What is the biggest difference between CASA and CoCASA?
The most important difference between reports results from CASA and CoCASA is the option to Apply ACIP Recommendations. This option is applied by default in CoCASA and means that only valid doses are considered in the calculation of report results. If a dose is determined as “invalid” by CoCASA, then it is as if that dose never occurred. This can result in a very different categorization of a patient included in the Summary Report. For example, if a child received all doses in the 43133 series before 24 months of age with the first MMR after the first birthday, the child would be considered “Up-to-Date” in CASA. However, if the 4th DTaP was not given 6 months after the 3rd dose of DTaP, then this child would be considered “Not Up-to-Date” in CoCASA.
