| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
The VistA Fee Basis Package will be replaced by a new application in a
file (#52), and the local VistA FEE BASIS PHARMACY INVOICE file (#162.1)
for fee basis patients. Accessing the FEE BASIS PHARMACY INVOICE file
(#162.1) by Outpatient Pharmacy is provided by Integration Agreement (IA)
203. With the VistA Fee Basis Package migrating to a new platform, the Fee
Basis Encapsulation project is replacing IA 203 with IA 4395. IA 4395 will
provide Outpatient Pharmacy with the fee basis prescription count and cost
data either from the local VistA Fee Basis file or from the Fee
Replacement system. This will isolate the Outpatient Pharmacy from future
changes as the fee replacement system is implemented. This patch will
modify the Nightly Management Data Compile Job [PSO MGMT NIGHTLY COMPILE]
phased approach. The new application will be hosted by the Health
option, to make a call to the new API, $$RXSUM^FBRXUTL(), documented by IA
4395 that provides the fee basis prescription count and cost for a given
date.
As the VistA Fee Basis Package is moving towards a National database, the
new API may also return a string value of
"-1^exception_number^exception_text", indicating an exception has
occurred. To accommodate this exception, this patch will also generate a
new mail message to the holders of the PSORPH security key. Following is
an example of this mail message:
Administration Center, which is located at Denver, CO. A future phase of
Subj: FEE Basis Cost Data - Incomplete Nightly Job [#156131]

Fee Replacement system.

The Cost of Prescriptions [PSO MGMT REPORT RX COSTS] option and the Cost
of Prescriptions [PSO MGMT MONTHLY RX COSTS] option, provides the daily
and monthly prescription cost report. While testing this patch it was
observed that the average participating pharmacy prescription cost under
the column heading "AVG PARTIC PHARM RX", was incorrect and displays a
zero value even with data present. This patch fixes this problem.
The Nightly Management Data Compile Job [PSO MGMT NIGHTLY COMPILE] option
is scheduled to run nightly. This option populates the OUTPATIENT PHARMACY
MANAGEMENT DATA file (#59.12) with cost related data from the PRESCRIPTION
