Where can I find it?
Clinical: Chart > Registries > Immunization > VFC Eligibility Reconciliation
Practice Manager: Administration > Registries > Immunization > VFC Eligibility Reconciliation
What do I need to know?
The system has been updated with a new VFC Eligibility Reconciliation dialog that allows you to reconcile, at the end of day, all immunizations that were submitted to registries against their respective VFC eligibilities, thereby allowing you to address any missed or incorrectly entered VFC eligibility information and manually access the registry to update your inventory for submitted immunization(s), as needed.
When first accessing the VFC Eligibility Reconciliation dialog, the Select Date Range section will default the Immunization Submitted From and To date fields to today’s date, and the Practice and Provider fields in the Filter By section, will default to All Practices and All Providers. You can modify the dates in the Select Date Range section, or choose a preset value (Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, or Last Month). You can also choose to filter the information by Practice, Provider, or Account # in the Filter By section.
When the select criteria has been configured as desired, click the Run Report button to view the applicable patients. The system will then display any immunizations that were submitted, per the configured select criteria, and display the Registry, Submission Date/Time, Account #, Patient Name, Immunization Name, Lot #, Expiration Date, NDC, and VFC Eligibility status (the Eligibility plus the IH code).
Whenever there are any results available, you can click the Print button to print the results, or you can double-click a specific record, and the system will attempt to open the applicable chart in Clinical, if the Clinical is currently open and running for the user. If Clinical is not running a message will appear indicating that note could not be opened because Clinical is not running.

When this option is unchecked, the Pharmacy drop-down list in the Prescribe Medication will be blank when one or more pharmacies are saved for the patient, forcing the user to select a pharmacy manually. Whatever pharmacy is selected in the Pharmacy field in the Prescribe Medication screen, will default into the Confirm Prescription screen. The Pharmacy field will default as blank in the Confirm Prescription screen if no Pharmacy was selected in the Prescribe Medication screen. If the patient only has one pharmacy in their saved in their chart, that pharmacy will default in to the Pharmacy field in the Prescribe Medication screen regardless of whether the Default Pharmacy if multiple are saved for the patient option is checked or unchecked.
