| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch is in support of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
Application Programmer Interface (API) $$VDEA^XUSER was modified to
return those users with no valid DEA number (none on file, or expired
expiration date) and a valid VA number as valid DEA prescribers. The API
was also changed to highlight those users who are grandfathered, in case
grandfathering is no longer allowed at some point in the future.
e-Prescribing of Controlled Substances (CS) (ePCS) using Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI). The following modifications to the VistA Kernel
have been made to meet current ePCS requirements.
Routine ^XUSC1C was modified to prevent an infinite loop when a read
failed at the start of a "conversation". Routine ^XUSC1C was also modified
to replace hard-coded string comparison of IP addresses with supported
Kernel API calls (ICR 5844).
