- VIS Given Date
The date the paper was handed to the student. This is only done when a shot is being administered and can be taken as the date the shot was administered.
- Dates on Charts
Many documents combine lists of various vaccines and tests all done at different times. If there is indication of a different appointment and given date, use the given date for the vaccine you are reviewing.

If the center panel indicates "Today's Date," always use the date of submission. The date the student submitted and the date you are reviewing might be different "todays."
- Letter Dates Letters are only acceptable if they are very clear about when the shot was given.
Example 1
▶ NOT ACCEPTABLE
The letter indicates that a Tdap vaccine was received, but not WHEN that vaccine was received.
Example 2 ▶ ACCEPTABLE The letter indicates that a Tdap vaccine was received, AND it indicates that it was received TODAY.
-
Dose Declined Vs Shot Does Not Count These statements seem very similar, but they actually mean very different things.
-
"Dose Declined" or "Not Administered" If a dose was declined, or not administered, that means that no vaccine was given at all.
-
Shot Does Not Count If a vaccine date is listed but the document says it "Does Not Count," that means the vaccine was given, but is outside of the government recommended vaccine schedule. The school is not required to follow the government's timeline, and this is acceptable.
▶ ** Consent Date and Ordered Date** Some dates will be labeled "Consent Date." This does not indicate that a vaccine was given and is not acceptable alone. However, if it is present on a document that also indicates vaccine administration, we can use the consent date. "Ordered Date" is never acceptable.
▶ Future Dates Future Dates are NOT acceptable. However, a student may submit a document from another time zone that may already be into the next day. Be careful to check for this.
▶ ''Status as of" Dates Some documents will list several things and show the status of that item, "as of" a date. If the document indicates that the item was a vaccine and is completed, we can take it as a vaccination date.
▶ Multiple Dates on a Document
- Immunization documents will often have multiple dates on one document.
- If you are reviewing something that expires, like a Flu or Tdap vaccine, use the most recent date available.
- If the item is part of a series, like MMR (2 doses) or Hep B (2 or 3 doses), the item name will tell us which date to use. If the item name indicates 1 or first, use the first date in the series. If the item is 2 or second, use the second date, and so on.

RECAP - PROVIDER NAMES
REMEMBER:
- We CAN take a document from pre/elementary/middle/high schools, or school districts, as long as we have the specific name of the school/district
- We CAN take a school form without a typeset/stamped provider name if it is for the school we are reviewing.
- We CAN take documents from a different college's student health clinic or hospital, since this is an actual facility providing the record.
- We CANNOT take a different college's form (with places for information to be handwritten in with the intention of returning it to that school), unless it has a provider stamp on it.
STUDENT/APPLICANT NAME
Reviewers MUST match the first and last name on a document to the student's name in Complio.
If there is a middle name listed on both the document and the Complio account, they must also match.
If the name on the document is different than the name in Complio, the student must add a maiden or alias name to their Complio account to match it.
In Complio, the student/applicant's middle name is highlighted in red.
Anything before the red id the first name, anything after the red is the last name
If there is no red, and multiple first and/or last names, you can hover over a name to see whether it is a first name or last name.
Documents may list names in different formatting:
Last, First:
- If a comma is present, that is a clue that this name is formatted Last, First
- Anything before the comma is a last name, anything after the comma is a first name
First Middle Last:
- If no punctuation is present, we should match the first name as a first name, last names as a last name, etc.
NOTE: Complio will always list names as First Last. If a document is formatted Last First (no comma) but still matches Complio, that is ok.
FIRST NAME
Document and Complio must match
Only 1 first name needs to match Complio
- If the document and Complio both have 2 first names, but only one matches exactly, that is a match.
MIDDLE NAME
- Only required if there is a middle name on both the document and Complio
- Appears in red in Complio
- Only 1 middle name needs to match Complio
- Must either match exactly (George to George) or match inital (George to G)
NMN means "No Middle Name"
LAST NAME
Document and Complio must match
Only one last name needs to match
If Complio and the document both have two last names, but only one last name is spelled correctly, that is acceptable.
If Three or More Names are Present
If a name on a document has three or more names, the first word is the first name, the last word is the last name, and the words in the middle can be considered first, middle, or last/
MISC:
Suffixes should be disregarded
Punctuations differences can be disregarded
Gender/Sex included in name lines on documents can be disregarded
Numbers can be disregarded
If a name indicates "Test", the document should be rejected as a test.
Issues With Names:
Missing Name
- If the document is missing 1 or both names =, use rejection note "2 Document must list name"
Alias Name
- If the name is different, check the left panel to see if the name has been added as an alias.
Misspelled Name
- If the name is misspelled, use rejection note "2 Name does not match MISSPELLED"
Appears to be Someone Else's Documents
- If the name appears to be completely different in a way not explained by maiden or alias names, inform your supervisor.

Dose Declined Vs Shot Does Not Count
These statements seem very similar, but they actually mean very different things.
"Dose Declined" or "Not Administered"
-If a dose was declined, or not administered, that means that no vaccine was given at all
Shot Does Not Count
-If a vaccine date is listed but the document says it "Does Not Count," that means the vaccine was given, but is outside of the government recommended vaccine schedule. The school is not required to follow the government's timeline, and this is acceptable.
If they are affected by their dose, let them reach out to the school and ask them if they can override the category.
Consent Date and Ordered Date

''Status as of" Dates
Some documents will list several things and show the status of that item, "as of" a date. If the document indicates that the item was a vaccine and is completed, we can take it as a vaccination date.
Multiple Dates on a Document
-Immunization documents will often have multiple dates on one document.
-If you are reviewing something that expires, like a Flu or Tdap vaccine, use the most recent date available.
-If the item is part of a series, like MMR (2 doses) or Hep B (2 or 3 doses), the item name will tell us which date to use. If the item name indicates 1 or first, use the first date in the series. If the item is 2 or second, use the second date, and so on.

Guidelines That Sound Like a Trick! Check out this Guideline example: Sounds like a trick, right? One of the following is required: -2 vaccines AND a positive antibody titer (lab report required)OR -Positive antibody titer (lab report required) If your titer is negative or equivocal, new alerts will be created for you to submit a booster dated after the titer.
Read this Guideline a different way! -2 Vaccines AND any Antibody Titer result (lab report required) -OR -A Positive Titer alone (lab report required) -Remove the word "Positive" from the first bullet point

-!If you cannot determine if this is a Titer Result or not, AND there is no other acceptable documentation provided, we must Reject & ask for clarification
-Explain that we need to show exactly how they are immune so we can ensure it meets the Guidelines
Guidelines That Sound Like a Trick!
Check out this Guideline example:
Sounds like a trick, right?
One of the following is required:
-2 vaccines AND a positive antibody titer (lab report required)OR
-Positive antibody titer (lab report required)
If your titer is negative or equivocal, new alerts will be created for you to submit a booster dated after the titer.
Read this Guideline a different way!
-2 Vaccines AND any Antibody Titer result (lab report required)
-OR
-A Positive Titer alone (lab report required)
-Remove the word "Positive" from the first bullet point
Varicella Requirement Review
Varicella & Chicken Pox
Varicella in the Clinical Setting:
Varicella is the virus that causes Chicken Pox!
-Most commonly found in children between the ages of 1 and 10
-Also known as Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)
Students on Clinical Rotation will encounter children in the Clinical Setting
-It's important to avoid spreading this to children already hospitalized for other conditions!
Most people gain immunity to Chicken Pox after getting the disease one time!
This often leads to the disease "Shingles" later in life!
-Remember: Chicken Pox and Shingles are 2 different diseases!
Reviewing Varicella:
A Varicella category may ask for any of the following:
-2 vaccines (2 separate dates from ANY TIME)
-Antibody Titer
-History of Disease (HXD)
-Declination Waiver
Vaccine Timeline Diagram:
Vaccine #1
-Given at anytime
Vaccine #2
-Given at least 1 MONTH after vaccine 1
Antibody Titer
-Tested at least 1 MONTH after vaccine 2

History of Disease (HXD):
-A History of Disease is a statement indicating that the Student was infected with Chicken Pox at some point in the past
-Reminder: Most people are immune to Chicken Pox after being infected once!
There are 2 types of History of Disease statements:
-Self-Reported
-Medically Documented
=MUST have at least the year the Student was infected
=Self-Reported = Statement from the Student
=Medically Documented = Must be signed / stamped by a healthcare provider or it must be a record from a medical facility including facility letterhead
The Phrase "Medical Immune"
-This phrase can sometimes be mistaken as a Titer result or an HXD
-This phrase alone is NOT indicative of a Titer
-Remember to look for context clues like "collection date" or "drawn date" or anything referring to a test

MMR Measles, Mumps, and Rubella
- MMR refers to a group of 3 diseases
- They are commonly grouped together because one combo vaccine protects against all 3 diseases.
-All 3 diseases are HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS and mas outbreaks are always a threat -Almost ALL Clinical Sites in the US require both employees and students to be vaccinated to prevent outbreaks.
-Keep in mind: Measles aka Rubeola Rubella aka German Measles No other name for Mumps Be careful of this while looking over Vaccine records & Titer Results
Reviewing MMR:
An MMR category may ask for any of the ff:
- 2 vaccines (2 separate dates from ANY TIME)

Day 4 :p
What are "Primary Childhood" Vaccines?
About Primary Childhood Vaccines:
- Primary Childhood Vaccines are any vaccines given before the age of 11 - Series of at least 3 to be considered complete
- Guidelines may specifically ask for these vaccines
- May be referred to as "Primary Series"
- May also state "Childhood Series"
- These phrases all mean the same thing
Most common Primary Childhood Vaccines:
- Polio
- DTP / TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, & Pertussis)
Common Primary Childhood Vaccine Requirements
Reviewing Primary Childhood Vaccines:
- A Primary Childhood Series consists of at least 3 vaccines, unless the guidelines state otherwise
- When guidelines ask for a "Primary Series", there must be at least 3 vaccine dates
- The term "At Least" in the Guideline changes reporting rules
- If a Guideline states "At least 3 vaccines" – we report ALL vaccines provided if we have the attributes to do so
- Normally, we report only what makes the Student compliant
- Most often found in Polio or DTP Requirements
- Most often affects the "Dose" & "Enter Interpretation" attribute
Difference of DtaP and Tdap:
- The Capitalization Difference (Dosage Strength)
Capital Letters (D, T, P) mean a full-strength dose of that antigen.
Lowercase Letters (d, p) mean a much smaller, reduced dose of that antigen. - DTaP vs. Tdap Breakdown
Feature DTaP Tdap
Target Age: Infants and young children (under 7 years old) (Preteens, teens, adults, and pregnant individuals)
Purpose: To build initial, primary immunity (To boost fading immunity over time) Dose Schedule: Given as a 5-dose series in early childhood (Given once at age 11–12, then every 10 years as a booster) Formulation: Full strength Diphtheria and Pertussis (Reduced strength diphtheria and pertussis to prevent side effects in adults)
Basic Requirement: Student Name Signature Field (IF handwritten, needs a stamp) Providers Name Service Date
Polio
Poliomyelitis (Polio)
Polio in the Clinical Setting:
- Polio is HIGHLY contagious!
- Typically spread from person-to-person via poor hygiene conditions, contaminated food, or from contact with oral fluid
- The very young & very old are most at risk
- Those that are pregnant are also at high risk
- Given the infectious nature, Students are often required to be vaccinated against Polio to prevent spreading in the Clinical Setting
- Students will encounter kids, the elderly, and pregnant patients!
There are 3 Types of Polio
Types 1, 2, & 3
Good News! Through worldwide vaccination efforts, Type 2 has been completely eradicated since 2015!
Common Polio Submissions
Polio Vaccines:
These are all Acceptable vaccine name
Generic Names:
- Polio
- IPV
- OPV
- Polio Myelitis
- Brand Names
- Sabin (OPV)
- Salk (IPV)
- Pentacel (Combo TDaP & Polio)
Polio Titers:
-
Type 1 & 3 Titers are required together, unless otherwise stated in the Guidelines
-
Polio Titer results read differently than normal Titers Same concept – bigger numbers are better!
Reviewing Polio – Attributes
Completing Polio Attributes – Dates:
For Vaccines – use the date the vaccine was administered
Use most recent vaccine date if multiple dates are given and you only have 1 date field
Administered Date might also appear as:
Promise Date
Fill Date / Filled Date
NEVER USE VIS DATE!!
This is a common error in any Vaccine Requirement!
Remember the "At Least" Rule when multiple date fields are provided!
Influenza (Flu)
About Influenza – "The Flu"
-
The Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus
Very easily spread through close contact with others
Spreads on a predictable basis known as "The Flu Season" -
There are countless strains of the flu!
Medical researchers try to determine which strains will be most prevalent for the coming flu season
Each flu season, a new flu vaccine is released
The Flu Season:
The Flu Season refers to the months of the season
Each school determines their own flu season
This will be pre-set in Complio for each item
Sample Flu Seasons:
August 1st to May 31st
September 15th to March 31st
Reviewing Flu Requirements:
A Flu category may ask for any of the following:
- 1 vaccine administered annually
- Declination Waiver
For Vaccines:
- Watch document standards carefully – errors are common here!
- Some Schools require Vaccine Name, Lot Number, etc
For Declination Waivers:
- Often on a School Form
- Often requires a healthcare provider’s signature
- Read carefully!
Common Flu Submissions

If the info is on the Document, that field must be completed, EVEN IF not specifically required by the Guideline
Covid-19
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
About COVID-19:
- Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus
- First identified in December 2019
- Primarily spread through close contact with others
- Presents Flu-like symptoms
- Often requires testing due to similarities in diseases
- Those with existing conditions or recovering from medical issues, as well as children & the elderly are at greatest risk
- All these factors make COVID-19 extremely dangerous for both students & patients in the clinical setting!

Day 5
▶ Meningitis (Meningococcal)
▶ Meningitis in the Clinical Setting:
- There are many different strains of Meningitis!
- Vaccines exist to prevent some forms
- May also appear as Meningococcal
- Meningitis spreads easily in close quarters
- Poor hygiene conditions combined with close contact with large groups can cause the spread of Meningitis
- Those age 30 and under are most vulnerable
- Due to this, many Students living on campus often get vaccinated
- It's not just Healthcare Students at Clinical Sites
Students living in college dorms often must get vaccinated
▶ Reviewing Meningitis:
- A Meningitis category may ask for any of the following:
- 1 or 2 doses of Meningitis (Meningococcal) vaccine
▶ Declination Waiver
- Some items will auto-complete based on the student's age
- They may need to enter their Date of Birth to trigger this
▶ Reviewing Meningitis:
Guidelines can be specific about which Meningitis vaccine is required!
This chart on the Wiki outlines the Vaccines that is needed based on Guideline wording
▶ Meningitis Items:
- If the item name is "Meningitis," then any Meningococcal or Meningitis shot name is acceptable.
- If the item name is "Meningococcal," only Meningococcal shots are acceptable.
- If the item name lists a specific vaccine, we can only accept that vaccine.
▶ Rabies Items:
- Admin Notes may ask for 2 doses or 3 doses
- If Complio accepts date of vaccine, then take it
- Dose timeframes are set in Complio
- REJECT if vaccine is labeled "Administered Gluteus."
▶ NOTE: Rabies TREATMENT is not a VACCINE
- Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG) is not a vaccine
- This treatment may appear alongside follow-up vaccinations.
If you get rabies tell Sir Aivan :p
▶ Human Papillomavirus (HPV): May be 2 or 3 doses, depending on the school
▶ Pneumococcal
3 dose series
▶ Yellow Fever
Single Dose
▶ Titers and Labworks
- Vaccinations & the Immunization Process
- Vaccines & Immunizations
- Vaccines prepare your body to fight a disease or infection
- Most vaccines require multiple doses to be effective
- Immunization is the process of gaining protection from a given disease
- All Healthcare Facilities that are used as Clinical Sites have certain
▶ Immunization Compliance policies
Clinical Site staff, Students, & School Faculty members must all be compliant!
▶ Vaccines Schedules
Once the process of Immunization begins, healthcare providers administer vaccines based on a Vaccine Schedule
- The Vaccine Schedule tells us 2 things:
How many shots are in the series
How much time should pass between shots
▶ Varicella Vaccine Schedule
Standard Vaccine Schedule:
- Vaccine 1: Birth (or) Anytime
- Vaccine 2: 1 month after at least
- Titer: 1 month after final
▶ Titer Testing:
- Titers are blood tests used to measure immunity levels or infection levels
- You can test to see if you are protected
- You can test to see if you are infected or have ever been infected
- In Complio, Vaccines and Titer will be separate items, but some schools require titers specifically.
▶ Titer items will ask for one of two things:
-
ADB Standard for Titers Basic document standards Result
-
ADB Standard for Labwork Basic document standards Result Cannot be hand-written Collection date OR Reference Range (If collection date is present no need for reference range)
▶ Standard for Titer
-
Basic Standards Provider Name, Student Name, and Signature Field
-
Service Name Name of disease + indication that it is a titer (IgG, Serology, etc.)
▶ Date MUST enter the Collection Date, if it is on the document** Also called Specimen Date, or Draw Date If collection date is NOT on the document: Result Date Report Date Received Date Date next to or directly above titer name or result
▶ Different Kinds of Titers
Titer Testing There are generally 2 different Types of Titers Antibody Titer Antigen Titer Antibody Titers measure protection to a certain disease This is the Titer we look for most often! Majority of Items that allow Titers ask for this Antigen Titers measure the infection level of a certain disease This is the Titer we avoid most often! A few Items will specially ask for Antigen Titers
▶ Antibody Titers might be labeled as: ABT AB Surface AB sAB IGG / AB IGG Serology
▶ Titers to avoid! Antigen, AB IGM, or Core AB are generally NOT ACCEPTABLE (unless the item asks for it specifically) Items will specify what Titer is needed! Remember – ALWAYS go with what the Item requires!
▶ Titer Testing – Results Titer results will show in different ways: A Qualitative Result uses a word for the result Examples: Negative or Positive A Quantitative Result uses a number for the result Examples: 1023.4, 350, >150, or <1.5 Quantitative Results are preferred! Watch Admin Notes carefully, some require numerical results Titers that have numerical results usually need a reference range! The reference range tells us if the numerical results are positive, negative, or equivocal Find the numerical result & compare!
▶ Reference Range Evaluation Table (If Result is 4000)
If Result is 4000 Acceptable/Not Acceptable
Immune >165 Acceptable. The result is within the range, and the range tells us it is immune
165 Not acceptable. The result is within the range, but the range does not tell us what this means Non Immune <10 Not acceptable. The result is not within the range. The result is not "Non Immune," but it is unclear if the result is equivocal or positive Non Immune <10, Equivocal = 10.1-10.9 Acceptable. Two ranges are listed, one for negative and one for equivocal, neither of which applies to the result, so the only possible remaining result is Positive
▶ Understanding Titer Results Titer Testing – Results What the results mean: Positive = the Student is immune or protected Negative = the Student IS NOT immune or protected! Equivocal = Indeterminate By default, a titer is acceptable even if it is negative or equivocal. The student will not become compliant until they follow the school's next steps.
▶ Acceptable Qualitative terms: Positive = Immune, Protected, Reactive, (+) sign Negative = Non-Immune, Not Immune, Nonreactive, Not Protected, (-) sign Equivocal = Borderline, Grayzone, Indeterminate
▶ Specific Titers:
Varicella Titers
- *DO NOT TAKE
- Shingles
- *Herpes Zoster
- Zoster alone (does not indicate Varicella)
▶ MMR Titers
- MUST be listed separately
- Measles
- Mumps
- Rubella
- NOT "MMR"
- Review whichever specific items were assigned to you
▶ Hep B Titers
- Document MUST indicate immunity If it is not listed as a surface antibody titer, the result MUST state immune or nove or negative CANNOT indicate pre/post n-immune NOT positiHBIG infusion Hep C Titers ONLY titer where we can accept IgM by default Hep C items are checking for infection
Other Titers**
- There are a number of other uncommon titers. Remember to check Confluence for the rules when they come up.
Day 6
▶ Tuberculosis
▶ What is Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis in the Clinical Setting:
Tuberculosis, also known as TB, is a bacterial infection
Most commonly found in the lungs Due to the extremely infectious nature of TB, Schools & Healthcare Facilities screen for this on a regular basis
EVERYONE is screened, not just Clinical Intern Students!
Most people in the US do not get the TB vaccine!
The vaccine always makes you test positive!
▶ During TB screening & testing, testing positive is not the end of the story!
If the TB bacteria is detected, more tests will need to be done
Your healthcare provider will then determine if the TB infection is Active or Inactive
This is normally done with a chest x-ray
▶ Vaccine for Tuberculosis (TB)
- Tuberculosis Vaccine – BCG Vaccine:
In other countries, children receive vaccinations against TB
Receiving the BCG vaccine will cause you to test positive for exposure when receiving a skin or blood test
Because of this, TB vaccines are rarely accepted, and typically require a student to also submit further documentation
▶ Testing for Tuberculosis (TB)
- Tuberculosis Testing Options:
In general, there are 3 ways to test for TB
▶ Skin Testing
- Purified Protein Derivative (PPD)
- Mantoux
- TST (TB Skin Test)
▶ Blood Testing
- QuantiFERON (QFT or QFT Gold)
- T-Spot
- IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay)
- BAMT (Blood Assay for M. Tuberculosis)
▶ Chest X-Rays
(Will not be the actual x-ray)
It will be a doctor's interpretation of the x-ray
NOT acceptable as a TB Clearance Letter
▶ Testing for Tuberculosis – Skin Testing
-
Tuberculosis Skin Testing:
One of the most popular & cheapest ways to test for TB is Skin Testing -
First, the Student visits their healthcare provider & a small amount of testing serum is placed under the skin
This is called the "placement date" or "implant date" -
Then, usually 48-72 hours later, the Student returns to see if there was a skin reaction to the serum This is called the "read date"
The skin reaction is measured to determine if the student is positive or negative ANYTHING above 0mm must include physician interpretation
- 0mm is always negative
▶ Testing for Tuberculosis – Skin Testing Submissions
▶ Skin Testing Submission Options: Items could ask for one or more of the following Skin Test options:
- 1-Step Skin Test 2-Step Skin Test Annual Testing
▶ A 1-step skin test should have 2 dates!
- 1 Placement Date, 1 Read Date, & 1 Result
▶ A 2-step skin test should have 4 dates!
- 2 Placement Dates, 2 Read Dates, & 2 Results
▶ Annual testing will change depending on the institution. Be sure to pay close attention to the Student Note on your item.
▶ Testing for Tuberculosis – Skin Testing Submissions
▶ 1-Step Skin Test Submissions:
-
Generally, a 1-step skin test should have 2 dates & a test result
-
At a minimum, we must have at least the read date & a result
-
If the placement date & the read date fall outside of the 48-72 hour window, we must Reject
-
2 dates are required only if the Admin Note or Center Panel ask for both!
-
The Admin Note may ask for it directly OR a field may be present in the Center Panel that requires it
-
There MUST be 48-72 hours (2-3 days) between the placement date & the read date
-
Reject the test if there is less than 2 days or more than 3 days between placement & read dates
▶ 2-Step Skin Test Submissions:
- This is two 1-step tests, often completed 1-3 weeks apart!
- Generally, a 2-step skin test should have 4 dates & 2 test results
- At a minimum, we must have at least the 2 read dates & 2 test results
- If you are reviewing the 2nd step item, Complio will alert you if the date is out of scope
▶ Pay close attention to Admin Notes!
- Sometimes, Schools will ask for different amounts of time between tests
▶ Annual Testing Submissions:
- Annual Testing is PPD that the school wants submitted once a year
- May require a 1-step OR a 2-step annually
- Exact timeframes will be set by the school
- May be a single item that is submitted to every year, or may be multiple items submitted to in consecutive years
Basic requirements:
Student's Name/ Applicant's Name Provider's Name Signature field (IF handwritten, need stamp) Service Date
- WE ARE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR THE READ DATE.
▶ Skin Test Results Interpretation:
Skin test results are often called "induration"
If you don't see the word "Result" on a document, look for the word "Induration."
Skin test results will show in different ways:
A Qualitative Result uses a word for the result (Examples: Negative or Positive)
A Quantitative Result uses a number for the result (Examples: 15mm, 10mm, 3mm or 0mm)
Key Rules:
ANYTHING above 0mm must include a qualitative interpretation
0mm is ALWAYS Negative!
"No Induration" means Negative!
▶ Tuberculosis Blood Testing:
Another way to screen for TB is testing a blood sample for the TB bacteria
There are different kinds of blood tests!
Types of blood testing:
QuantiFERON (QFT or QFT Gold)
T-Spot
IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay)
BAMT (Blood Assay for M. Tuberculosis)
TB Blood Test/Screen
TB Blood Assay
This involves the Student providing a blood sample at a clinical collection site
It's only one visit for the Student, not multiple visits as with skin testing
▶ Blood Testing Options:
There are 2 Trademarked Name Brand options:
- QuantiFERON (QFT or QFT Gold)
- T-Spot
- Generic testing options may appear as:
- IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay)
- BAMT (Blood Assay for M. Tuberculosis)
- TB Blood Test/Screen
- TB Blood Assay
- If the Admin Note asks for one specific Name Brand, no other blood test is Acceptable!
- If the Admin Note allows BOTH name brands OR asks for a generic test, ANY TB blood test is acceptable!
▶ Labwork:
- Admin Notes may require blood test results to be provided as Labwork
- Labwork = Printed Document (handwritten signatures ok)
- No hand-written results, dates, or other test information
- MUST include a collection date OR a reference range
- If no collection date, we can accept other dates, but the document MUST include a reference range
▶ Collection Date could be written in different ways:
- Collection Date
- Specimen Date
- Draw Date
▶ IGRA/Quantiferon/T-Spot:
- Admin Notes may require blood test results to be provided as standard for the basic requirements PLUS (Result)
- Information can be hand-written or typed
- EXCEPTION: Provider name must be typed or stamped
If no collection date, we can accept other dates.
▶ Collection Date could be written in different ways:
Collection Date
Specimen Date
Draw Date
▶ Standard for INH Treatment:
- If a student has had an active TB infection, they may be required to submit documentation of completing INH Treatment
▶ Basic Requirements
- Service Name: INH or isoniazid
- Service Date: Completion Date
▶ Chest X-Ray Results:
▶ Some schools will have items for clear Chest X-Rays
-
This is to ensure the Student does not have Active TB
-
Most people that have TB, have Inactive TB – the chest x-ray can prove it is Inactive
-
Some schools require students who have received the BCG Vaccine to submit chest x-rays
-
Standard for Radiology Report
Basic standards and a result
MUST indicate "Radiology" or "Imaging"
MUST indicate number of views taken or previous comparison
MUST clearly indicate "Impression" or "Findings"
▶ Chest X-Ray Results Continued:
▶ Reason for Exam
Document is not required to say the reason for the exam is TB screening
The document CANNOT exclude TB screening as a reason for the exam (ex: Reason for Exam: Lung Cancer)
"Reason for Exam" might also be called "History" or "Indication"
▶ Results
Normal
Negative
No Active Disease
Within Normal Limits
▶ If there is no overall "negative" result, but the document includes a section for observations:
- As long as that section shows no findings, the chest x-ray can be considered normal.
- If it has a potential finding, the document MUST have an overall result.
Positive Chest X-Rays are NEVER Accepted
- If a student submits a positive chest x-ray, that means they have active TB! - Skip review and send a note to your supervisor so that we can alert the school.
▶ TB Clearance Letter:
▶ There are two types of clearance letter, the student can submit either one
- Questionnaire – The student must indicate any symptoms that they do have
can't use "printed by" - Letter/Note - A document declaring that a student has "no signs or symptoms" of TB
▶ Clearance Letter Standard:
- Basic standards
- MUST indicate that the student shows no signs or symptoms of Tuberculosis
Day 7
CPR
▶ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
▶ CPR in the Clinical Setting: The overwhelming majority of healthcare workers are required to know CPR! Even a Nursing Student could be called on to save a life! There are several different kinds of CPR training types The type of healthcare a Student is studying often determines the kind of CPR training they need There are also several different Issuing Agencies of CPR training Many Schools & Clinical Sites that Students attend prefer certain Agencies
▶ CPR Training Issuing Agencies:
The 2 most popular Agencies of CPR Training in the US:
- American Heart Association (AHA)
- American Red Cross (ARC)
There are many other Agencies to watch out for:
- National Safety Council (NSC)
- Emergency Care & Safety Institute
- ProCPR
- Military Training Network – conducted by American Red Cross
- ASHI - American Safety & Health Institute
- *National CPR Foundation
▶ Common CPR Types:
- The most common type of CPR Training is "Basic Life Support" Also referred to as:
- BLS / BLS Provider
- Health Care Provider (AHA and ASHI only)
- CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer (ARC) Those terms ALL mean the same thing!
- If the item name requires Basic Life Support – the above types are Acceptable
- This is the most common type required
▶ Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is a certification for healthcare workers only
- Deals with the cardiovascular unit, including electrocardiogram info & emergency pharmacology
▶ Item Name will mention this type specifically
▶ Some cards use the term "Advanced Life Support" - Advanced Life Support = ACLS
▶ Not Acceptable for BLS Requirements!
▶ Specific Types of CPR Training: PALS
▶ Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is a certification for those that work in healthcare with infants & children
-Deals with CPR & first aid techniques needed to treat infants
▶ Item Name will mention this specifically ▶ American Red Cross also calls this type "Pediatric Advanced Life Support"
- Pediatric Advanced Life Support = PALS ▶ Not Acceptable for BLS Requirements
▶ First Aid & Basic CPR Types
▶ First Aid Certifications are generally the lowest level of CPR type ▶ Will sometimes appear as:
- Basic CPR & First Aid
- Lifeguard / First-Aid / CPR / AED
- K-12
- Heart Saver ▶ Rarely required by the item name
- Avoid these unless specifically named by the item! ▶ These are NEVER Acceptable for BLS Requirements!
▶ RQI Advancement
▶ Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) is a skills improvement course that can be added on to any American Heart Association CPR Card
- Think of this as a "Level Up" to an existing type the student already has
▶ If a type has an RQI badge, it's still Acceptable - Example = BLS RQI is Acceptable for regular BLS
▶ Instructor Cards
- An Instructor Card indicates that the holder can teach & train, as well as administer CPR!
- Instructor Cards are NOT acceptable unless the Admin Note specifically says that they are.
▶ RQI Advancement
▶ Sometimes, the Student will give us an eCredential certificate along with the eCard
- Notice the different expiration dates
- Both are Acceptable alone
▶ If both are submitted, use the dates from the eCard since it gives more time!
Completing CPR with RQI Items – Dates**:
- RQI Cards are acceptable for AHA BLS, HOWEVER, they do not always expire after 2 years like other cards. They may last anywhere between 3 months and 2 years, which means accepting the Issue Date may make the student Compliant after it is expired.
▶ AHA HeartCode
▶ HeartCode is a 2-part Course option offered by the American Heart Association
- The HeartCode option is offered for most AHA Courses
▶ Allows AHA Course instruction to be broken up:
- Part 1 is offered online
- Part 2 is an in-person skills test
▶ Must have BOTH parts submitted together to be Complete Part 1 is often submitted alone – must REJECT
▶ Reviewing CPR Items:
▶ Item Name will specify what issuing agencies are allowed & what types are needed
- Accepting the wrong agency and/or type are common errors! ▶ By default, both eCards and physical cards are acceptable.
- Physical cards are becoming less and less common
▶ Some Categories may have multiple items for different CPR types.

▶ Admin notes may have additional document standards for physical cards – read carefully!
- "Front and back are required"
- "Card must be signed"
- Card needs to be signed even if there is no signature line
- eCard submissions don't need these extra requirements, EVEN if they are in the admin note
▶ CPR Submissions: Temporary Certifications
▶ A letter or certificate confirming completion of the Course
- Normally given by the Instructor at time of completion
- Proves the course was complete
- Used until the actual Card or Certification arrives
▶ Only Acceptable if allowed by the Guidelines!
▶ Normally only Acceptable for 30 days – Set Renewal Date for 30 days (1 month) - Only Acceptable once!

▶ If multiple cards are REQUIRED – use the dates from the OLDEST card provided
- We need to report the card that will be the first one to expire!
▶ If multiple cards are NOT REQUIRED – use the dates from the MOST RECENT acceptable card provided
- We use the card that gives the Student the most time!

▶ Insurance Categories
▶ Health Insurance in the Clinical Setting:
▶ Health Insurance provides coverage for medical expenses
- There are different kinds of coverage plans
- There are many different companies that provide Health Insurance
▶ While Students attend Clinical Rotation, they are at risk of getting sick or injured

- Tax Documentation is NOT ACCEPTABLE
This proves previous year coverage, not current coverage Reject & ask for current proof of coverage
▶ Documents to Avoid!
- Health Share Plans or Cost Share
These types of plans are not legally considered Health Insurance
▶ What is Professional Liability Insurance?
▶ Liability Insurance in the Clinical Setting:
Professional Liability Insurance covers healthcare workers while in the Clinical Setting In the event of an accident while practicing medicine, liability insurance pays money to those impacted by a mistake or wrongdoing Sometimes referred to as Medical Malpractice Insurance Given the nature of risk in the Clinical Setting, schools require students to be covered by some kind of liability insurance while on site
Professional Liability Insurance Documentation: Liability Documentation most often appears as: Liability Insurance Coverage letter Certificate of Insurance ADB Standard for Liability Insurance Provider name Must say "professional" liability Student name Issue date Expiration date
Professional Liability Insurance Documentation: Some Schools Require: Coverage Limits (in Dollars) This outlines how much damages the policy will cover in dollars Per Occurrence = The amount that will be paid per single occurrence Aggregate = The maximum total amount over the life of the policy Example = $1 Million per Occurrence - $3 Million Aggregate Coverage Limits can always be MORE than what the Admin Note requires – can never be less Specialty or Medical Specialty What type of person the policy will cover Example = RN Student

▶ Physical Exam
▶ What is a Physical Exam?
▶ Physical Exams in the Clinical Setting:
▶ Students are required to get a Physical Exam to ensure they are healthy & fit enough to perform the required duties
- Most healthcare jobs are physically demanding!
▶ The Physical Exam a Student undergoes is much like an examination we would receive during a doctor's office visit
- Thinking about this will help you identify Physical Exams during the Review process.
▶ Many Schools require Physical Exams to be documented on a School Form!
▶ Standard for Physical Exam:
Basic Requirements
Service Name – NO other names accepted
Physical Exam
Medical Exam
General Health Exam
Annual Exam

CPF- Client Provided Form
▶ What are CPFs?
▶ About Client Provided Forms:
▶ Many Schools create their own documents that they require Students to complete
Some examples include:
Student Handbook acknowledgment
Declination or Waiver forms
Physical exams & other health assessment
Schools give us the document & we load it into the Category
This allows the Student to download the blank form
Also allows us to see an example of the document when we review
▶ Look For Clues!
▶ If all else fails, we might have to do some detective work!
- Look at the School logo
- Look for document titles
- When in doubt, reach out!
N-95 Mask
N-95 Masks & Other Respirator Mask Fit Tests
What’s the Deal with Masks? The N-95 is a type of Respirator Protective Mask Other types exist & may be required N-95 is the most popular in the Clinical Setting Students need to be fitted for a mask to ensure it functions properly while in the Clinical Setting A Fit Test determines the type of mask as well as the mask size Fit Tests are often submitted on a card or a fillable form Normally conducted by someone at the School or other verified 3rd party provider

Standard for CPFs Standard for Documentation
Read carefully and review accordingly! Some schools will ask for more information, like model, manufacturer, size, etc. But this is only required if it is specifically mentioned in the Item Name, Admin Note, or Center Panel field.
Certificates
Some schools will require their students to obtain certifications for various courses, like HIPAA and OSHA. The Admin Note will specify either:
Standard for Certification: Provider Name Service Name Student Name Admin Note may have a sample document, but that is optional
Standard for CPFs: MUST match the sample CPF Student Name Date If there is a Center Panel field for any information, it is required. With CPFs, it is normally the date.'
(If Chamberlain for HIPAA and OSHA, they don't need to order a package as all they need to do is take the quiz.)
