission in order to see this option.

Order Frequency

Select the provider's ordering frequency from the drop-down list. Choices are:

• --Select-- (will not validate)
• Annual (calendar year)
• Every six months (month will vary as assigned)
• Every three months (month will vary as assigned)
• Every two months (month will vary as assigned)
• Monthly (1st day of the month to the last day of the month)
• Twice monthly (1st to the 15th and 16th to the last day of the month)

If the Organization/Facility does not have an ordering frequency set, the ordering frequency is derived from the registry setting. If there is an IRMS/Facility setting, it will override the registry setting.

If the provider orders more frequently than their ordering frequency, a dialog box appears when the user clicks Submit, stating Your order is outside the assigned order frequency. Your LHJ will have to approve this exception. Select an exception comment from the drop-down menu and click "Submit" to place this order.

Order Timing

Select the timing to provide the ability to record ordering timing on both the Organization (IRMS) and Facility add/update screens. This is not a registry-wide setting. Choices are:

• --Select-- (will not validate)
• 1st to the 15th
• 16th to End of Month

If the provider orders outside their order timing window, a dialog box appears when the user clicks Submit, stating Your order is outside the assigned order timing. Your LHJ will have to approve this exception. Select an exception comment from the drop-down menu and click "Submit" to place this order. The exception comment and exception reason are visible to both local and state approvers and are saved as part of the order history. The submitted order is queued for Manual Review with the exception reason of Outside assigned order timing.

Order Frequency Start Month

Select a month for the start of the order frequency timing. Appears on both the Organization (IRMS) and Facility add/update screens. This is not a registry-wide property setting. Choices are January, February, March, April, May, or June. This field uses the Ordering Frequency field to determine a valid schedule. No order schedule displays for twice monthly, monthly, or annual frequencies.

• Every Two Months - Start Month = January, Schedule = Jan., Mar., May, July, Sep., Nov. / Start Month = February, Schedule = Feb., Apr., June, Aug., Oct., Dec.
• Every Three Months - Start Month = January, Schedule = Jan., Apr., July, Oct. / Start Month = February, Schedule = Feb., May, Aug., Nov. / Start Month = March, Schedule = Mar., June, Sept., Dec.
• Every Six Months - Start Month = Jan., Schedule = Jan., July. / Start Month = February, Schedule = Feb., Aug. / Start Month = March, Schedule = Mar., Sept. / Start Month = April, Schedule = Apr., Oct. / Start Month = May, Schedule = May, Nov. / Start Month = June, Schedule = June, Dec.

If the Organization (IRMS)/Facility does not have an order start date set, the order schedule is not validated.

If the provider orders outside their order schedule, a dialog box appears when the user clicks Submit, stating Your order is outside the assigned order schedule. Your LHJ will have to approve this exception. Select an exception comment from the drop-down menu and click "Submit" to place this order. The exception comment is required for submitted orders only. The exception comment and exception reason are visible to both local and state approvers and are saved as part of the order history. The submitted order is queued for Manual Review with the exception reason of Outside assigned order schedule.

Order Threshold Percent

Enter a numeric value to represent the percentage of orders to reach before placing an order for the Organization/Facility. There is also a registry-wide setting in the Administration properties that is used if a setting is not entered here (see Administration Settings). However, this setting overrides the registry-wide setting.

Recommended Quantity Calculation

Select the recommended calculation to use for the recommended quantity (Based on Administered Doses, Based on Order History). This determines how the default quantity is calculated. (The Recommended Quantity default can also be turned off under Administration > Properties > Vaccine Management, which is recommended when there is no data yet.)

If Based on Administered Doses is selected, the Recommended Quantity is rounded off to a whole number divisible by the vaccine Package Size for publicly supplied vaccines.

If Based on Order History is selected and an order is created with an Order Quantity that is more or less than the Order Threshold Percent and Recommended Quantity, an alert displays and the order is queued for Manual Review. Additionally, when using order history, the safety stock is already factored in and does not need to be added separately.

Enable Auto-Receive

Select this option to allow an uploaded McKesson file to populate lot numbers on open orders. If part of an order is missing from the McKesson file, the new order is created upon receipt.

Order Set/Order Type

Select the order set and order type that define the vaccines that the Facility can order from the drop-down list. The user must have state or local order approver permission in order to see this option.

Bypass Dose-Level Accountability

Select this option to activate the business logic that allows providers that do not track their inventory to the patient dose level, to enter the appropriate reconciliation data to record their current physical inventory.

If this option is selected/enabled, the Reconciliation page automatically populates the reason with Matches Physical Inventory. When the physical inventory value is entered and the user tabs out of the field, the reason automatically defaults to the correct add/subtract Matches Physical Inventory reason and all other reasons are removed from the drop-down list.

For example, if a site does not manage inventory in the Registry and does not decrement from inventory by either the electronic import decrementing logic or by selecting the lot during direct data entry, the system does not know the doses used value for the site. In this case, the provider needs to do their own refrigerator count and enter that number, rather than record each inventory adjustment individually. This is needed to simplify data entry and increase participation among sites that are not significant Registry users.

In the Inventory Transaction report, Matches Physical Inventory Plus displays under the Other In transaction type and Matches Physical Inventory Minus displays under the Other Out transaction type. This reason does not display on the Lot Number Maintenance screen or on the regular Reconciliation page.

Upload Temperature Data
