============================================================================= Run Date: JUL 02, 2019 Designation: GMRC*3*131 Package : GMRC - CONSULT/REQUEST TRACKING Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 3 SEQ #114 Status: Released Compliance Date: JUL 12, 2019 ============================================================================= Subject: CONSULT TOOLBOX 1.9.0044 DEFECT REMEDIATION Category: - Informational Description: ============ ************************************************************************** This is an informational patch explaining changes in Consult Toolbox. NOTE: This patch is loaded on individual PC workstations via SCCM software update push from local/regional OIT. There is nothing that local sites can or need to do besides communicate changes to the clinical users. No code changes were made to the Consult application to accommodate these enhancements. ************************************************************************** Version 1.9.0044 modifies the Consult Toolbox application as described below: 1. Modified the text of the Launch DST dialog to "Mission Act Requires the use of DST to complete the consult, when clinically appropriate" 2. Remediated the defect related to the DST window moving behind all open windows after selecting the Provisional diagnosis 3. Remediated the defect related to Consult Toolbox not auto displaying; previously, when the CPRS Window opens (e.g. Add Comment to Consult or Receive Consult), Toolbox automatically opens it's right click menu (auto display) 4. Remediated the defect related to patients with a CAN Score of 75; this particular CAN Score was not placed into the correct range when displayed on the Admin Triage page, it now does 5. Remediated the defect related to incorrect comments from the Receive Consult dialog; the error was when a radio button is selected, the text corresponding to that selection is NOT displayed; the fix placed the selected radio button text into the Consult Comment 6. Remediated the defect related to DST not being disabled when CTB is Disabled; previously when Toolbox is disabled in the CPRS Tools submenu, only the ConsultToolbox was closed; now when the disable option is selected both ConsultToolbox and DSTLauncher are closed (the windows processes are ended) 7. Remediated the defect related to the CPRS Order a Consult Window being hidden behind the Orders Menu when User Closes the Launch DST Pop Up Box 8. Remediated the defect related to the Link DST window (that includes a button to add the information retrieved from DST to a consult note) does not display after the DST browser is closed This software was created by the Atlanta VA Medical Center in response to a need to manage the process of consult management. During the life of a consult, there are prescribed steps of actions to be taken, and there is a need to be able track these steps at an individual patient level. Additionally, there is a need to be able to understand the overall status of consult management at a macro level, and identify specific services needing attention or resources. Without opening and reading a patient medical record, it is difficult to identify which patients have had which scheduling steps completed. This software does several things. First, it makes it very easy for staff to document actions completed quickly and consistently. Second, it uses consistent verbiage to document these steps. Third, it eliminates the need to take a second action or make a separate entry to track scheduling steps. Fourth, this consistent verbiage allows software analysis of records without needing to have software changes to VistA or CPRS. A separate process using corporate data warehouse queries and reports allows creation of views showing such things as patients who have not had first call, second call, scheduling letter sent or how much time has passed between these events. Together, these allow tracking and managing consults without the need to keep a separate list or other workflow to know which consults need attention. Additional Information: ----------------------- This software watches keyboard and mouse activity, and comes to life when certain conditions occur. 1. It only activates when the currently active windows title "Receive Consult", "Add Comment to Consult" or "Discontinue Consult." Otherwise nothing happens 2. When the user initiates a trigger event when either of these windows have the focus, then depending on the open window a menu appears for the user to select the appropriate action, then the software inserts the appropriate text into the comment box. 3. The defined trigger is a right mouse click in the supported CPRS consult actions.
