System configuration

Before you start using Oracle Health Immunization Management, administrators meet with their Oracle Customer Success manager to configure the system based on their requirements. These decisions impact what the users see in the application and what patients see when they register or view their profile.

For example, administrators can choose the name they want shown in the product banner, enable self-registration for patients, and include the ability to send surveys. If you want to make any changes after your Customer Success manager implements your requests, you must contact your Oracle Customer Success manager and request new changes.

Each system requires the following field information for your organization:
  • Name
  • Country code
  • Country
  • Time zone
  • Welcome message (seen by patients when they begin the self-registration process, if allowed)
  • Point of contact

For more details on what you can configure through your Oracle Customer Success manager, see the following table.
