034 Eligibility - Overview

034 Eligibility - Overview

Folder 034 Eligibility is a collection of searches all designed to support the identification and invitation of patients eligible for particular programmes. It was originally part of Folder 020 (020C), but as the collection expanded they were assigned their own folder for ease of access.

There are currently 5 folders within 034 Eligibility:
  1. 034A Eligible for Pneumococcal vaccination
  2. 034B Eligible for Shingles vaccination
  3. 034C Eligible for NHS Health Check
  4. 034D Eligible RSV vaccination
  5. 034E Eligible for Pertussis in pregnancy

034Z Placeholder

This final folder contains searches and reports for copying to help split out patients into groups prior to inviting patients.
Four groups are provided:
  1. Living in a care home - patients who could be offered a vaccination during a future care home visit
  2. Housebound - patients for whom a generic invitation letter or message may be inappropriate since they would require a home visit by a clinician, or perhaps a District nurse.
  3. Has mobile number - patients who can be targeted for invitation by text message. Excludes those who have dissented to communication by SMS.
  4. No mobile number - patients who would require a letter invitation, plus those with a mobile number who have dissented to communication by SMS.

How to use the Placeholder

  1. Copy 034 Placeholder search
  2. Paste in a convenient location, taking care to tick "Include descendants".

    If copying to 034A-E, the placeholder search will be automatically removed when the folder is next updated.
  3. Right click on 034 Placeholder search and select Properties.
  4. At the bottom click "Results from", then use the Spyglass to choose a parent search of patients to invite (eg: INVITE | PA-344 Patients who can be sent an invitation for shingles vaccine now)
  5. Run 034 Placeholder search, taking care to click "Advanced options", and tick "Run child searches".
