PCE Device Interface module local array structures exported with PCE.

Conventions

An Error Suspension file records data that fails the verification process
or if there are errors in storing.

1. In listings of valid values [1 | 0 | null]
1  denotes TRUE  or YES
0  denotes FALSE or NO
null denotes VALUE NOT SUPPLIED BY DATA CAPTURE APPLICATION

2. The PCE Device Interface uses a locally name-spaced array (called
LOCAL in this document ) with the following gross structure to
receive data from an external device. Developers should use an
array in their namespace to represent the LOCAL array. It is
possible that data from multiple providers was captured for the
encounter. The ENCOUNTER node records information about the
"main" provider. It is mandatory that this person be identified
in the ENCOUNTER node. Data will NOT be moved to VISTA if such a
provider is not identified on the ENCOUNTER node. The remaining
nodes in the LOCAL( array [VITALS, DIAGNOSIS, PROCEDURE,
PROBLEM... ] are specific to the particular PROVIDER associated
with the data on that node. If the provider is unknown, (for
example, the identity of the nurse who took the vitals was not
captured on a scanned encounter form) the provider subscript
<PROVIDER IEN> may be set to zero except provider is required for
PROBLEM. This is a concession to reality, and should not be
encouraged. If a provider CAN be identified, they SHOULD be
identified.

Locally name-spaced array:
LOCAL("DIAGNOSIS/PROBLEM",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("PROBLEM",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("SOURCE")
LOCAL("ENCOUNTER")
LOCAL("DIAGNOSIS",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("PROCEDURE",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("PROVIDER",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("IMMUNIZATION",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("SKIN TEST",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("EXAM",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("PATIENT ED",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("HEALTH FACTORS",<PROVIDER IEN>)
LOCAL("VITALS",<PROVIDER IEN>)
Vitals are not processed by PCE but are passed to the
Vitals/Measurement package.
LOCAL("LOCAL",
This data doesn PCE and will not be
processed by PCE, but it may be used to pass local data
to a local process (see protocol for local data
processing).

3. The Encounter and Source nodes are required; the rest are
optional.

4. All entries in the local array are resolved to internal values as
defined below.

5. By convention; use a DUZ = .5 (the POSTMASTER) as a default when

one cannot be determined. This is only for tasked jobs on some
systems.

6. The data in the ENCOUNTER, PROCEDURE, and DIAGNOSIS/ PROBLEM or
DIAGNOSIS nodes are the minimal set for capturing workload
starting 10/1/96. The data in the rest of the nodes with the
associated providers build on the clinically relevant data set
and are not used for workload

7. While ENCOUNTER, PROCEDURE, and DIAGNOSIS/PROBLEM or DIAGNOSIS
values are required to capture workload and generate a bill, they
may not be present in every data set passed through this event
point. For example, data on Vitals may be collected by a Nurse
and passed through the event point for storage independent of
other data associated with the encounter. Because of this, these
are NOT required values in this version.

8. If there is a different (ancillary) hospital location for this
patient encounter, you have to do a separate encounter. Separate
calls for each hospital location are required.


Required Input

LOCAL(        LOCAL( is a local array as defined in the remainder
of this document. Developers should use an array in
their namespace to represent the LOCAL array; e.g.,
IBDFPCE.

Result returned

PXCASTAT      1 = event processing occurred and the data was
passed to DHCP.
0 = event processing could not occur. There is data
in LOCAL("ERROR" explaining why.

LOCAL("ERROR" as described below. Denotes Errors. Data associated
with the error was not filed. The node does not
exist if errors do not occur.
LOCAL("ERROR",<NODE>,<PROVIDER
IEN>,<i>,<PIECE>)="Free text message^REJECTED VALUE"
Where     <NODE>      ::=  "ENCOUNTER" | "VITALS" |
"DIAGNOSIS" | "PROCEDURE" |
"PROBLEM" | rest of list|
<PROVIDER IEN>   ::=    internal entry number of
provider. Is 0 (ZERO) for ENCOUNTER
and SOURCE
<i>   ::=  sub-entry 'i' for that provider
Is 0 (ZERO) for ENCOUNTER, SOURCE
and PROVIDER
<PIECE>    ::=    $P( selector in
LOCAL(<NODE>,<PROVIDER IEN>,<i>)
that failed.
The value of <PIECE> may be 0
(ZERO) if a  problem is found that
does not relate to a single
specific piece.

LOCAL("WARNING"   as described below. Denotes problems with the
data that did not prevent processing. Processing
continued after the warnable condition was detected.
The node does not exist if warning, conditions do
not occur. Warnings do NOT affect the value of
PXCASTAT.

LOCAL("WARNING",<NODE>,<PROVIDER IEN>,<i>,<PIECE>)
="Free text message^QUESTIONABLE VALUE"
Where     <NODE>      ::=  "ENCOUNTER" | "VITALS" |
"DIAGNOSIS" | "PROCEDURE" |
"PROBLEM"
<PROVIDER IEN>   ::=    internal entry number of
provider. Is 0 (ZERO) for ENCOUNTER
and SOURCE
<i>   ::=  sub-entry 'i' for that provider
Is 0 (ZERO) for ENCOUNTER, SOURCE,
and PROVIDER
<PIECE>    ::=    $P( selector in
LOCAL(<NODE>,<PROVIDER IEN>,<i>) in
question.
The value of <PIECE> may be 0
(ZERO) if a  problem is found that
does not relate to a single
specific piece.


Entry Point for processing the data in the foreground

FOREGND^PXCA(.LOCAL,.PXCASTAT)     All data for the event driver is to
be stored in the local array, LOCAL(, in the
proper format by the source prior to calling
this entry point. This entry point validates and
verifies the data and then if there are no
validation errors, the data is processed in the
foreground. Computation by the source will not
continue until all processing is completed by
any and all 'down-stream' protocol event points.

Entry Point for processing the data in the background on the Host

BACKGND^PXCA(.LOCAL,.PXCASTAT)     All data for the event driver is to
be stored in the local array, LOCAL(, in the
proper format by the source prior to calling
this entry point. This entry point validates and
verifies the data and then if there are no
validation errors, the data is processed in the
background via TASKMAN. Computation by the
source may continue.

Entry Point for data validation

VALIDATE^PXCA(.LOCAL)  The data in the local  array, LOCAL(, is
validated and verified, but is not processed.
Use of this entry point by your application will
result in the data being validated twice, since
it is validated prior to processing by the
FOREGND^PXCAEP and BACKGND^PXCAEP entry points.
If a piece of data cannot be validated, an entry
is placed in the LOCAL("ERROR" node as described
above

Protocol for local data processing

PXCA DATA EVENT        Other developers who wish to use any of the data
in the local array, including local additions,
can attach a protocol that calls their routines
to the item multiple of this protocol. This
protocol is activated if there are no errors in
the data validation and after PCE has processed
the data.
