Medical-24-Hour Reports
|

Violation:
Since the last inspection on 3 January 2018, nine different 24-hour reports submitted by the ship prior to arrival in an U.S. port were never received by VSP. Staff stated that since the beginning of the year the new electronic medical database was supposed to automatically submit a 24-hour report prior to arrival in the U.S. The electronic medical database did have a record that these nine 24-hour reports were submitted, but upon further investigation it was determined that the email used by the electronic medical database was midrs_test@cdc.gov.test instead of midrs@cdc.gov. The specific 24-hour reports missing were from prior to arrival in Miami, Florida on 13 January 2018; in Key West, Florida on 22 January 2018; in Miami, Florida on 6 February 2018; in Miami, Florida on 16 February; in Key West, Florida on 25 February 2018; in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 1 March 2018; in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands on 5 March 2018; in Key West, Florida on 17 March 2018; and in Miami, Florida on 28 March 2018.
