Problem: When the patient's alias is similar to their name, it displays the name twice in ISS which causes confusion for schedulers. Resolution: The SDES2 PATIENT SEARCH RPC was updated to return a single entry when the patient's alias is similar to their name. 2) VSE-9624: VistA: Modify SDES GET CLINIC ORIGINAL AVAIL to correct calculations of original availability. Problem: It was determined that when a clinic has special availability that does not fall on the increment that represents the clinics increment, then the return from SDES GET CLINIC ORIGINAL AVAIL is being miscalculated. Resolution: The SDES GET CLINIC ORIGINAL AVAIL RPC was updated so that the original availability return correctly reflects clinic availability for defined availability (both special and indefinite). 3) VSE-9639: VistA: Create a new SDES2 RPC to return back the time slots that have been cancelled for a clinic. Problem: At this time the CCM UI only restores the first timeslot from the consecutive timeslot list, restoring option will fix this by providing a range. CCM wants to allow users to specify which timeslot to restore similar to how VistA allows today. Resolution: The SDES2 GET CLINIC CANCEL SLOTS RPC returns the cancelled slots if any for a given clinic for the date supplied. 4) VSE-9656: VistA: SDES2 CLONE CLINIC SLOTS to return back the first future date for the day of the week. Problem: When availability was defined indefinitely in the past, the current logic will return back the first day of availability. This is an issue, because the create clinic availability logic does not allow a past date. Resolution: The SDES2 CLONE CLINIC SLOTS RPC was updated to return the first future date for the specified day of the week. 5) VSE-9713: VistA: Modify SDES SEARCH PROVIDER to increase performance. Problem: When availability was defined indefinitely in the past, the current logic will return back the first day of availability. This is an issue, because the create clinic availability logic does not allow a past date. Resolution: The SDES SEARCH PROVIDER RPC was optimized to increase performance.
