| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
Patch 731 enhances the appointment fixing routine used by the manual fix
test data available to the development team. The relaxation of these
1. RTC 1087933 - Appointment fix options (manual and automatic) do not
fix appointments that are cancelled in the patient (#2) and location
(#44) files but not in the appointment file (#409.84). Also to
activate a cancelled appointment file entry if the patient file entry
is active.
Problem:
-------
The appointment fixing routine developed for patch 723 does not repair
active appointment file (#409.84) entries when the patient file (#2)
restrictions resulted from experience with production data in the IOC
appointment is cancelled and vice versa. This problem was discovered
during production IOC testing.
Resolution:
----------
The appointment fixing routine was modifed to change appointment data
from active to cancelled and cancelled to active.
The instructions for using the two appointment fixing options are
described in detail in patch 723.
sites.
2. INC6787649 - Cancels wrong pt. appointment when original appointment
was made through self scheduling.
Problem:
-------
When a VAOS-created appointment is cancelled in VSE, the appointment
for the previously scheduled appointment, for another patient, is
cancelled instead.
Resolution:
----------
Appointment cancellation can be performed from the appointment context
menu associated with the appointment from either the Pending
Appointments list or the calendar. A change was made to a MUMPS routine
(SDECEPT) that blocked access to the cancel appointment option on the
calendar. The block resulted from time being filed along with date in
the CID field by VAOS. SDECEPT strips off time when it returns data to
VS GUI. The presence of time resulted in an "unhandled exception" error
in VS GUI blocking access to the cancel appointment option.
The new version can flag an appointment file (#409.84) entry as cancelled
Note: This code change does not correct the error in the cancel option
on the Pending Appointments list. That correction will require a change
to VS GUI and will appear in a future release of the software.
