$TXT Created by VISTA-LOAD-AITC-6.AAC.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Thursday, 03/28/19 at 12:15 ============================================================================= Run Date: APR 08, 2019 Designation: GMRC*3*112 Package : GMRC - CONSULT/REQUEST TRACKING Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 3 SEQ #102 Status: Released Compliance Date: APR 13, 2019 ============================================================================= Subject: FIX CONTROL CHARACTERS IN CONSULT MESSAGES Category: - Routine Description: ============ Associated patches: (v)GMRC*3.0*106 <<= must be installed The Community Care Referrals and Authorizations (CCR&A) application is an enterprise-wide system used by Community Care (CC) staff to automatically generate referrals and authorizations for all Veterans receiving care in the community. Clinical and VA CC staff located at VA Medical Centers, Outpatient Clinics, Community Based Outpatient Clinics, and VISN offices use this application. The CCR&A solution is an integral component of the VA Community Care Information Technology (IT) architecture that allows Veterans to receive care from Community Providers. This patch builds upon the HL7 processes created in patches GMRC*3.0*99 and GMRC*3.0*106. It includes a critical fix to the HL7 message processing, where control characters in the consult data were creating problems and putting the logical link in an infinite loop. This fix strips out those control characters so that the consult can be sent without incident and the link integrity maintained.

Backout and rollback Procedure: ------------------------------- In order to back out this patch, sites must use the KIDS option to Backup a Transport Global after loading the patch. They can then restore the routines from the backup message. If this option is not used, then backing out is not possible. In the event of a catastrophic failure, the Facility CIO may make the decision to back-out the patch. It is imperative that you have performed a backup of the routines included in this patch prior to installation. The back-out plan is to restore the routines from the backup created. No data was modified by this patch installation and, therefore, no rollback strategy is required.
