| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch addresses several issues that have come up at VAMC stations
calculated ROES eligibility of SC or COM.
1. RMPFDE2 - This routine was modified to allow Prosthetics and
Sensory Aids Service(PSAS) users to exit the 'Display ROES3
Eligibility Requests[RMPFDE2]' option by entering '^' as well as the
<Q>uit. The print of the eligibility request list to a slave printer
was not working and has now been fixed.
2. RMPFDE3 - 'Eligibility' was added to the VistA message text.
Catastrophically disabled veterans in Priority Group 4 have
been added to the selectable eligibilities.
- The "Date of Death" was not being transmitted consistently.
3. RMPFRPC0 - In the original release priority groups 1 and 2 were
omitted from the message transmission because the priority group
was not obtained before the determination of SC or COM eligibility.
This oversight has been corrected. Also, in the pop-up message
from PSAS, the eligibility request date, the requesting user and the
date action was taken were added.
4. RMPFRPC1 - A section was added to remove special characters
(@#%?&/\) from the values that are used in the URL. Also, the
failure of the 'Date of Death' to be transmitted to the DDC has

been corrected.
5. The ROES 3 CPRS Tools option executable(ROES3.exe) was modified
to:
-Correct the spelling of 'priority'.
-The title of the selection box was changed to 'You must select a
Proposed Eligibility', and a selection was made mandatory.
-A splash screen was added to the executable to help alleviate the
problem of the application not getting focus in front of the CPRS
screens. Circumstances may still exist where the CPRS screen has

Audiogram screen.
-The portion of the module that was used by developers to lookup a
patient was removed. That section was not meant to be used by
field stations.

Functional Change
=================
The Black Hills Health Care System reported a problem with the ROES3.exe
application causing excessive CPU usage on the desktop systems. The
problem was isolated to the part of the application that waited for
Internet Explorer to exit and then automatically pulled information from
the clipboard and formatted it as text for CPRS Notes. This
functionality is removed by this patch. By removing this 'listener', the
runs from the CPRS Tools menu, as opposed to the ROES3DeskTop.exe
user will no longer be able to paste the 'formatted' order information
into a note in CPRS. Users will continue to have the ability to highlight
the order information and copy and paste the unformatted information. The
DDC is looking into more efficient ways to restore this functionality in a
future enhancement if it is still desired by the user community.

application.
problem:
When a '#' sign was returned by the ADD^VADPT call in the patient's phone
number, it created a break in the URL that was used in establishing a
browser session to the ROES 3.0 web application from CPRS Tools. This
usually showed up as an eligibility error at the DDC.
resolution:
Routine RMPFRPC1 was modified to screen out any special characters from
the values used by the URL in ROES3.exe. The executable also has an added
function that verifies the removal of those characters.
Issues addressed in this patch are:
SBY-0404-30089
problem:
When the user attempted to print the ROES 3 Eligibility Request list to
a slave printer, it produced an error at LIST^RMPFDE2 and didn't print.
resolution:
When the print routine was updated, the slave printer part was overlooked.
This problem has been fixed in routine RMPFDE2.

WRJ-0104-10319 and MAC-0304-61626
problem:
ROES3 message boxes or the application itself were coming up behind the
CPRS screens.
resolution:
A splash screen was added to the ROES3.exe application and it will give
focus to the ROES 3.0 application in most instances. Situations may
exist where other applications have priority.
