Changes made in this release of the software are detailed below.
The USDA regulations for some risk factors changed. A federal mandate requires changes to risk factor assignments to be implemented in all WIC MIS systems by 10/01/2016. The changes to the USDA regulations for risk factor assignment are as follows as follows:
The guideline for the assignment of risk factor 211 changed from "Lead level >= 10" to "Lead level >= 5".
The guideline for the assignment of risk factor 332 changed from "16 months between pregnancies" to "18 months between pregnancies" and the name of the risk factor changed from "Closely Spaced Pregnancies" to "Short Interpregnancy Interval".
The guideline for the assignment of risk factor 601 changed to allow pregnant women who are also breastfeeding the assignment of risk factor 601.
The guideline for the assignment of risk factor 602 changed to allow pregnant women the assignment of risk factor 602.
As a result, the SPIRIT WIC system was modified to accommodate the new USDA regulations for the correct assignment of the risk factors. However, some of the USDA regulations did not require a code change.
For some of the USDA regulation changes to risk factors, the users must manually update the risk factors in the Reference Utility application module.
Refer to the documentation below for detailed information regarding the code changes made and the user changes required for the new USDA regulations.

DFDD EBT Gap Analysis |
Entire DFDD (wicdfdd.chm) |
As State Agencies move toward EBT implementation, it became evident that the SPIRIT WIC DFDD was lacking in detail that is vital to clearly understand the EBT functionality within the SPIRIT WIC system and define future change orders and enhancements to the system. A thorough gap analysis was performed on the SPIRIT WIC DFDD to analyze the current EBT functionality and to establish the current baseline of EBT functionality within the SPIRIT WIC system. As a result of the EBT gap analysis, the SPIRIT WIC DFDD was updated to reflect the current behavior of EBT functionality within SPIRIT WIC system. To thoroughly track the changes made during this effort, a revision-tracked document was created to allow easy identification of each change made to the SPIRIT WIC DFDD. Refer to the 2016-008 EBT Gap Analysis Documentation for detailed information. |
