THISIS FAQ – Event

Why are there multiple HIV events for one individual?

If you come across multiple HIV events for one person, use the oldest event to enter or update any additional assignments. These assignments can include new field records, data to care, or co-infections.
 

How do I link partners and clusters to the original patient?

When linking persons (partners/clusters or baby to mom), users must use the linking functionality within the question packages (Partners/Clusters or Congenital QPs). Linking through the “Linked Events” screen WILL NOT link the events properly.
 

Deletion Rights – Who has them?

Only persons at Central Office have deletion rights. If a user needs to delete an event, they must submit a help ticket to their consultant. The consultant will review and submit the ticket to the Tier II Surveillance SMEs. The SMEs will then make a decision on whether or not the event/person needs to be deleted from the system.
