============================================================================= Run Date: MAY 13, 2025 Designation: PRED*4*3 Package : PRED - PHARMACY DATA UPDATE (DATUP) Priority: Mandatory Version : 4 SEQ #3 Status: Released Compliance Date: JUN 13, 2025 ============================================================================= Subject: DATUP 4.0 UPGRADE IN SUPPORT OF FDB FWK UPGRADE FROM V3.3 TO V4.5 Category: - Informational - Other Description: ============ The Pharmacy Reengineering (PRE) Project provided innovative enhancements to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Medication order checks are currently accomplished through the synergistic functionality of multiple applications, including Medication Order Check Healthcare Application (MOCHA), Pharmacy Enterprise Customization System (PECS), Pharmacy Product System-National (PPS-N), and Data Update (DATUP). DATUP is a utility that runs an automated process to maintain the First Databank (FDB) Drug Information Framework (DIF) data and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) custom data used by MOCHA and currently maintained at the national level by PECS and PPS-N. VHA, Patient Care Services (PCS), and Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has requested the FDB Framework (Fwk) upgrade from version 3.3 to version 4.5 for VA Pharmacy applications. DATUP will be upgrading the Application Programming Interface (API) calls in support of the FDB Fwk version 4.5 upgrade. ****** Please note, this informational patch is released with release 6 (PREN*4*1) and release 7 (PREC*7*1) from a series of releases to upgrade VA clinical applications to FDB version 4.5. For this release, an upgraded DATUP using FDB version 4.5 will be deployed to production, to run in parallel to the existing DATUP using FDB version 3.3. DATUP using FDB version 3.3 would continue to be used nationally until release 6 (PREN*4*1) and release 7 (PREC*7*1) are released, which would switch VA clinical applications to DATUP using FDB version 4.5 and disable DATUP using FDB version 3.3. DATUP version 3.3 would be decommissioned during the warranty period that would follow the completion of these releases and provided there are no significant issues discovered with these releases that might warrant a rollback to use the DATUP version 3.3 application. ****** Files & Fields Associated: File Name (Number) Field Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------------ ------------------- -------------------- Not Applicable (N/A) Forms Associated: Form Name File Number New/Modified/Deleted --------- ----------- -------------------- N/A Mail Groups Associated: Mail Group Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------- -------------------- N/A Options Associated: Option Name Type New/Modified/Deleted ----------- ---- -------------------- N/A Protocols Associated: N/A Protocol Name New/Modified/Deleted ------------- -------------------- N/A Security Keys Associated: Security Key Name ----------------- N/A Templates Associated: Template Name Type File Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------- ---- ------------------ -------------------- N/A Remote Procedures Associated: Remote Procedure Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------------- -------------------- N/A Parameter Definitions Associated: Parameter Name New/Modified/Deleted -------------- -------------------- N/A Additional Information: Blood Bank Team Coordination: ---------------------------- N/A New Service Requests (NSRs): ---------------------------- N/A Patient Safety Issues (PSIs): ----------------------------- N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: N/A Problem: -------- N/A Resolution: ----------- N/A Test Sites: ----------- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) will be completed by the Business Office, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM).
