The CareVue interface utilizes VISTA'S Laboratory Test Result system to
send Observation Request Unsolicited (ORU) messages to the CareVue system.
The interface messages are based on ward location and passed to an
interface engine. When Lab results are verified and the requesting ward
is identified as having a supported entry in the new CareVue Foreign
Interface file #62.487, the lab results are forwarded, via HL7, to the
interface engine and then on to the CareVue Clinical Information
Management System.
Each facility will need to refer to the CareVue Interface Specifications
manual LA7DIS.PDF as noted above for further requirements regarding
interface engines.
This patch REQUIRES that patch LR*5.2*254 be installed in order for the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
==========================
The patch is distributed in KIDS format in a PackMan message.
It is recommended that this patch be installed in a test environment first
before installing into production. Each environment (test and production)
uses a separate database and a separate integration interface. Because of
this the data that is communicated from VistA may not always be consistent
with the data that will be communicated from the production environment.
Another impact is that patient data may have to be manually entered into
CareVue interface to work properly.
the VistA test environment in order to test the proper handling of
messages going to VistA.
The install time for this patch is less than 2 minutes. This patch can be
installed when Laboratory users are on the system.
1. All routines installed with this patch are new to the system and
mapping is not recommended.
2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option of the PackMan menu.
This option will load the KIDS patch onto your system.
3. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the transport
global.
On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the
following options:
Print Transport Global
Compare Transport Global to Current System
An interface engine must exist to connect CareVue (or other clinical

4. Use the 'Install Package(s)' option under the 'Installation' men
and select the package 'LA*5.2*53'. When prompted 'Want to
