Certification

If a child is recertified less than 30 days before its first birthday, the certification for six months is automatically assigned. The States would like the ability to select if that certification is valid for a longer length of time.

The following business rules were added:

• CLN_INFANTCERTLENGTH

• Default value: 6

• Length of infant recertification, in months

• The length of the certification period will be determined by the value contained in this rule.

• CLN_INFANTRECERTBEFORE1STBIRTHDAY

• N

• Description: allows an infant subsequent certification to be started prior the first birthday.

• When business rule is set to Y, then the Certification Menu/button is enabled within 30 days of his first birthday. If the value is N, the Certification Menu/button is disabled.

If an infant is changed to the child category through end-of-day processes, all risk factors that apply to both categories are carried forward into the system-generated pseudo-certification.

Database changes were made. For more details, see Database Changes.

ENH-458

Blood Work Regulations

Need to adhere to the Federal blood work regulations while also maintaining the ability for staff to use their professional judgments.

The following business rules were added:

• BWREQUIRENOTE

• The default value to this rule is No.

• When the value is No, the system will not require notes in some circumstances.

• When the value is Yes, the Edit Reference Dictionary screen for the BLDWRKEXCP category is updated with the Require Notes button. When this button is clicked, the system is triggered to add an identifier to the Value field.

• When the value is Yes and an exception reason is set or the Delayed Blood Work check box is selected, the system generates an alert upon opening the participant folder. This alert lets the user know a blood work entry is required.

• BWISSUANCELIMIT

• The default value to this rule is 1.

• This rule sets the number of months of issuance that will be enforced based on the selected exception reason. This rule will only be usable if the BWRequireNote rule is Yes.

The system has also been updated to:

• Only allow the Delayed Blood Work information to be edited the day it was entered. Otherwise it will be read-only.

• No longer terminate a participant if the Delayed Blood Work check box is selected unless there are other valid reasons to warrant a system-generated termination.

Database changes were made. For more details, see Database Changes.
