patients. When the software displays a profile it uses the field and
cross-references to gather the prescriptions to be listed. If a corrupted
node pointed to a prescription for a different patient, the wrong
prescription would display on the profile. In some cases, a prescription
may have been discontinued because a Date of Death or an Admission was
entered for the patient with a corrupt cross-reference. This patch
ensures that all bad entries in the sub-file and corresponding "A",

appropriate reinstated. The patch installer should forward the mail
message to the Pharmacy Application Coordinator, or the appropriate
Outpatient Pharmacy Personnel, for their review and correction. It will
send summary information to G.PL2 PATCH TRACKING group on FORUM so that
counts of bad nodes by site can be collected. This patch will also scan

will check if a corresponding entry exists in the PHARMACY PATIENT file
(#55). The software will provide a count of missing entries in a separate

PATIENT file (#55), during non-peak hours or when the number of pharmacy
users on the system is at a minimum any time after completion of this
job.
A subsequent patch will be released to provide additional safeguards in
the event that the cross-reference gets corrupted in the future.
