IRIS Workflow: Two Ways of Structuring Your IRIS Organization
If you are considering whether multiple programs within your organization will use IRIS, you may utilize this tool to determine if each program should be represented as individual referral partners in IRIS or if your organization will be entered as one referral partner.
IRIS Workflow
Two Ways of Structuring Your Organization
Organizations with multiple programs and/or services may choose between two different options when structuring their IRIS profile. Consider which organizational structure will best serve your workflow needs.
The graphics in the example below illustrate the options for a health department which will make and receive referrals through IRIS for their Family Planning, Immunization, and WIC programs.
Option A: One Organization in IRIS
Health Department
- Family Planning
- Immunizations
- WIC
This structure may work best when:
- The staff members using IRIS can process referrals for all programs/services.
- There is overlap between services and/or eligibility requirements between programs.
Option B: Multiple Organizations in IRIS
Family Planning
Immunizations
WIC
This structure may work best when:
- Different staff process referrals for each program.
- The services provided are unique to each program.
- There are separate eligibility requirements for each program.
Users can request switch access in order to access more than one organization if needed.
