Sentinel 5.17.5 User Guide

Physician Reporting

The topics in this chapter include:

• Physician Card List
• Create a New Physician Card
• Search for a Physician Card

This is a state-configurable option and may not appear for your state.

The Physician Reporting menu and its options are available for statewide physicians and accredited disease reporting healthcare professionals to add a minimum set of data into the Sentinel application to report disease cases. This information was previously sent manually on Form No. 135 and now it is stored directly into the Sentinel Case Database.

The physician reporting option can be accessed depending on your user ID and/or access role.

• If the user is using both Sentinel and Physician Card Data Entry, the user must have the Phys Card Admin permission
• If the user is only using Physician Card Data Entry the user must have the Phys Card Data Entry permission

After a user accesses the Physician Card Data Entry application, the User Agreement page appears.
