Global Immunizations, Global or Local Requirements

Immunizations are always “global”. In other words they may be set for all locations at once. Other date based requirements, such as an annual physical, may be either “global” or “local”. If you have just a single location, the only difference is the order in which they appear. Global items appears before local ones on the child (or employee) Immunization & Requirements screen. If you have multiple locations you may “expose” global items to particular locations only, while local items are unique to their individual school.

Getting There

1. From the Procare Home screen go to Configuration > System > Data Management > Immunizations & Requirements.
2. Dbl-click either Global Child Immunizations & Requirements or Local Child Requirements.

Edit an Existing Immunization or Requirement

Just dbl-click the name of the item, like Varicella, make any necessary changes and click Save > Exit.

Add an Immunization or Other Requirement

1. Click New.



2. Enter a Name, Category and Tool Tip (optional). For “local” items the Category will be set to Requirement.



3. Enter the Schedule for this item, that is, the period when each vaccination or other requirement is due.
   1. Click the first (blank) line and choose whether this first occurrence is due at so many “months of age” or so many “days after enrollment”. For example it may initially be due at birth (0 months), 1 month, 6 months, etc. Or, perhaps it is paperwork due 30 days after enrollment. Enter the appropriate number and click the small Save button.

   

   2. If this item is due a second time, click the second (blank) line and choose whether it is due so many “months later”, “every (so many) months”, or at so many "months of age". Enter the appropriate number and click the small Save button.

   

   3. If this item is due three or more times, click the next (blank) line and choose the appropriate answer. The choices depend on how you set up the second occurrence. If you said at so many "months of age", then any additional items must also be due at a specific age.

   

   If on the second item you said so many months later, for the third item you could choose so many "months later" or "every so many months". This may be appropriate for a recurring physical.

   

   Repeat this step until all required occurrences have been scheduled. 

   

4. You'll end up with a complete schedule showing when each shot in the sequence is due. Click Save > Exit to return to the list of immunizations.



5. If this is a “global” item click the Expose button arrow and choose the locations that will use it. Even if you have just one location, be sure to click Expose to make it available to All Regions.



6. Use the Up & Down arrows to change the order as needed, then click Save > Exit.

Next: Enter Immunizations Dates and Exemptions for a child.
