Problem: -------- When attempting to identify a patient in the Edit Closed screen, the search dialog would not update the parent screen after selecting the identified patient. The "Continue" action appeared to do nothing, leaving users unable to complete patient identification. Resolution: ----------- Fixed the timing issue where the screen was trying to update before the system finished validating the selected patient. The update now waits until validation is complete before refreshing the screen. If there are validation errors, the dialog stays open to show the error messages. If validation passes, the dialog closes and the screen updates with the newly identified patient information. This now works the same way as the legacy system. 2) EDIS-1341: 508: Address issues with Edit Closed and Restore screens. Problem: -------- When the Restore and Edit Closed pages are loaded, assistive technology does not read anything on the pages. Also, when a search for a patient is performed and a result table is rendered, nothing is read by assistive technology. Resolution: ----------- Code changes were made to make the pages 508 compliant. Also, when a search is performed the full page is loaded and assistive technology now reads the full page. 3) EDIS-936: The columns within the reports do not sort properly. Problem: -------- The Wait, Triage, Admission Delay, Admission Decision, and Elapsed columns in "From Averages for Different Categories" section in the Activity and VA Admissions Reports and "Elapsed" column in the Delay Report are some of the time-based columns that do not sort properly. Resolution: ----------- Code changes were made to sort the values in these columns. 4) EDIS-1460: 500 error on Patient Visit page. Problem: -------- While navigating in the application, when a user makes changes and attempts to navigate away without saving, they are prompted with the browser popup to confirm that they want to exit without saving. If the user selects "Cancel", they are returned to continue with editing. However, a bug exists in the code that invalidates the data even if the user had opted not to lose the changes. Subsequent navigation will attempt to use the invalidated data which no longer exists, thereby resulting in an http 500 error. Resolution: ----------- Added logic to prevent the invalidation of the user session if the user selects No, thereby still preserving all the data in the current session. 5) EDIS-1617: INC41068268 - Patient occupied rooms are disappearing from EDIS board when Display When is changed to Never. Problem: -------- The "Display When" dropdown in Split Room/Bed configuration page allowed users to select "Never" option causing the Room/Bed to disappear from the Clinical Practice Environment (CPE) screen with patients in it. Existing Room/Beds that already had "Never" option selected needed to remain functional (backward compatibility). Resolution: ----------- Disabled the "Never" option making it non-selectable (grayed out) in the GUI. The option remains visible for display purposes but cannot be selected anymore. Existing Room/Beds with "Never" continues to work as-is (backward compatible). Test Sites: ----------- Jesse Brown VAMC, Chicago, IL Robert J.
