| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The DD for the CPT file (81) includes the following
node which causes the CPT code description to be displayed when a lookup is
done on the CPT file:
^DD(81,0,"ID",2)="W " ",$P(^(0),U,2) I $D(SRSITE) D ^SROCPT"
Part 1: An agreement is established for Surgery to call ^DD(81,0,"ID",2).
This DD node will remain in place to assist with CPT lookups from within the
Surgery package. Surgery will be responsible for support of the conditional
call to ^SROCPT.
Part 2: In the routine SROCPT, the DESCRIPTION multiple is accessed (READ
only). Surgery has permission to read the DESCRIPTION sub-fields. Each
description for a CPT code is stored in ^ICPT(X,"D",Y,0) where X is the
internal entry for the CPT code and Y is the internal entry for the
description. The Surgery package loops through ^ICPT(X,"D",Y,0) to get all
the descriptions for a CPT code.
