| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
============
14. The Review by order number [LRCENLKUP] option date displays is
converted to use Kernel date conversion utilities.
15. Edit or Print WKLD CODES [LR WKLD CODE EDIT PRINT] option is enhanced
to print all WKLD CODES, even if they have not been activated. This will
correct the problem of WKLD CODES that have a suffix of .0000 not
printing.
16. Workload Report [LRCAPR1] option has been enhanced to allow the user
to select combinations of LEDI collecting institutions or Hospital
locations.
17. When verifying Microbiology specimens the user is prompted for
additional workload. A screen has been added to allow only a number
between 1 to 25. This is to prevent inadvertent entering of WKLD CODE
number instead of the multiply by number.
Laboratory Menu and Option Changes:
============================
The Laboratory CPT Code Modifier enhancement patch LR*5.2*263 provides the
LIM workload menu [LR LIM/WKLD MENU]
The LIM workload menu [LR LIM/WKLD MENU] is modified to add the new
InActive WKLD CODE File CPT Codes Print [LRCAPCPTI] option.
New Option
InActive WKLD CODE File CPT Codes Print [LRCAPCPTI] option
The new Inactive WKLD CODE File CPT Codes Print [LRCAPCPTI] option scans
Laboratory Version 5.2 software application the ability to transmit
the WKLD CODE file (#64) for code(s) that are no longer allowed or code(s)
that are inactive in the CPT file (#81). The "WKLD CODE - CODE CHECK
REPORT" is then generated displaying all CPT code(s) that are no longer
allowed, code(s) that are inactive and why they are inappropriate,
laboratory test names linked to WKLD code(s) (i.e., laboratory test names
listed on the report will not receive PCE Workload credit), and code(s)
requiring a different entry in the CPT file (#81) in order to capture PCE
Workload data.
The new Inactive WKLD CODE File CPT Codes Print [LRCAPCPTI] option is also
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes and Modifiers to the Patient
useful when a new CPT Code file is released (i.e., new CPT code files are
usually distributed annually). The new CPT Code files may contain codes
that are no longer allowed or codes that are inactive in the VISTA CPT
file (#81). When CPT codes defined in the WKLD CODE file (#64) are deemed
inactive in the CPT file (#81), then the software enters a date in the
WKLD CODE file (#64), Inactive Date field (#3) for those inactive codes.
The Laboratory PCE interface checks each CPT code in the WKLD CODE file
(#64) before sending CPT workload to the PCE API. Whenever CPT code(s) are
no longer allowed or has been inactivated a VA Mailman message containing
the "WKLD CODE - CODE CHECK REPORT" is sent once a day to the LMI mail
Care Encounter (PCE) workload capture Application Interface (API). The
group.

Data Dictionary Change Summary:
The following file and field changes occur with the installation of VISTA
Laboratory CPT Code and Modifiers Patch LR*5.2*263.
WKLD CODE file (#64)
The WKLD CODE file (#64) was modified to convert existing file data to
method of workload reporting several new fields were created and the
a new data structure, new fields were created, and existing fields were
modified to support the Laboratory workload reporting enhancements of CPT
codes and modifiers.
1) CODE field (#18) multiple has been changed from a free text field to a
variable pointer.
2) CODE field (#.01) has been changed from a free text field to a variable
pointer. This field is screened to allow only active code entries to the
MORPHOLOGY FIELD file (#61.1), ICD DIAGNOSIS file (#80), and CPT file
Laboratory software logic was modified.
(#81).
3) CODE subfile (#64.018) was modified to add the new CODE NOTES field
(#6). This new word processing field is used for tracking general notes
regarding a particular code.
4) WKLD Code Notes field (#24) is a new word processing field used for
storing general notes regarding inactive or erroneous code(s) that is
automatically removed by the software.
5) LOINC Code field (#4) was changed to point to the LOINC CODE file
(#95.3).
6) The new Default LOINC Code field (#25) points to the LOINC CODE file
(#95.3). This field is used to identify the default LOINC code. This
field is usually used when the specimen is not clinically significant
(i.e. body fluids). 'L FOR LOINC' was removed from the set of codes in
field TYPE (#64.018,5).
LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9)
CPT modifier provides the means by which the reporting physician can
1) LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), DIVISION PARAMETERS field (#618) multiple
is a new field exported with this patch. These new fields are used to
customize the automated Venipuncture workload reporting functionality.
2) The new DIVISION PARAMETERS field (#.01) points to the INSTITUTION file
(#4). This field allows the LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9) to be
multi-divisional for Venipuncture workload reporting.
3) The new VENIPUNCTURE DEFAULT ACC AREA subfile (#618) points to the
indicate that a service or procedure that has been performed has been
ACCESSION file (#68). This new field is used by the Venipuncture workload
reporting background job to determine the accession area for the
INSTITUTION to be use for Venipuncture workload reporting.

NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates new enhancements for patch LR*5.2*263.
1. The LAB SERVICE package V. 5.2 must be installed. This is done by IRM.
2. PCE workload must be turned on for Laboratory. Someone other than the
LIM usually does this.
3. PCE PATIENT CARE ENCOUNTER Version 1.0 must be loaded on the system and
fully patched. This is done by IRM.

is automatically generated and sent once a day to the LMI Mail Group
4. The LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), WKLD STATS ON field (#17) must be set
to YES. This is usually done by the LIM.
5. The LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), PCE/VSIT ON field (#615) definition
entry should be defined other than OFF, the recommended entry is PCE/VSIT
ONLY. The VA FileMan Enter Edit [DIEDIT] option is used to defined the
PCE/VSIT ON field (#615). This is done by the LIM or IRM.
6. The LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), PCE DEFAULT PROVIDER field (#617)
should have a valid active provider identified. This is usually the Chief
containing information about the code(s) and the action(s) taken by the
of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (P&LMS). The PCE DEFAULT PROVIDER
field (#617) in the past was required for the background job to run. This
patch no longer requires a valid entry in this field. This field is used
whenever the ordering provider is not a valid active provider; the default
provider is substituted instead of the inactive provider. If the ordering
provider and the default provider are both invalid the order will be
marked and skipped. A report will be sent to the local mail group G.LMI
indicating the observed problem. This usually done by the LIM.
7. The LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), DEFAULT LAB OOS LOCATION (#.8) field
software.
must have a valid HOSPITAL LOCATION defined. This field is defined by
using the Create Laboratory OOS Locations [LR WKLD LOCATION] option. This
option will correctly name the DEFAULT LAB OOS location entry. This is
usually done by the LIM.
NOTE: This is a critical field entry. The CPT Workload capture will not be
performed if this field has no entry or the entry is correct. All DEFAULT
LAB OOS LOCATION names must begin with 'LAB DIV '
8. The MAILMAN SITE PARAMETERS file (#4.3), DEFAULT INSTITUTION field
(#217) must be defined. This is done by IRM.
* 9. The LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), DEFAULT BLOOD SPECIMEN field (#100)
must have a valid blood specimen defined. This is done by the LIM.
10. Each Accession area that should have workload collected must have the
accession area activated. The accession area is activated by using the
Turn on workload stats for accession area [LR WKLD STATS ON ACC AREA]
option. This is done by the LIM.
11. Each accession area can have a default Occasion of Service (OOS)
*3. The enhanced Laboratory workload software processes the workload data
location defined. This allows each accession area to be assigned a
specific DEFAULT OOS LOCATION. Multi-divisional sites most often use this.
The default OOS location can be defined by using the Edit ACC Area OOS
Locations [LR WKLD ACC AREA LOCATION] option. A DEFAULT OOS LOCATION
should be defined for each institution generating workload. This is done
by the LIM.
12. Every orderable test in LABORATORY TEST file (#60) must be linked to a
NATIONAL VA LAB CODE (also referred to as WKLD CODE or NLT codes). The
NATIONAL VA LAB CODE is linked by using the Semi-automatic Linking of file
in LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9), PCE DEFAULT PROVIDER field (#617) and LAB
60 to 64 [LR7O 60-64 AUTO] and Manual Linking of file 60 to 64 [LR7O 60-64
MANUAL] options. This is done by the LIM.
13. Each WKLD CODE linked in the above step must be assigned valid CPT
codes, these CPT codes will be used to report workload to the Patient Care
Encounter (PCE) workload API. This is done by using the Edit or Print WKLD
CODES [LR WKLD CODE EDIT PRINT] option. This is done by the LIM.
Software Logic:

After the file setup steps have been completed, the software logic of the
background job will use the above-defined fields. The software will scan
collected orders, extract all valid CPT codes, and pass the CPT workload
data to the PCE workload API. In addition, the software will also will
capture LMIP venipuncture workload for ALL patients without regard for
location type.
NOTE: Outpatient locations are entries in HOSPITAL LOCATION file (#44)
that have the TYPE field (#2) defined as; CLINIC, MODULE or OTHER.

The software uses the cross reference of
^LR(69,"AA",ORDER NUMBER, SPECIMEN) to determine what orders have been

Collection type has no bearing on CPT workload capture.
Both In-Patient and Outpatient receive LMIP venipuncture workload credit.
the default fields were not defined.
4. The ordering provider is validated as a current active provider. If the
ordering provider is not valid, the default provider will be used if the
default provider is valid. If neither of the providers is valid, the order
is marked appropriately and skipped.
5. CPT workload is only collected for Out-Patients based on HOSPITAL
LOCATION file (#44) that have the TYPE field (#2) defined as: CLINIC,
MODULE, or OTHER LOCATION. Venipuncture workload is NOT controlled by
HOSPITAL LOCATION type.
ENHANCEMENT
*6. This patch uses the INSTITUTION field (#3) of the HOSPITAL LOCATION
file (#44) to determine the institution that should receive CPT workload
credit. If the INSTITUTION field (#3) is not defined then the DEFAULT
INSTITUTION is used.
NOTE: See step 8 of the Setup instructions.
7. Each test is checked to ensure that it does not have the status of
CANCEL or NOT PERFORMED before CPT workload is processed.
8. Each test is checks the accession area's LAB OOS LOCATION. If defined

10. The NATIONAL VA LAB CODE field (#64) point to the WKLD CODE file
(#64). The software checks the WKLD CODE file (#64), CODE field (#18) for
CPT codes.
*11. This patch has changed the data dictionary definition of the CODE

field (#18) to a variable pointer. The patch installation will converts
all valid codes to the new file structure and reset the cross-references.
If the code is invalid, the code is removed. A note will be entered in the
WKLD CODE file (#64), WKLD CODE NOTES field (#24) indicating when the
removal occurred.
*12. Each CPT code is checked to make sure it is valid (active). Each CPT
code is checked for allowed modifiers. If there are multiple occurrences
of identical CPT codes, the software will automatically add the modifier

modifier is allowable.
13. The specimen DATE/TIME OF COLLECTION is used as the encounter date

*14. If an Order Test is marked as NOT PERFORMED by the laboratory and CPT
workload has already been sent to PCE, a background job will automatically
send delete CPT workload messages for that order to the PCE Workload API.
NOTE: If the Not Performed test is ultimately verified, no CPT workload is
sent after NOT PERFORMED delete has been sent.
15. The PCE API passes back to the Laboratory software application the
Registered Encounter rather than the user that started or tasked the PCE
encounter number used to store the PCE API passed information. It is
possible for one order to have multiple encounter number based on the
ACCESSION AREA's OOS definition. The PCE encounter number is displayed on
various order status screens in the Visit Number(s).

LABORATORY CURRENT PROCEDURAL TERMINOLOGY (CPT) CODES AND MODIFIERS PATCH
LR*5.2*263 INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE in PDF format is provided
with this patch. Please refer to this document for details and specific
instructions. The patch description does not include ALL implementation
considerations or complete file setup instructions.
************************
enhancement applies to both verifying by accession number or UID
1. *Patch LR*5.2*263 will automatically collects venipuncture workload
data identical to other types of collected workload data. Venipuncture
workload data will appear on workload reports broken down by standard
reporting criteria.
2. Originally, LMIP workload reporting did not include venipuncture as a
billable procedure; therefore, the software entered a manual style tally
of totals for the institution by day. Now LMIP workload does allow
venipuncture workload. This patch automatically captures venipuncture by
institution, by date, by WKLD CODE, and by event time and stores them in
(Universal Identification).
the WKLD DATA (#64.1) file. Certain data elements are required when
recording workload. One of the required data elements is accession area.
Therefore, some accession area must be utilized to satisfy the required
data field. This patch provides new fields that can be used to customize
data collection.
3. The venipuncture workload ACTUALLY indicates that the laboratory
obtained at least one specimen from the patient.
NOTE: THE SPECIMEN OBTAINED MAY NOT BE A BLOOD SPECIMEN. WHAT THE DEFAULT
CODES (venipuncture) INDICATES IS THAT THE LAB COLLECTED A SPECIMEN FOR
THIS PARTICULAR ORDER. ONLY 1 SPECIMEN COLLECTION WORKLOAD UNIT PER ORDER
IS CAPTURED REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL SPECIMENS COLLECTED FOR THE
ORDER.
4. Specimen Collection workload codes of Venipuncture Travel Time
[89341.0000] is the default code for Lab Collect (LC) and Immediate
Collect (I). Specimen Collection WKLD CODE of Venipuncture Outpatient
[89343.0000] is default code for Send Patient (SP).
*10. Batch data entry [LRSTUF] option is modified to capture LMIP workload
5. *Venipuncture workload is captured based on INSTITUTION field (#3) in
the HOSPITAL LOCATION file (#44) of the ordering location. If no
INSTITUTION is defined, the default institution defined by MAILMAN will be
used.
* There is a new field exported with this patch. The DIVISION PARAMETERS
field (#618) is a multiple in the LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9). There are
two fields in the DIVISION PARAMETERS field (#618) multiple that can be
used to customize the venipuncture workload collection.
- DIVISION PARAMETER field (#.01) points to the INSTITUTION file (#4).
This field will allow the LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9) to be
counts.
multi-divisional.
- VENIPUNCTURE DEFAULT ACC AREA field (#618) points to the ACCESSION
file (#68).
6. * The software will examine the ordering location for the INSTITUTION
that location is assigned. The software will look up in the LABORATORY
SITE file (#69.9), DIVISION PARAMETERS subfile (#) to get the ACCESSION
area to be used when storing venipuncture workload. The MAJ. SECT and the
SUBSECTION fields in WKLD DATA (#64.1) file will be set to ACCESSION area
defined.
Description:
Note: The default venipuncture ACCESSION area is HEMATOLOGY.
LAB DIVISION is CLINICAL PATHOLOGY
Date and Time is the SPECIMEN COLLECTION date/time.
The LAB TEST is the first collected test in the order.
7. * The Venipuncture workload capture assumes that there is an accession
area that begins with the letters 'HEM'. If there is no accession area
beginning with the letters 'HEM', then venipuncture default accession area
will be the accession area having the internal entry number of 10 in the
ACCESSION file (#68).
11. Results entry (batch) [LRMISTUF] is modified to capture LMIP workload
8. ** This patch creates a new multiple in the LABORATORY SITE file
(#69.9), DIVISION PARAMETERS field (#618). This new multiple will be used
to allow in the future, each institution to have the opportunity to
completely define separate laboratory parameter definitions. The first
entry in this multiple is VENIPUNCTURE DEFAULT ACC AREA field (#618). This
field will allow each institution to define what accession area
venipuncture workload should be assigned. If this field is not defined
then the default Hematology accession area outlined above will be used.
