Application Information                        

Washington CDR is a web-based application requiring Internet Explorer version 5 or greater.  The browser must have cookies, JavaScript and VBScript enabled for the application to run correctly.

Team User Privileges 

Washington’s State Department of Health CDR program supports local teams throughout the state, which represent counties within Washington State. Each team will oversee at least one county and some teams may oversee more than one. The Application Owner(DOH) will determine all user privileges. 

Each designated team member will be able to create & edit his or her own cases.

• Each team member will be able to edit cases created by other members on their team.
• Certain teams may be allowed to view & edit another team’s cases as well as their own (for example, regional teams representing multiple LHJs).
• State-level system users will be able to view and edit any team’s information.
• Cases will be distinguished by different team suffixes attached to the case number.

Accessing the Washington CDR Site                                                                                                   

 Access to the Washington CDR site requires the user to have a digital certificate and to be registered through Transact Washington.  The digital certificate provides proof of identity for electronic transactions and allows for a secure means of conducting business with the State of Washington.  Transact Washington acts as a portal for conducting electronic transactions by verifying a person’s identity with the fact that they have permission to access the application they are trying to use.  The digital certificates used with the CDR web application are purchased through Digital Signature Trust (see Appendix A for purchasing instructions). 

After the user has obtained a digital certificate and it has been loaded onto an appropriate machine, the user needs to open an account with Transact Washington via a registration process and add CDR as a service (see Appendix B).

 Upon being approved for CDR site use by DOH, the user may open their transact Washington account by going to http://transact.wa.gov and selecting 'myTransact' Account from the left hand menu.  A Client Authentication dialog box will appear asking the user to verify the certificate being used.  Followed by a dialog box asking for user’s pass phrase (be patient it can take awhile).

Next click on the link for the Washington CDR site. Once you’ve entered the Washington CDR site, a Terms of Use statement  will appear on your screen.  If you agree to comply with the Terms of Use statement, click on the button labeled ‘Continue’.
