Searching for Contact Investigation Records
Selecting an Existing Contact Investigation Record from the Search Screen
After performing a search for the person, click the Person ID to open details about the Person record. If the person already has contact investigation records linked to their Person record, those contact investigation records will appear in the second table on the search screen.
SMWC Tip: Clicking on the Person ID may reveal multiple record types. Contact investigation records will be identified in the Type column by the abbreviation CI and the blue/green icon.
Security Tip: A user will only be able to see contact investigation records that fall within their specific security settings. This means that they will not see contact investigation records listed if they fall outside of their assigned jurisdiction or condition security. For example, if the user running the search below only has access to General Communicable Diseases, Suzy Hagerston could have contact investigation records for other conditions such as hepatitis or lead that would not appear in their search results as the user does not have authority to work on those conditions.
To select one of the existing contact investigation records, click on the contact investigation ID for the appropriate record in the second table to open that record.
Selecting an Existing Contact Record from Within the Person Record
Existing contact investigation records can also be selected from within the Person record. A table within the Person record shows all records linked to that Person ID. Select a specific record by clicking on its record ID within the table.
Selecting an Existing Contact Record from Within Another Persons’ Condition Record
Within condition records, contacts can be entered on the Epidemiologic tab. (More details about creating contacts from a condition record will be described in a later section of this manual.) Clicking on the ID for a contact record in this table will open the contact.
Clicking on the ID for a contact record in this table will open the contact creating screen. Clicking on the CI number in the contact cards on the left (e.g., CI 1344 for Barney Rubble) will open the full contact investigation record.
Selecting an Existing Contact Record from Within Another an Outbreak Record
Contacts to an outbreak are listed on the Outbreak record and can be selected by clicking on the Record ID to open the Contact Investigation record.
