Patient Priority Groups Section

Patient CRA Event Information Section

Purpose

If your organization is selected for an event, and the event is ongoing, then the CRA Event Information Section will be displayed on the Edit/Enter New Patient screen and the Record Immunizations screen for you to select the appropriate priority group category for a patient obtained through candidate screening.
