  12. How to Understand the NCIR Assessment Summary Report

  13. Note the Date Report Was Run Verify the correct Client Population Notice the Evaluation Date and How it corresponds to the Birth Date Range

  14. AgeGroups Include Clients Who Are: 36-72 months of age 24-35 months of age 12-23 months of age <12 months of age on the Evaluation Date, that was entered when the report was generated

  15. Review the Number of Records Analyzed Verify the Birth DateRange corresponds with the age group(s) of interest. These birth date ranges will be used to generate the Request Reminder report to identify clients who are not up to date

  16. Important Info! • Records Analyzed shows how many active clients were in each Age Group as of the Date Report Was Run • Data included in report is not updated in “real time” • Changes made to a client’s information during a particular day will not be reflected until the next day

  17. The “1-4” notation refers to the footnotes about benchmarks Immunization Status Table

  18. 24 - 35 Usemonths of age as your initial target group This is the % UTD For the 2 year olds Benchmarks

  19. What I Need to Know… 1) UTD by 24 months equals 4 DTaP, 3 HepB, 1 MMR, 3 HIB, 3 Polio 2) UTD by 12 months equals 3 DTaP, 2 HepB, 2 HIB, 2 Polio 3) UTD by 7 months equals 3 DTaP, 2 HepB, 2 HIB, 2 Polio

  20. To Find a Count of the Number of Clients That are UTD: 8 x 50% = 4 UTD

  21. A Look at Each Individual Vaccine at Different Ages (Benchmarks) A “benchmark” is used as a standard for measuring or assessing something

  22. The Age Specific Immunization Benchmarks grid shows how many vaccines are needed to be considered UTD at specific age milestones.

  23. Clients are Considered UTD at 24 Months if They Have Received:4 DTaP, 3 HepB, 3 Hib, 1 MMR, 3 Polio, 3 Prevnar, and 1 Varicella

  24. Age Specific Benchmarks

  25. Clients who could have been UTD with ONE additional visit. This represents 25.0% of the total clients in this age group. There were 2 clients 24-36 months of age who could have been UTD with additional immunizations. 1 client needed only 1 vaccine to be brought UTD. That 1 client represents 50.0% of the 2 clients who could have been brought UTD.

  26. Late Start or Dropped Off Schedule After a Good Start The upper portion of table shows Late Start Rates for 3 different age groups. The lower portion of table displays Drop Off Rates for 5 different age groups.

  27. Studies have shown clients who start late are more likely to continue to be behind and therefore are not age appropriately immunized.

  28. Calculating the Drop Off Rate Footnotes

  29. No Birth Dose of Hep B and Have Not Completed the 3 Dose Series Note the footnotes here for further clarification of the clients being assessed.

  30. Missed Opportunities NOTE: Missed opportunity on last visit may reflect incomplete documentation of immunizationhistories rather than true missed opportunities for simultaneous vaccination.

  31. A Word About Alternative Schedules If your practice allows parents to vaccinate according to an alternate schedule this will affect your number of missed opportunities

  32. Documenting Parental Refusals

  33. Note the Client Comment and Applies to Date
