| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
NOTE: This patch addresses the Centralized Mail Outpatient Pharmacy /
Data Dictionary not installed; Partial DD/File does not exist.
1) Problem: Internet ftp processes are sometimes interrupted or
terminated in the middle of transmission leaving partial files deposited
on the target system. These are not the full files and if processed will
result in incomplete data sets.
Resolution:
Code has been put in place to test the integrity of the received patient
Department of Defense (CMOP/DoD) functionalities. Facilities will see no
data files and the sequencing of segments within the files. Files failing
the tests are not processed.
2) Problem: Criteria of checking the integrity of the patient orders
was coded in the original 2.3.1 HL7 transmissions but was dropped when
Vitria Businessware started performing the conversions to HL7 2.1.
Resolution:
Code has been put in place to perform the integrity checking of the
impact on their systems.
patient orders in the current HL7 2.1 format as received from Vitria
Businessware.
3) Problem: The VA internal wan between Leavenworth and Charleston
would drop causing the files to be lost that were to be delivered to the
DoD "Outbox" for their pickup.
Resolution:
Code has been put in place that tests the success of the placement of the
files and if they were not placed they are stored for later placement
when the wide area network is back in proper operation.
4) Problem: The naming of the DoD files contains a Julian date with
a four digit time. There have been occasions when the time had no
seconds, or multiples of 10 seconds. The trailing zeros representing
seconds were being dropped.
Resolution:
!! NOTE: !! For health care facilities that do not have the CMOP MASTER
The code has been modified to insure trailing zeros are included.
5) Problem: The resending of release data to the sites generates an
undefined error.
Resolution:
A variable named AGNCH was corrected to be AGNCY.
6) Problem: The date transmitted element in DoD $XMIT segments is in
DATABASE file (#552.4), this installation will generate the following
HL7 format while transmissions from VA facilities is in a FileMan
(FM)format. This causes bad date data in the CMOP host files.
Resolution:
The DoD VistA import software has been modified to convert the HL7 format
to FM format before handing the files to the CMOP host software.
7) Problem: Patch PSX*2*38 introduced an 'E' index on the RX INDEX
field (#40) of the RX NUMBER multiple field (#1) in the CMOP MASTER
error that can be ignored.
DATABASE file (#552.4). The presence of this new index caused confusion
for FileMan and it would do lookups first in the 'E' index instead of the
'B' index of the RX NUMBER multiple. This would present the user entries
other than what they were looking for.
Resolution: The 'E' index is to be removed from the file.
NOTE: If a CMOP has modified the RX INDEX field (#40) locally they will
need to be able to re-do their modifications after the installation. This
installation will remove the field entirely and then put it back with the
official distribution definition without an 'E' index.
