| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This is the second follow up patch for Outpatient Pharmacy Clinical
released, total un-released, and total cancelled copays.
2. A summary Mailman message will be sent to Management for their
review. It can be cut and pasted into a .TXT file.
3. A detailed report by Veteran and fill number can be produced on
demand by entering D RPT^PSOCIDC3 at the programmers prompt.
4. To check the status of the COPAY CANCEL background job while it is
running, then type from the direct programmers prompt the command
1. For only edited prescriptions ordered prior to patch PSO*7*143 being
D STATUS^PSOCIDC1.
5. If you need to stop the COPAY CANCEL background job for any reason,
then from the direct programmers prompt, type the command D STOP^PSOCIDC1.
installed, the routine that passes information from Outpatient Pharmacy to
CPRS was passing an extra value and was not passing the Combat Veteran
indicator. An edit to days supply, quantity, etc. on a prescription
results in a background transmission of data to CRPS. This type of data
was passed and updated in CRPS correctly. Because CPRS does not
currently update SC/EI's for edited prescriptions, there were no adverse
affects. However, Outpatient Pharmacy sends all data for consistency, and
this was corrected. There are no associated remedy tickets for this
Indicator Data Capture (CIDC) patch PSO*7*143. The first follow-up patch
change.
2. A dollar sign ($) was being displayed for exempt from copay
prescriptions, and it was being displayed up until the prescription was
released. Also, 'COPAY' was being printed on the label for this type
of prescription.
3. Copays were erroneously being charged for non-service connected (NSC)
prescriptions fills that had an environmental indicator flagged as
"Yes". And, copays were charged for some service connected (SC) <50%
was PSO*7*219, and the follow-up patches were split into two patches in
prescriptions, and this was due to a "RX COPAY STATUS REVIEW NEEDED"
Mailman message being sent instead of prompting the user for the SC/EI
information. Patch PSO*7*219 corrected this issue, but PSO*7*226 cancels
the erroneously billed copay(s) as well as restores the copay related
fields in PRESCRIPTION file (#52).
When installing this patch, the 'copay correction' portion of this patch
is optional. Each site can determine if they would be better suited to
run this automated process or correct them manually. If you answer N (No)
to running the copay correction process and change your mind later, then
order to quickly get the issues resolved by patch PSO*7*219 into the field
have your IRM run ^PSOCIDC1 from the programmers prompt. Please keep in
mind that by not running the copay correction process that those
prescriptions where the IBQ node was not stored correctly will continue to
generate a copay until the fill is copied or renewed.
Technical Description:
======================
The following correlates to each sequence in the Functional Description:
immediately.
1. In background processing, the PSOHLSN2 routine passes information from
Outpatient Pharmacy to CPRS when orders are created, edited, copied or
renewed from backdoor order entry. Even though CPRS does not
currently update SC/EI information for edited prescriptions, Outpatient
Pharmacy passes them for consistency. The code that handles pre-CIDC
edited prescriptions passed an extra value and did not pass the Combat
Veteran indicator. Because CPRS does not update SC/EI's for edited
prescriptions, there were no adverse affects. A change was made to pass
the Combat Veteran indicator and not pass the extra value.
2. Because a value denoting copay was allowed to remain in the COPAY
TRANSACTION TYPE field (#105) for exempt from copay prescriptions, the
$ sign was incorrectly being displayed and "COPAY was being printed on
the prescription label. Modifications were made to eliminate the display
of the $ sign for exempt from copay fills which in turn eliminates the
printing of 'COPAY' on the label. Also, modifications were made to
eliminate this value for NSC and SC<50% prescriptions for all affected
fills finished between the installation date of patch PSO*7*143 until
present. This patch re-examines the PRESCRIPTION file (#52) for any NSC
and SC<50% prescription that has an ICD node and does not have an IBQ
Functional Description:
node. Using the SC/EI answers stored on the ICD node, the IBQ node is
defined and the COPAY TRANSACTION TYPE field (#105) is defined
appropriately.
3. For those prescriptions that were erroneously billed a copay from
the installation of PSO*7*143 until present, this patch evaluates any
prescription that was billed, that has an ICD node, but does not have an
IBQ node. Using the SC/EI answers stored on the ICD node, the IBQ node is
defined. Then, if a yes answer is defined for any SC or EI, IB is
notified to cancel copay for the fill.
=======================
This patch prompts the user during installation when to run the copay
correction process. The job name for this process is 'CANCEL COPAY'. It
provides summary Mailman messages, and a detailed Results Report by
Veteran that can be run from Programmer mode. Also, a Query Status of Job
function as well as a Stop Job Command function is provided. See the
reports and samples section below for details and images of these
features.
This patch PSO*7*226 corrects the following:

* See the sample section below for images of these features.
1. The CANCEL COPAY process will produce a summary mail message of its
findings and display instructions on how to print a detailed report by
Veteran. This MailMan message will be sent to all users that hold the
'PSO COPAY' security key and the installer of the patch. This message
contains results by year and 30, 60, and 90 day fills for total
