Originator Creates and Submits New QIR

Participant: Originator

Action: Submit New QIR

 

If the Originator determines that an unresolved quality or patient safety issue qualifies for a QIR, the Originator submits a new QIR by completing the following steps:

 

  1. Select Manage QIRs > New. The New QIR window displays.

  2. The following fields are required to submit a new QIR:

  1. NOTE: The facility selected in this drop-down menu is the facility initiating the QIR. This could be the Originator's assigned facility or another facility within the Originator's VISN.

     

    NOTE: Verify that you have selected the correct Vendor. This is an important step in ensuring that the submitted quality or patient safety issue is being viewed by the appropriate Vendor.

     

    NOTE: Originators are also required to enter the following text in the Recommendations and Remarks field: <Facility Number> <Facility Name>; for example, 605 Loma Linda VAMC. This is the same facility selected in the Facility field on the New QIR window. Alternatively, you can copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the facility # and name from the Facility drop-down menu to the Recommendations and Remarks field.

  2.  

Additional information can be added to the QIR (if known), including the following:

  1. Once all required information has been entered, click Submit.

  2. An Information Message will display indicating that the new QIR was created successfully. The New QIR window will be blank for submitting another QIR. Click Cancel to close this screen.

  3. The application generates an e-mail indicating that a new QIR was submitted. The status of this QIR is "New" and it is assigned a Tracking Number (TN).
