| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
The TIU*1.0*296 patch entails modifying the Computerized Patient Record
note being co-signed by the licensed clinician responsible for reviewing
and approving the note.
Prior to this modification, no TIU alerts were sent to the service
providers. This resulted in missed opportunities to provide needed
services for patients while the patients are on site, and forced staff to
take time to contact patients and reschedule needed services
This patch utilizes one new file (TIU TEXT EVENTS (#8925.71)) used to
define the words or phrase that will be searched for in a TIU document
System (CPRS) Consult/Request Tracking package to send a Text Integration

to the TIU Maintenance Menu [TIU IRM MAINTENANCE MENU]. This option is
used only to set up a text event in the TIU TEXT EVENTS file.
***IMPORTANT***: Any TIU document that is to be used for these alerts MUST
have the MUMPS code 'D TASK^TIUTIUS(DA)' entered in the POST-SIGNATURE
Utilities (TIU) alert to the appropriate service provider immediately
