Define High Risk Categories

This option is used to track patients with one or more high-risk medical conditions. This makes it easier to identify patients that may have special immunization needs due to a high-risk medical category. These conditions are considered private data and cannot be seen outside of the Organization (IRMS), but a flag indicating that the patient has 1+ high-risk categories is displayed as public information.

If no categories are defined, this functionality is invisible to the user entering Patient Demographics information.

If no search results are found, an Add button appears. Click Add to add the association. Edit the information if necessary and click Save when finished. The association then appears in the search results list.

Click Cancel on the Define Associations [Search/Add] page to return to the Administration Main Menu page.

Define ID Mapping

If the Facility ID field on the Facility Maintenance Detail page does not match the Facility ID on the Patient/Vaccination DTT file, the Data ID Mapping option should be used to create the association. Additionally, if the Physician/Vaccinator ID field on the Physician/Vaccinator Detail page does not match the same ID in the Patient/Vaccination DTT file, this option should be used to create the association.

Note icon  Data ID Mapping only applies to DTT. HL7 uses Code Value Mapping on the HL7 Settings page.

The Data ID Mapping option is used to add and update the Facility and/or Physician IDs for a specific Organization (IRMS). This is useful when the Organization (IRMS) is on a different billing system than the Facility or Physician and keeps them separate to prevent the IDs from colliding. Note that the ability to map Facility and Physician IDs is determined by a key/value of enableFacPhysIdMapping which is, by default, NULL. For states that use this option, the key/value is set to Y.

Multiple vendor Facility/Physician IDs can be mapped to a single SIIS Facility/Physician ID. Note that once this mapping has occurred, the only way to determine which ID was actually passed in is to review the import file used to import (which is currently not available in IRIS).

To define data ID mapping, click the Administration > Define Values > Data ID Mapping link. The Data ID Mapping page opens. Select the Organization (IRMS) from the list and click Update.

To inactivate the data ID mapping, select the Inactive option located underneath the Organization (IRMS) name at the top of the page.

To create Facility mappings, use the fields in the Facility Mappings section of the page. Enter the Vendor System Facility ID and select the SIIS Facility ID Name from the drop-down list. Enter as many as necessary.

To create Physician/Vaccinator mappings, use the fields in the Physician/Vaccinator Mappings section of the page. Enter the Vendor System Physician/Vaccinator ID and select the SIIS Physician/Vaccinator ID Name from the drop-down list. Enter as many as necessary.

When finished making changes, click Save.

To delete a mapping, select it and then click Delete Selected.

Define Coverage Rate Report Series

This option allows administrators to define Coverage Rate Report series for use in the application. Additional columns have been added for recording the number of shots in a vaccine series. Providers can define the Coverage Rate Report series to generate the information required by the EQIPP reporting tool.

Note icon For Louisiana Users: Louisiana users can define a coverage rate report series called Adolescent Coverage Rate through Administration > Define Values > Define Coverage Rate Report Series. After defining the coverage rate report series and naming it Adolescent Coverage Rate, users can select an organization/facility, then run the report by clicking the Reports menu header and then the Adolescent Coverage Rate link located there. A message appears on the report to alert users that the report parameters were predetermined.

To define the Coverage Rate Report series, click the Administration > Define Values > Define Coverage Rate Report Series link. The Define Coverage Rate Report Series page opens.

To edit an existing report series, scroll down to the Series Available section of the page and click the Edit button for the report series in the list. The information for that report series appears at the top of the page in the Define Coverage Rate Report Series section. Edit the information as needed and click Save.

To delete an existing report series, scroll down to the Series Available section of the page and click the Delete button for the report series in the list.

To add a new report series, enter the Series Name in the Define Coverage Rate Report Series section at the top of the page, enter a number in the sort order if desired, and add the number of shorts to the selected vaccines. Click Save when finished.

Limit Manufacturer by Vaccine

This option allows an administrator to limit the manufacturers that appear in the drop-down lists for vaccines when working with lots. This option can reduce the number of errors that occur when administrating lot numbers. The option is available for both IWeb/VOMS and First Responder.

By default, all vaccines continue to display on the full drop-down list of all manufacturers, but states can limit these lots for the vaccines they are interested in limiting. If an unknown manufacturer is selected, a warning lets the user know that this is generally not a valid selection when creating a new lot.

To limit manufacturers by vaccine, click the Administration > Define Values > Limit Manufacturer by Vaccine link. The Limit Manufacturer by Vaccine page opens. Select a vaccine from the list. The Manufacturer List section for that vaccine appears on the page.

If no manufacturer is selected from the Available list, all available manufacturers appear in the related drop-down lists. To select one or more specific manufacturers, select them from the Available list and click the right arrow (>>) button to move them to the Shown list.

To remove a manufacturer, select it in the Shown list and click the left arrow (<<) button to move it back to the Available list. The manufacturer is then removed from the related drop-down lists in the application for that vaccine.

Repeat the above process for all vaccines for which you want to limit the manufacturers that appear in the drop-down lists for those vaccines.

Click Back to return to the Administration Main Menu page.

District to County Relationships

This option is used to associate districts/regions to counties/parishes.

Louisiana Users: If these relationships are not set, the District/Region and/or County/Parish drop-down lists are not populated and instead only display the -select- option.

To define these relationships, click the Administration > Define Values > District to County Relationships link. The District to County Relationships [Search/Add] page opens. Enter the district number (required when adding a new district to county relationship), select a county from the drop-down list (required when adding), and optionally select a state from the drop-down list, then click Search. If any matches are found, they are displayed in a list in the Search Results section of the page.

If the district to county relationship appears in the Search Results list, click the arrow button in the Select column for the relationship to view or delete the information. To delete the relationship, click Delete. To return to the search page, click Cancel.

If no search results are found, an Add button appears. Click Add to add the district to county relationship.

Click Cancel on the search/add page to return to the Administration Main Menu page.

Define Lookups

Administrators can create new drop-down lists for specific fields within the application. These values can additionally be optionally selected to display on the corresponding pages, or be inactivated.

For example, we can define a new Vaccine Service Type. Once the lookup definition is entered, it can appear on a drop-down list in the specified order on the Vaccination view/add, edit, and detail pages, as well as in Personal Settings.

Mississippi Users: State administrators can create edit and add to the values on the VFC Eligibility drop-down list. The CHIP program can appear on the VFC Eligibility drop-down list, State Reports, Patient/Vaccination pages, Add/Change Vaccination page, VFC Vaccination Breakdown Report, VFC Accountability Log, and Patient Breakdown Report.

Washington Users: State administrators can designate a funding source for direct-ship vaccines via the VacMan Funding Source option, which can be modified when necessary. The funding source is also included in the VacMan export. Email Bounce Reason is used to support the import of invalid email address reasons that are imported via the Contact file.

Alberta Users: VIMS administrative users (with the System Administration permission) can define new reasons for rejecting a shipment. Note that the Administration > Properties > Vaccine Management > Move Rejected Shipment to In-Transit option must be disabled (not selected).

To define lookups, click the Administration > Define Values > Define Lookups link. The Define Lookups [Search/Add] page opens. Enter the lookup type (optional) and click Search. If any matches are found, they are displayed in a list in the Search Results section of the page.

If the lookup type appears in the Search Results list, click it to view or edit the information. Existing values for the lookup type appear in the Lookup Value section toward the bottom of the page. To edit a value, click it. The information for that value appears on the Current Lookup Values page. Edit the information if necessary and click Save.

To add a lookup value for that lookup type, you must be on the main Current Lookup Values page (where the Add button is visible). Enter the Lookup Value name, the Description, and the order number (for the order in which it should appear in the list), select the Inactive option if the lookup value should not be used, select the Display option to display the lookup value in drop-down lists for the lookup type, and click Add.

To remove a lookup value from a lookup type (and, therefore, from the drop-down list for that lookup type), either select the Inactive option and/or deselect the Display option. Selecting Inactive makes the value unavailable for use at all in the application (and is similar to deleting the value), while selecting Display keeps the value active, but doesn't display it on the list for future use.
