Ministry of Health Reason for Immunization: COVaxON Data Entry Guidance May 2021 Context This document provides data entry guidance on the Reason for Immunization data field in COVaxON, which captures the eligibility criteria that a client meets to receive their COVID-19 vaccine. Changes to the RIM drop down in COVaxON Guidance on selection of RIM (logic model) Definitions & considerations The sector expressed a need to standardize Reason for Immunization (RIM) provincial data entry guidance, including clear value definitions, training and ongoing quality assurance. Public Health Ontario prepared a draft data entry technical guidance document for the reason for immunization data field in COVaxON for ministry consideration including: Principles for selecting a reason for immunization Default values with corresponding definitions Flow chart to assist with decision-making We have worked closely with key ministry areas (policy, operations, data analytics, IT) to review the guidance and update the information to capture all phases of the vaccine strategy within this briefing deck. We have also reached out to relevant ministries to validate definitions. The recommendations have been endorsed by the Executive Table on Vaccine Reporting and Dr. Williams. This information from PHO has been instrumental in providing the following go forward directions. The ministry is also working on data quality remediation for RIM to ensure the data in COVaxON maps to this drop-down list. The recommended prioritization logic model and definitions will be an asset in this work as well. 2 Reason for Immunization to Support Phase 1-3 of the Vaccine Strategy One list of “reason for immunization” and only one entry Reason for Immunization selected should reflect the primary reason the client was vaccinated at the time of the first immunization event The dropdown list is reordered to align with prioritization logic (as per slide 5) Long Term Care: Resident Long Term Care: Healthcare Worker Long Term Care: Other Employee Long Term Care: Other Non-Employee Long Term Care: Essential Caregiver Retirement Home: Healthcare Worker Retirement Home: Resident Retirement Home: Essential Caregiver Retirement Home: Other Employee Retirement Home: Other Non-Employee ALC: Alternate Level of Care Patients in Hospitals Healthcare Worker Indigenous community Chronic Home Care Advanced Age: Community Dwelling Person with Priority Health Condition Caregiver of Person with Priority Health Condition Congregate Living: Resident Congregate Living: Staff Congregate Living: Essential Caregiver Agriculture: Temporary Foreign Worker- Congregate Setting Community at Greater Risk Agriculture or Farm Worker (not temp foreign worker) Food Manufacturing Worker Education
