POST-INSTALLATION PROCESS
=========================================================================
The post-install routine will stuff the facility ID of the installing
site into the HL7 APPPLICATION PARAMTER file for the two parameters being
sent with the package. It will also set the DAS turnoff date in the
new parameter DENTV DRM DAS TURNOFF to 10/31.2004.
The post-install will also re-index some entries for the "AXMIT"
cross-reference in file 228.2 (used by the HL7 interface) due to
potential issues with the Create Date being set as a string.

4 Set up Weekly Scheduled Task
========================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to schedule the Dental HL7 Batch option to run once a week. The
VIE team is responsible for scheduling communication jobs that use the
VIE. As such, they have assigned SUNDAY as the day that all VAMCs should
schedule this job to run. The time that the job runs on Sunday is left
up to the individual sites. On Monday evening, the VIE team will batch
all the dental HL7 messages received from all VAMCs into a single file
which will be sent to the AAC for processing.

5 Set up a Historical One-Time Scheduled Task
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dental Encounter System (DES) has been gathering data since Oct 2000
in file 228. Dental VAHQ would like all that data downloaded to the new
DES database at the AAC. The amount of data at some sites might be
extensive. The VIE team and Capacity Management prefer that an option be
made available to the sites to move that data to
a CD instead of using bandwidth on the VA WAN for moving those HL7
historical messages to the AAC. Thus we have provided an option for the
B. Billing awareness changes were made for the procedure/diagnosis
site to schedule at a time that is convenient for the site.
To estimate the size of the file that will be generated, perform a
Fileman Inquire on file 228.2. The number of records will give you a
ballpark estimate as to the size of the Historical file - each
transaction will take just under 1K when formatted as an HL7 message.
So, a record count of 55,024 will produce a file of < 55,000K or just
under 55meg. Not all records will be sent via the Historical batch of
course, since all records created since the installation of DENT*1.2*38
will be sent via the Vista Interface Engine and the weekly process.
data being sent to PCE.
NOTE: The historical CD is expected at the AAC within one month of the
release of patch 40.
Here are the instructions for setting up a one-time Scheduled Task for
the DENTVHL PROCESS HISTORIC option [menu text: Process one-time
historical extract (Dental)]. Please note that this option will generate
a HFS file with a name like DENTV_HISTORICAL_<site#>.TXT. The file will
be located in the directory as defined
in your Kernel Site Parameters. You can easily see what this value is
from the programmer's prompt as shown in this example:
VAH>W $$PWD^%ZISH
c:\hfs\_TO CD\
Once the historical option has completed, you will need to copy that file
to a CD. You will then mail that CD to the AAC. If you choose to FTP
the file from your VMS system to another network server, then please
remember to FTP the file in ASCII (or text) mode. Here is the mailing
address for that CD:

6 Add Members to Mail Group
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
messages will be combined into batches that are compiled weekly and
An new mail group has been added called DENTV HL7 MESSAGES. Please add
members to this mail group. These should be individuals who will be
responsible for taking action if the acknowledgement messages that come
back from the AAC which contain error codes. These problems need to be
addressed in the VistA DES database. Those transactions, once fixed,
will need to be flagged for retransmission. A good candidate for a
member would be the dental administrator for DRM in the Dental Service.
This is an example of adding a member to this mail group. There are
sent to the AAC using the Vista interface engine. Batches are
several Kernel options that allow the adding of members to a mail group
including using Fileman. This example just shows one of those options'

B. Historical Dental Encounter data (transactions filed before DRM patch
38 was installed) will be sent to the AAC via a CD. An option is
available to create these HL7 messages and put them into a file on

is defaulted to 10/31/2004.
