IWeb User Guide |
Although Facilities are typically set up by a user at the Registry, the information is included here because the feature is part of the IWeb application.
To search for a Facility, click Facilities > Search/Add on the menu. The Facility Maintenance page appears. Enter the search criteria (optional) and click Search. The search results appear in the Search Results section of the screen.
If an Organization (IRMS) was selected, only the Facilities for that Organization (IRMS) will appear in the list. If no Organization (IRMS) was selected before the search (including if none was selected after logging in), all of the Facilities will appear in the search results.
Enter fewer criteria to broaden the search and try to increase the number of search results. Enter more criteria to narrow the search results.
To view details about a Facility, click the arrow button in the Select column for that Facility in the list. The Facility Maintenance [Detail] page opens where, depending on your access level and permissions, you can view the information, create an order set, edit the details, and create new notes.
The Interest in Pandemic Network field displays on the Facility Maintenance [Detail] page, but not on the Facility Maintenance Update page. This field is automatically populated based on whether or not the facility has indicated an interest in becoming a pandemic vaccine provider. |
When searching for a Facility, these are the criteria you can use to conduct your search:
Field | Description |
Organization (IRMS) ID / Name |
Select an Organization (IRMS) ID and name from the drop-down list, after which the radio button will automatically be selected (if it isn't already). States have the ability to configure this so that it is an automatically populated, read-only field instead of a drop-down list. |

Before adding a new Facility, you must first conduct a search to make sure it does not already exist. Under the list of Facilities in the Search Results, click Add. (If the Add button does not appear under the Search Results list, narrow the search criteria and conduct another search that will have fewer search results.)
If you attempt to add a Facility that is already entered in the application, a message appears indicating that the Facility already exists.
After clicking Add, the Facility Maintenance Update page appears with the Organization (IRMS) name already filled in if it was selected previously, such as after you logged in.
Enter as much information about the Facility as possible (the required fields are in bold red text) and click Save.
The fields available on this page are as follows. Note that some fields may not display, or may use different verbiage, depending on state configuration.

Enter the whole number that corresponds with the Facility's district or region. There is a state-configurable option to have this field automatically populated. |
|
Automatic Ownership Blocked |
If this option is selected, the Facility cannot own patient and vaccination records. A Facility with blocked ownership does not display in the drop-down list on the patient demographics screen. When adding an administered vaccination, the Facility on the patient demographics screen is not populated with the Facility from the administered shot. |

|
DTT Profile Name |
If the reporting method is DTT Import, enter the name of the profile being used. |
|
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). |
|
Facility Group |
If this facility belongs to a facility group, select the Facility Group option and select the group name from the drop-down list. If this facility is the owner of a facility group, select the Facility Group Owner option. If the facility does not belong to a facility group, select None. See Notes about Facility Groups. |
|

Select the appropriate jurisdictional Organization (IRMS) for approving vaccine orders. This option is only visible if the user has state or local order approver permission. |
|
Is Vactrack User (Alaska) |
Select this option if the Organization (IRMS)/Facility submits data to the system but is not a VFC provider or VOMS user. The reason for this is so that there is a way to pull this information for providers that are not captured in the VFC information distribution on the provider contact report. |
|

|
Click here to select receiving transfer Organization (IRMS) and facilities |
This option only appears if the Administration > Properties > Vaccine Management > Limit Organization (IRMS) and Facilities to Receive Transfer option is enabled (selected). 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.

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:
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.
|
|
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:
|
|
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.
If the Organization (IRMS)/Facility does not have an order start date set, the order schedule is not validated.
|
|
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.
|
|
Upload Temperature Data |
Select this option to allow the Facility to upload the cold storage temperature data. |
|
Allow only one brand selection per vaccine |
Select this option to require users to select only one vaccine brand. |
|
Add user following facility creation |
Select this option, located immediately above the Cancel, Reset and Save buttons, if you want to add a new user for this Facility as your next step. Otherwise, you will be returned to the Facility Maintenance page. |
To edit a Facility's information, search for the facility and click on the arrow button in the Select column for that Facility in the Search Results list. On the Facility Maintenance [Detail] page that opens, click Edit. Make any necessary changes on the Facility Maintenance Update page and click Save.
When facilities are merged, the information from the provider agreement populates in the new facility created from the merge.
For Washington Users: If a user modifies their Facility (i.e., changes the Facility Name or Signatory Name), the user is redirected to the provider agreement and must update it and submit it to the state for approval before changes are made on the Facility Maintenance page. The state approver then opens the submitted agreement, which has the changed field(s) displayed in bold red text to signify that a change has occurred. This is seen only by the state approver when reviewing the provider agreement. After the approver approves the agreement, the alert is removed and the new name is accepted on the agreement. |
The fields available on the Facility Maintenance Update page are the same as detailed in the Add a Facility section, with these additional fields:
Field | Description |
Facility Last Updated Date |
Displays the last date/time the Facility was updated. |
Facility Last Updated By |
Displays the user name of the user who last updated the Facility. However, if the last update was based on the approval of a provider agreement, the user who approved the agreement will appear here. |
Facility Created Date |
Displays the date and time the Facility was originally created. |
Facility Created By |
Displays the user name of the person who originally created the Facility. |
You can immediately create a new order set for a specific Facility by clicking the Create Order Set button on the Facility Maintenance [Detail] page for that Facility. If an order set has already been created for that Facility, the button will display as Modify Order Set.
To view recent notes about a Facility or to create new notes, follow the steps to search for a Facility and view the data on the Facility Maintenance [Detail] page for that Facility. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. If any notes were created previously, the most recent ones appear at the bottom of the page. There is also an option to view prior notes. To add a new note, click Create New Notes, add the new note in the pop-up window, and click Save.
