OPTION: Blood bank consultation reports [LRBLCN]
This option is available for those sites wishing to use VistA to
generate a Chartable Consultative report on patients who after Blood
Bank serological testing are found to have either an allo-antibody or a
positive Direct Coombs. If this option is used at a site, then a sample
and VHA Directive 97-033, documented on the patch change control summary
report should be printed for each type of Consultative report generated
and then reviewed to determine that all dates print using a 4 digit year
format. This will need to be completed by a user with the LRBLSUPER key
performing the following steps:
1) Select the option Blood bank consultation reports [LRBLCN].

OPTION: Print units with final disposition [LRBLRUF]
This option is designed for a site to print a permanent hard copy of the
BLOOD INVENTORY file (#65) prior to the use of the option Remove units
with final disposition [LRBLSER] to purge the BLOOD INVENTORY file (#65)
for a specified date range. This functionality is provided for those
sites who may have a need or desire to not keep all BLOOD INVENTORY data
on line indefinitely. It is not recommended that this option be run on
a routine basis. However, if necessary the option is available.

Because of the implications of generating this report, it is recommended
that if a site wishes to verify that the printing of dates uses a 4
digit year that this verification be done in a test environment. This
report should be locked with the LRBLSUPER key so will need to have a
user with that key perform the testing if performed.

During initial evaluation of LRBL namespaced routines it was reported
that 26 routines would need renovation to be Y2K compliant. After
further evaluation, it was determined that only two LRBL namespaced
routines would need to be modified. The routines originally reported but
not modified are:

Installation Instructions:
=========================
Note: This build contains LR*5.2*201 and LA*5.2*42 therefore, the
environment for installation must satisfy all three patches. There are
special considerations made for Automated instruments which are
not directly associated with Blood Bank.
1. The following patches must be installed prior to installation of this
patch: LR*5.2*153, LA*5.2*27, LA*5.2*37, DI*21.0*44, XU*8.0*71.
2. From the Kernel Installation and Distribution Systems (KIDS)
Menu, select the Installation Menu [XPD INSTALLATION MENU]:

4. From the 'Installation Menu' of the KIDS menu, run the option

have the correct checksum.
5. From the 'Installation Menu' of the KIDS menu, you may use the option

prior to the Install.
6. Users can remain on the system. Installation should take less than
ten minutes during non-peak hours.

in a format which allows the definite determination of proper century.
The Y2K guidelines document states that applications are required to
expand the external date displays on reports or forms which can be
considered legally binding documents between the VA and the veteran, an
agent of the veteran, or a service- or product- provider to the VA.
Using this statement as a guideline it was determined that the reports
generated by the following options were to be modified to display the
date using a 4 digit year format rather than the traditional dd/mm/yr
format currently used:
Print single BB patient report [LRBLP PRINT SINGLE]
Print all BB patient reports on print queue [LRBLP PRINT ALL ON QUEUE]
Blood bank consultation reports [LRBLCN] **> Locked with LRBLSUPER
Print units with final disposition [LRBLRUF] **> Locked with LRBLSUPER
RISK ANALYSIS: Since the coding changes only affect the format of the
year printed on the report and have no functionality changes, the risk
Test Site(s)--Alpha Platform w/ DSM OS: Milwaukee, Brockton
is NONE.
EFFECT ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS/ INTENDED USES: Problem does not
involve a software safety critical requirement and does NOT change the
scope of a design safeguard or intended use.
POTENTIAL IMPACT ON SITES: There is no potential impact on the sites
from the installation of LR*5.2*203.
VALIDATION TESTING REQUIREMENTS: Although the changes do not involve
North Chicago
any requirements or functional specifications, it is necessary to
perform the following steps in order to confirm that the Patient
chartable reports are printing dates using a 4 digit year format:
OPTION: Print single BB patient report [LRBLP PRINT SINGLE]
This option should generate a chartable patient report where the date
format uses a 4 digit year regardless of whether the work was done
before or after installation of the patch. To verify this:
1) Select the option Print single BB patient report [LRBLP PRINT
SINGLE].
2) At the prompt Select Patient Name: type in a name of a patient who
has previous Blood Bank results.
3) At the prompt Print component requests ? NO// press the ENTER key
to accept NO as the response.
4) At the prompt DEVICE: select a valid printer name or print the report
to the screen.
Examine the report to verify that all instances of the date are
formatted to include all four digits of the year.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 above with the following exception:
During step 3) answer YES to print component requests.
Examine the report to verify that all instances of the date are
formatted to include all four digits of the year.
OPTION: Print all BB patient reports on print queue [LRBLP PRINT ALL
ON QUEUE]
DESCRIPTION:
This option is used to print a batch of chartable patient reports. The
format of the individual patient reports should be identical to the
reports printed using the option Print single BB patient report [LRBLP
PRINT SINGLE]. To verify the correct date format on these reports
perform the following steps:
1) Select the option Print all BB patient reports on print queue [LRBLP
PRINT ALL ON QUEUE].
2) At the prompt Save reports for reprinting ? NO// answer YES.
3) At the prompt Print component requests ? NO/ answer YES.
