Missing Lot Facility - What does it Mean?

Question: Why is Lot Facility missing from the WAIIS vaccination details?

Short Answer: Lot Facility will only populate if the incoming vaccination dose was able to decrement or automatically subtract from IIS inventory.

Requirements for Inventory to Decrement: A vaccination record may be accepted by the system, but the dose will not decrement from IIS inventory if any of the following data elements in the HL7 message do not match exactly with what is in the IIS.

• Facility ID
• CVX Code (vaccine product code)
• MVX Code (vaccine manufacturer code)
• Lot Number
• Funding Source

The vaccine inventory must be received in the IIS prior to documenting the administered vaccine.  

To determine why an administered vaccine did not decrement, compare the data elements documented in your EHR system and included in HL7 messages with what is saved in the facility’s IIS inventory. Any of the fields noted above that don’t match exactly will need to be corrected in either the EHR or the IIS. Once corrections are made, the record can be re-sent to the IIS or manually updated in the IIS by using the “click to select” hyperlink in the vaccination details screen.

To identify doses that have not decremented for your facility run a Patient Detail Report.

To learn more about troubleshooting common inventory management issues, refer to the Managing Inventory with an Interface quick reference guide.  For additional assistance please contact the IIS Training Team at IIS.Training@doh.wa.gov.
