| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch is in response to Item #22 in the Rossio Report. In the area
of Means Test (MT) Deficiencies, Item #22 required that the Veterans
Health Administration (VHA) identify best practices for means testing and
acquiring veterans' signatures at the local level and explore the
promulgation of these best practices throughout the system. This patch
incorporates into the Patient Care Encounter software an Enrollment
Application Systems (EAS) API which will inidcate whether to block the
checkout of an existing appointment through the PCE menu or not. This
blocking is based on the veterans current means test status.
