| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
A site reported a patient safety issue with the alert information
In the interim, the alert text is being modified to alleviate some of the
confusion. In addition, some documentation updates are being made to
remind sites to enable both of the alerts to ensure the provider gets all
the appropriate information.
The NAME field (.01) and the MESSAGE TEXT field (.03) of the OE/RR
NOTIFICATIONS file (#100.9) are being modified for alerts 22 and 25
(internal entry numbers for the two alerts). Alert 22 is being changed
from IMAGING RESULTS to IMAGING RESULTS, NON CRITICAL. Alert 25 is being
displayed when imaging results, either abnormal or not, are completed.
changed from ABNORMAL IMAGING RESULTS to ABNL IMAGING RESLT, NEED ATTN.
The change is being made using a post-installation routine. The person
installing the patch will receive a MailMan message with a subject of
'OE/RR NOTIFICATIONS ALERT NAME UPDATES' when the update is complete.
This patch requires a change in the Radiology/Nuclear Medicine V. 5.0
package. The documentation changes to update the notification name will
be included in a separate documentation release.
The problem stems from the fact that the alerts can be disabled and, if
Please note: the post-install routine, ORY268, will be removed in a
future patch.

information.
Problem:
=========
The Radiology Package currently always sends the following alert
notifications to OERR/CPRS, conditioned on the type of result (normal,
abnormal, amended - normal or abnormal)
22 - IMAGING RESULTS (contains normal results)
25 - ABNORMAL IMAGING RESULTS (contains abnormal results)
53 - IMAGING RESULTS AMENDED (contains both normal and abnormal)
Based on the parameter settings, some of these alerts may not display.
Due to the text of the alert subject, this may be misleading for the
provider.
Solution:
=========
The 'imaging results' notification may refer to both normal and
abnormal results. The abnormal results are non-critical. The agreement
between the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) Clinical
Workgroup and the Radiology subject matter expert is to modify the
text of alerts 22 and 25 to reduce the confusion. Alert 22 will
become 'IMAGING RESULTS NON CRITICAL'. Alert 25 will become 'ABNL

a new service request to outline the desired behavior.
