============================================================================= Run Date: SEP 23, 2019 Designation: GMRC*3*143 Package : GMRC - CONSULT/REQUEST TRACKING Priority: Mandatory Version : 3 SEQ #123 Status: Released Compliance Date: OCT 24, 2019 ============================================================================= Subject: STANDARDIZED EPISODES OF CARE (SEOC) UI AND API UPDATES (V1.9) Category: - Informational Description: ============ ************************************************************************** This is an informational patch explaining development of the Standardized Episodes of Care (SEOC) application. NOTE: This patch is loaded to an internal VA hosting environment and will be available for use within the VA network. There is nothing that local sites can or need to do. ************************************************************************** This software is a reference database for managing care bundles for use by Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) and other VA systems. Services are grouped together within the SEOC system into bundles so that clinicians can add these bundles to patients consult records in a standardized fashion, reducing the amount of time spent manually entering consult instructions, and providing uniformity among the patient records and across facilities for how patient care is prescribed for similar complaints. These bundles group together one or more services that are preselected for different specialties to be added to the consult records. In addition, the clinician is provided with information regarding prescribing rules and preauthorization requirements, so they can make the most informed decisions regarding patient care. Additionally, SEOC data will be accessible outside of the VistA/Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) so that users of downstream applications will be accessing the same data, and SEOC descriptions, reducing the chances of discrepancies. Additional Information: -------------------- The software is installed in the VA Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) environment, and is accessible via the VA intranet. An API is made available for downstream applications to access SEOC data in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. ************************************************************************** Version 1.9 provides updates to the user interface layer for the SEOC database consistent with business requirements. An updated API layer is also included to support requirements of the UI. The Create Read Update Delete (CRUD) ser Interface (UI) for authorized SEOC Administrators will be enhanced based on business priority. Updates included in this build are: - the ability for both PRCT and REV to be included in the name of the SEOC as appropriate - the ability to view the SEOC PreCert VA Webpage which displays the table listing of SEOCs and their billing codes updated with live data - the abiltiy to sort the SEOCs in alphabetical order - the length of the total visits per payable service line has been increased from 3 to 4 digits - the ability to associate a frequency type to each frequency number is now enforced - the length of the frequency number has been increased to 3 digits - functionality has been modified to ensure extra spaces are no longer considered when checking for duplicate SEOC names - a list of acceptable characters has been implemented to ensure consistency throughout the API and UI - the method for monitoring activity within the application has been modified so users are not incorrectly logged out of the application for inactivity - a confirmation pop-up box has been added after selecting Activate to ensure the correct acitivation date was selected - the visits field at the payable service level has been modified to accept a null value - updates to core libraries and settings have been made to maintain consistency with VA standards - outstanding 508 and other defects have been remediated ************************************************************************** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: New Service Requests (NSRs): -------------------- N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: -------------------- N/A Test Sites: -------------------- N/A Software and Documentation Retrieval Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------- SEOC Software is installed on servers in the Infrastructure Operations (IO) environment, and no remote installation is required.
