VERSION	1.0 DATE DISTRIBUTED: 2005-11-19 00:00:00 PATCH APPLICATION HISTORY: 11 SEQ #9 DATE APPLIED: 1997-10-06 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This option has been modified to reduce the amount of indirection calls utilized in build the FOREIGN FACILTIY XREF File (#1020.2). Test sites for this patch have concluded that the new method reduces the time to build the file to 1/10th of the original process. 30 SEQ #27 DATE APPLIED: 2001-02-28 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: See Patch PPP130 in the National Patch Module for description of the Build. 32 SEQ #30 DATE APPLIED: 2001-08-02 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: Patch XM7.151 restructured some domain names to XXX.DOMAIN.EXT for stations that requested it. When routine PPPPDX3 tries to locate the domain name, a null subscript error occurs at line PDXDDX+34. To correct this problem, additional checks have been added to ensure a correct domain entry is located. 35 SEQ #32 DATE APPLIED: 2002-09-06 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: The Pharmacy Prescription Practices (PPP) software relies on patient visit information provided quarterly by the Minimal Patient Dataset (MPD) CD-ROM. This CD is no longer distributed to facilities. To ensure the continuing functionality of PPP, the method of acquiring patient visit history information must be changed. This enhancement updates the PPP software to use the Master Patient Index/Patient Demographics (MPI/PD) package files as the source of data. The MPI/PD package stores the same information required by PPP in the TREATING FACILITY LIST (#391.91) file. 38 SEQ #33 DATE APPLIED: 2003-10-23 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch will modify the routine that does the daily update to the PPP FOREIGN FACILITY XREF file (PPP(1020.2)). This patch will also update the file description for file 1020.2. 37 SEQ #34 DATE APPLIED: 2004-12-28 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch updates the domain names in the Pharmacy Prescription Practice (PPP) files. The files are: PPP DOMAIN XREF (#1020.8) & PPP CONVERSION SITE (#1020.128) 39 SEQ #35 DATE APPLIED: 2006-02-13 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch corrects the problem of using the incorrect IEN (Internal Entry Number) for the institution. 41 SEQ #36 DATE APPLIED: 2006-07-11 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: PPPBLD1A CHANGE VAR I TO PPPI TO PREVENT POSS UNDEF ERROR PPPMPI MODIFY PPP BUILD FFX TO PREVENT DUPLICATE ENTRIES PPPMPI UPDATE DATE OF LAST AUTO BUILD PPPSCN2 MODIFY ROUTINE TO LOOK AT THE FILE 44.003 MULTIPLE INSTEAD OF JUST THE FIRST ENTRY 42 SEQ #37 DATE APPLIED: 2007-12-12 20:55:57 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE 43 SEQ #38 DATE APPLIED: 2009-04-23 11:32:19 APPLIED BY: USER,SEVENTEEN DESCRIPTION: All options within the Pharmacy Prescription Practices (PPP) application will be marked Out Of Order, with the message OPTION RETIRED BY PATCH PPP143 AS PER PSI-07-114. Additionally, the Outpatient Pharmacy application and AudioFax will be modified to ignore all calls to the PPP applications. 44 SEQ #39 DATE APPLIED: 2010-01-05 16:59:47 APPLIED BY: USER,SEVENTEEN DESCRIPTION: The FY09 Q4 Enhancement Release includes the retirement of the Pharmacy 1.

If after the patch is installed there are still routines starting with PPP then the site will be responsible for reviewing and deleting those routines. 9. The following PPP files and data will be removed. PPP PARAMETER File #1020.1 PPP EXCLUSION File #1020.5 PPP CONVERSION SITE File #1020.128 PPP CODE File #1020.6 PPP FOREIGN FACILITY XREF File #1020.2 PPP NEW SSN File #1020.7 recent and up-to-date data on prescriptions from other sites. Patch PPP STATISTIC File #1020.3 PPP DOMAIN XREF File #1020.8 PPP LOG File #1020.4 10. A background job will be tasked when the patch is installed to remove the PPP files and data. Upon completion of the job, a MailMan message with the subject "PPP Package Data & Data Dictionary Removal" is generated showing a list of files that were deleted. If there are routines that begin with PPP that were not removed, then they will be listed in the message. These routines will need to be reviewed by IRM to determine if they should be removed. PPP143 made the PPP options unavailable by marking them as 'Out of Order'. This patch, PPP144, will remove every component (see list below) of the PPP package from sites. 16 SEQ #11 DATE APPLIED: 1997-11-05 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: Prior to the final release of patch PPP1.011, a Quit statement was inserted into the routine while checking problems associated with the CD-Rom server. This line was left in the program by mistake. 9 SEQ #12 DATE APPLIED: 1997-11-27 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch using KIDS will install the changes necessary in routine PPPSCN2, to correct the problem of PDX requests being made daily on the same patients. 8 SEQ #13 DATE APPLIED: 1997-12-31 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch addresses the problems associated with entries in the INSTITUTION file (#4) not being dinummed. 10 SEQ #14 DATE APPLIED: 1997-12-31 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch corrects a problem of when more than one patient's information now displayed indicating if there are any differences in the patient's profile. was requested in the Display Visits to other Facilities [PPP DISPLAY FOREIGN VISITS] option. A temporary global was still intact after each patient which would display the previous patient's data along with the current patient. This also contributed to the problem of more than one patients' data being returned on the PPP -Medication Profiles. Warning messages are 19 SEQ #16 DATE APPLIED: 1998-03-18 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: Patch 8 had a routine that was looking into the wrong file for a new domain name. Also, the new look-up to get a station number from the PPP DOMAIN XREF file (#1020.8), does not accept entries that have changed their station numbers. Since this file is a pointer to the INSTITUTIONN file (#4), the non-dinummed entries can not be located. Therefore we are changing the call back to the INSTITUTION file (#4). 17 SEQ #19 DATE APPLIED: 1998-12-14 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: Patch PPP111 which reduced the amount of time it takes to extract the A new field has been added to the PPP DOMAIN XREF file (#1020.8), this field is called STATION NUMBER (#12). Currently the STATION field (.01) within this file is a pointer to the INSTITUTION file (#4). With the entries in the INSTITUTION file being changed sometimes, this new field will be the basis for collecting the proper data from the CD-ROM. CD-ROM patient data and build the PPP FOREIGN FACILITY X-REF file (#1020.2), did not allow non-domain associated entries, therefore, when the PPP EDIT DOMAIN [Edit Unresolved Domain Entries] option is executed, no entries can be found. This patch to that process will allow the entries without an associated domain to be entered into the file. 21 SEQ #20 DATE APPLIED: 1999-06-24 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: This patch provides more information to the error messages sent to of entries for 300,000 plus patients took too much system time. 20JAN99 - the routine PPPGET3 had a coding mistake in it, that asked for a code check to be done if the value of the variable was null. The check should have been in place to check if the variable was NOT null. the user informing them of missing information about patients. Also, the date of the last build is now stored in the PPP Parameter file (#1020.1), and a call to EN^DIQ1 was added to the functionality of routine PPPGET1. Problems with the purge option not running to completion have been re-programmed to execute faster. The previous use of Fileman deletion 26 SEQ #25 DATE APPLIED: 2000-08-16 00:00:00 APPLIED BY: USER,ONE DESCRIPTION: 1). Currently there are problems being reported with facilities trying The new method will transmit several hundred entries at a time. In this manner, File #1020.2, can be built a little at a time. 2). When a new patient is entered, a MUMPS cross-reference is executed which calls a PPP routine that adds the patient to PPP. PPP then tries to find any visits to other facilities by trying to access the MPD CD-ROM. If access cannot be obtained, an error bulletin is generated. Since the Prescription Practices Daily Batch Routine [PPP BATCH] option to create the FOREIGN FACILITY CROSS REFERENCE file (#1020.2). The is scheduled to run nightly to gather new patient data, the action taken by the SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (#.09) field's cross-reference is not needed. problem cannot be traced to either Pharmacy Prescription Practices or Minimal Patient Dataset. The current process of extracting the Pharmacy Prescription Practices data from the Minimal Patient Dataset CD-ROM consists of transmitting all the selected social security numbers to the CD-ROM, and then waiting for the visit data on each to be re-collected by the PPP program before the file can be built.
