As of the release date of this software, there is no national solution to
implement a laboratory electronic HL7 standard interface to a facility or
controlled by VHA DIRECTIVE 99-053, titled VISTA BLOOD BANK SOFTWARE.
other entity outside the VA wide area network. National communication
security concerns are still being debated by the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) and are awaiting resolution. At present, a VA medical center,
which intends to utilize this software in conjunction with an interface to
a commercial reference laboratory or other non-VA information system entity,
will need to coordinate with the vendor an acceptable communication method.
Any implementation will need to be approved by the facility and VISN
Information Security Officer (ISO) and meet current VA security requirements
for external electronic connections. See VHA Directive 6212, Security of
External Electronic Connections and VHA Directive 6210, Automated Information
Systems (AIS) Security for additional information and guidance. Additional
security information may be obtained from the Health Information Security
Service (HISS) web page at http://vaww.domain.ext/miss.
Implementation of a HL7 messaging interface between the VA VistA Laboratory
package and a non-VA information system consists basically of three parts:
- VistA Laboratory LEDI II software.
- certified communication software and hardware
- non-VA information system capable of sending and receiving laboratory HL7
order and result messages.
========================================
All three must be functional to utilize the capabilities of this LEDI II
software patch. The implementation,setup, and configuration of vendor provided
hardware and software is NOT addressed by this documentation. Consult the
vendor provided documentation and instructions to interface to the VistA
Laboratory package.
NOIS HUN-1100-21862 reported discrepancies in patient names due to Network
Health Exchange not maintaining name changes. This patch removes the use
of the Network Health Exchange package to lookup patient information
(patient name, patient identifier and date of birth). The link in file
REFERRAL PATIENT (#67), field Patient Name (#3) to file VAMC NETWORK
PATIENT (#537010) is removed as a variable pointer.
