The Provider Agreements page can be accessed by clicking Orders/Transfers > Provider Agreement from the menu on the left, but only if an administrator has enabled the provider agreement options in the Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management section, and each Organization/Facility has enabled the Allow Provider Agreements option on their individual Maintenance pages. See Administration Settings for more information about configuring administrative options, and Facility Maintenance for Organization/Facility settings information.
If the Administration > Properties > Vaccine Management provider agreement options have been enabled, Registry Client users can search for and approve provider agreements that have been submitted from the application's home page.
