Clinic Assessment Software Application (CASA)

CASA, which stands for Clinic Assessment Software Application, is a menu-driven relational database developed by the National Immunization Program, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as an assessment tool for immunization clinics and providers. This application is used for the data entry and analysis components of a clinic assessment and includes reminder and recall tracking capabilities as well as many other special features. CASA is used in the conduct of a practice-based vaccination assessment and will help providers understand current vaccination coverage levels and immunization practices in the specified facility being assessed. CASA provides an extensive body of data that can be accessed and organized to suit individual practice needs. CASA produces reports from a menu and provides programmatic feedback that includes, yet is not limited to:

• Highlighting areas that may lower levels of immunization coverage.
• Up-to-date status of the defined age group served by the clinic or practice
• Up-to-date status of children at critical age markers
• Antigen-specific levels
• Proportion of children who drop out of the vaccination schedule.
• Extent of missed opportunities.
• Reminder and recall letters and postcards.
