This release, developed in Java technology, contains Enrollment System Modernization (ESM) Phase 3 enhancements to support Enrollment System Community Care (ESCC), Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM), and ES Sustainment. ES 5.15.1 was successfully deployed on Sunday, March 21, 2021. The following functionality is updated in this ES 5.15.1 release: ES 5.14.1 included enhancements that identified and allowed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine from VA by adding a new value of "Department of Homeland Security" to the "Other Federal Agency" field within the Person Search > Eligibility > Eligibility Edit screen. ES 5.15.1 adds twenty (20) federal agencies to the "Other Federal Agency" field so that employees from those agencies may also receive the COVID-19 vaccine from VA. For messaging with VistA, corresponding abbreviated values are added to the VA-Specific Patient Information (ZPD) Segment.

Resolution: Updated code to load the names on the person identity traits conditionally when it is null or empty. If the "person.getNames" exists then it will not be reloaded. VES-13268 Problem: On the Add A Person screen, ES is required to send a search token in the "Add" request if the user is explicitly adding when a search has returned no match found or possible matches. ES is no longer sending the search token in the "Add" request. Resolution: The code was fixed to add the attention line with the search token document value when an explicit add request is sent to MPI from the following three functionalities in ES: 1. Add a person through ES user interface 2. Add a person through Veteran's On-Line Application (VOA) 3. Add a person through DHS Load VES-13437 Problem: When a new site correlation is issued from the ES user interface, in some cases the outbound messaging does not get produced for the new site because the correlation profile is not immediately reflecting the addition of the newly added facility; there is a race between ES and Person Search Identity Management (PSIM) for which comes first. Resolution: Added a delay of 1 minute to the ORU-Z11 and ORU-Z05 trigger event processing to prevent the race condition. VES-13566 Problem: The batch job for DHS bulk load is hardcoded to a single agency; it needs to be configurable in the input file for the addition of new agencies. Resolution: Modified the DHS batch load process to set the agency coming in from the data file.
