IWeb User Guide

Facilities

The options listed in the Facilities menu allow you to search for, add, and edit information for Facilities (clinics) for consistent data entry and to avoid data entry redundancy.

In the First Responder module, both referring organizations (employers) and vaccination locations are defined as Facilities and appear as "Facilities/Employers" on the menu and options.

Facilities are usually configured by a user at the Registry level, so most users do not have access to the Facility setup screen.

Depending on your access level and permissions, you may be able to add a new user immediately after adding a Facility. An option to invoke the Web User Maintenance - Add portion of the IWeb application appears on the Facility Add page if you have the appropriate permissions. See Add a Facility for more information.

The topics in this section include:

• Select a Facility
• Search/Add/Edit Facilities
• Redisplay Search Results
• Redisplay Facility Details

Notes about Facility Groups

A facility group allows Facility Client users that belong to the home facility (known as a facility group owner) to run reports and perform other actions for the other facilities that belong to the group, as well as for their own facility. A facility within a facility group does not have access to another group's data (unless they are a user assigned to the home facility).

Before creating a facility group, a decision needs to be made as to which Facility Client user will be a facility group administrator. The facility to which that user is assigned needs to become the facility group owner. To create the facility group owner, click Facilities > Search/Add, search for that facility, and click the arrow button (in the Select column) for that facility in the Search Results list. Click the Edit button on the Facility Maintenance [Detail] page for that facility. Scroll down to the Facility Group field and select the Facility Group Owner option. Click Save to save the changes.

For each of the facilities that are to be included in the group, search for and locate the facility, click the arrow button in the Select column for the facility, and click Edit to edit the facility's details. Scroll down to the Facility Group field and select the Facility Group option, then select the name of the facility group owner (the name of the owning facility) in the drop-down list. Click Save to save the changes. Repeat as often as needed.

The Facility Client user for the facility group owner can then perform actions (such as running reports) for the facilities within the group at their next login.
