What is a SDIR Limited Clinical Provider?
SDIR has several different levels of user access which are required based on state law and the HIPAA ‘need-to-know’ guideline. There are full users, Limited Clinical Providers (LCPs) and read or view-only users.
The "Limited Clinical Provider (LCP)" user manual is for users that enter records and/or give immunizations. Click here to go directly to the LCP User Manual.
The LCP user designation covers Women, Infant and Children (WIC) users, the County of San Diego HHSA CalWORKS (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) ‘welfare’ programs and schools (which are also read-only users). According to the state law that governs immunization registries—California Health and Safety Code Section 120440, entities such as schools, child care, facilities, WIC, health care plans, and county welfare departments are authorized to participate in the immunization information system (registry). In the case of schools, child care facilities, family child care homes, and county welfare departments, the purpose of their access is to carry out their responsibilities regarding required immunization for attendance or participation benefits, or both, as described in the California Health and Safety code and in the Welfare and Institutions Code.
According to state law, schools, child care facilities, family child care homes, WIC service providers, county welfare departments, and health care plans shall maintain the confidentiality of demographic and immunization information in the same manner as other client, patient, and pupil information that they possess. These institutions and providers are subject to civil action and criminal penalties for the wrongful disclosure of any of the individual’s personal information.
Furthermore, users within these entities, which in the SDIR are categorized as LCPs will not be able to view or see on printed records from the registry any information pertaining to the individual’s or their parent’s/guardian’s address, phone number, SSN, and Medi-Cal number. LCP users are allowed and encouraged to enter and view all other demographic and immunization information.
As outlined in formal agreements between SDIR and, WIC, CalWORKS and school districts, users from these organizations will copy immunization information and documented disease history into the registry from the individual California Immunization Record (CIR) also known as the yellow card.
With the exception of the four demographic data elements previously mentioned, LCP users are able to enter all other pertinent information on the individual. They can also print out from the SDIR several important documents such as the California Immunization Record (yellow card) and for school users, the California School Immunization Record (blue card). The LCP user’s manual explains other features and functions available to the LCP user.
