Pocket of Need

The Pocket of Need report is used to isolate immunization series within specific age groups and to provide a total. Additionally, it lists the total number of births, percentages for those that are One Dose Away, Complete, and Under-Immunized. The totals can be grouped by district/region (if used by the state), county/parish, zip code, facility, and school.

This report includes the various user-defined pockets of need reports. Users must have the View Pocket of Needs Report permission.

This report can be scheduled.

An administrative option exists to separate vaccine family rules for these reports, specifically for Tdap. Selection can be separate and/or family, and be used independently or combined. The two database tables used for this can be modified with SQL*Plus to create a different reporting output.

County View users have limited access to this report for facilities in their county and are required to schedule the report during off-peak hours. Therefore, they require both Management Reports and UFM Access permissions. When adding or editing a design, only the user's county is available and only facilities within the county are accessible. Both the Facility and the Organization (IRMS) need to belong to the County View user's county in order for the user to be able to select them on the report drop-down lists.

The following are frequently asked questions about the Pocket of Need report:

Is the Pocket of Need report generated by service or by ownership?

By ownership.

Are the age range dates to or through the older age?

Through the older age listed in the To field.

What age is used for the Last Up to Date calculation?

The date when a dose is considered late is calculated by the sum of the patient's birthdate and the age parameter, which is defined while designing the Pocket of Need report.
