NPI AND EFFECTIVE DATE/TIME    ICR (7474)

The IAM group agrees to conditional approval of this
ICR request. The condition is that WebVRAM commits in the future to further
integration with IAM APIs to perform create and update of the remote sites NEW
PERSON (#200) file record.

Approval granted pending use of IAM APIs in the future: WebVRAM is requesting
an ICR to modify the contents of VistA file #200.042 and field #41.99 from
file #200 with FileMan.

WebVRAM is a TELEHEALTH application that assists its users with accessing
VistA areas outside of the main VistA area the user is associated with.
WebVRAM copies user profile information from the user's Home VistA area to the
Remote VistA area they are attempting to access.  A WebVRAM user may only use
the application to access VistA areas they have been assigned to by their
business unit.

The WebVRAM product team was approached by the Pharmacists group in Tennessee
about the need to use the PDMP Query in CPRS to maintain reporting compliance
for controlled substances.  In order to use the PDMP Query in CPRS the
pharmacist / provider is required to have a combination of a valid NPI, NPI
effective date, and person class.   WebVRAM currently has the ability to
update the person class at the remote VistA area and would need to update
field #41.99 from file #200 and file #200.042 to provide the effective date
for the NPI.  WebVRAM would use the DDR FILER RPC to modify the file contents.
