DESCRIPTION
This Reminder Definition was created for the sole purpose of setting a 
new Frequency of every 2 years for Homelessness Screening, IF the Veteran 
has had 3 consecutive NEGATIVE SCREENS. It required 6 Function Findings 
to do so, (comparing dates of three negative, versus any positive 
screens). The MUMPS string would have been in excess of 255 characters in 
the Customized Patient Resolution Logic - not allowed in MUMPS fields.
So, this alternative was developed. All the Function Findings are found in
this Reminder Definition, which is then entered as a Computed Finding in 
the main Reminder Definition (VA-HOMELESSNESS SCREENING).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The frequency of the main reminder (VA-HOMELESSNESS SCREENING) is set to 1
and more recent than any positive Health Factor finding. 
 
Finding #2 (Current Stable Housing) and Finding #4 (No concerns about
housing in the near future) are required for a NEGATIVE Screen, which 
resolves for 1 year. If three consecutive screens are negative, the 
reminder will be resolved for 2 years - using the complex number of 
Function Findings - the sole reason for this Reminder Definition.
 
Function Finding 1 looks for 3 negative screens.
 
year, but somewhat complex resolution logic was necessary, so that various
Function Findings #2 - #6 ensure that the NEGATIVE Screens are both 
consecutive and more recent than any negative screen.

With no resolution logic set on this Reminder Definition, it serves as a
means for resolving the main reminder (VA-HOMELESSNESS SCREENING) for 2
years . If this reminder evaluates as TRUE, then the main reminder is
resolved for 2 years, because the CF has a Match Frequency/Age of 2 years.
