HDSO-4592 INC26689151 - BRS 5.1 Database isn't displaying Rated Disabilities. Problem: -------- BRS 5.1 database is not picking up a Veteran's Rated Disabilities from the VA VistA database as seen in the VistA's medical record chart. Technical Problem: ------------------ When using the Enter/Edit BR Patient menu and entering information on the "Basic Information" screen, it is advised to click on "Save" prior to continuing to the next page. A work around is to save the information on the first page. Resolution: ----------- Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. 2. HDSO-5823 508 issue - Reading order for Add Note Referral is incorrect. Problem: -------- Add Note Referral information is incoherent to a Jaws user. Technical Problem: ------------------ The Referral Information is read column by column which is incoherent to a Jaws user. Either merge the first 2 columns and last 2 columns together so that the reading order makes sense or make it a presentation table. Resolution: ----------- Add Note Referral information is now accessible to Jaws users. 3. HDSO-5825 508 issue - Referral Status History on Edit Referral is not accessible. Problem: -------- An existing referral must exist for a patient. The table for the Referral History Status is not keyboard accessible and is not able to be read by Jaws. Path: Enter/Edit -> Create Referral -> Edit an existing referral Technical Problem: ------------------ A code component needs to be updated to be read by Jaws, because the table for the Referral History Status is not keyboard accessible. Resolution: ----------- Updated code component to resolve the issue. Referral History Status is now accessible and able to be read by Jaws. 4. HDSO-5928 Patient Status Change allows user to leave required fields blank. Problem: -------- There are two fields marked as required, but when a user selects the Inactivate Patient Status button without completing the required fields it saves the patient status. The application should display an error message indicating which required fields are missing. Currently the application allows the user to toggle back and forth to Inactivate or Activate without a Date or Reason. Path: Enter/Edit -> Patient Status Technical Problem: ------------------ Code needs to be modified so that Patient Status is NOT saved if the required fields are not completed. An error message will display, noting which required fields are missing. Resolution: ----------- The application now displays an error message indicating which required fields are missing. 5. HDSO-7173 INC31369207 - BR 5.1 is creating new patient records without an address. Problem: -------- BRS 5.1 allows an end user to create a new patient record without an address. These patient records will not display when staff generate mailing labels since there is no entry in the PATIENT_ADDRESS table to join when the query is executed to generate the mailing label list. Technical Problem: ------------------ Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- Newly created or updated patient addresses will be filtered out when the Print Patient Mailing Labels query is executed. Newly created or edited addresses will display upon the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) scheduled task successful completion. 6. HDSO-7207 INC31519214 - BRS 5.1 Veteran's Address display issue. Problem: -------- Addresses for patient info are not syncing correctly with updated information in CPRS. Technical Problem: ------------------ Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- Newly created or edited patient addresses will be filtered out when the Print Patient Mailing Labels query is executed. 7. HDSO-7215 INC31525822 - No Priority Group for Veterans in BRS 5.1 application. Problem: -------- Priority Groups for Veterans are not being pulled into the BRS 5.1 application. Technical Problem: ------------------ Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- Newly added or edited Priority Groups for Veterans are will now display upon successful PSD Updater completion. 8. HDSO-7223 INC30474474 - BR5.1 application is not showing military service for Veterans. Problem: -------- BRS 5.1 period of military service/time of service/point of service is not showing for some recent veterans. Technical Problem: ------------------ Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- BRS 5.1 period of military service/time of service/point of service will display upon successful PSD updater completion. 9. HDSO-7390 INC31927767 - BRS 5.1 - The application needs to be fixed so that it captures the SSN, date of birth and address for all newly created patient records. Problem: -------- BR 5.1 needs to be fixed so that it captures the SSN, date of birth and address for all newly created patient records. Technical Problem: ------------------ Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. The following call needs to be made as the final step of creating a new patient record in BR 5.1: // Get the patient's latest demographics PSDMerge psdMerge = new PSDMerge(); patient = psdMerge.updateDemographics( patient, currentUser, stationNumber, maritalStatusValidCodes ) Resolution: ----------- The most current information for Veterans will now display. 10. HDSO-7446 INC29250749 - Print Individual records menu issue in BRS 5.1 database. Problem: -------- National Database for BRS 5.1 is having an issue with fully incorporating new patient information. They are unable to see all entered data when using the Print Individual records menu under Patient Information. Technical Problem: ------------------ Issue is being caused by patients that have a NULL date of birth, due to a VDIF issue. Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- The most current information for Veterans will now display PSD Updater successful completion. 11. HDSO-7563 Modify Referral - Search criteria page, select boxes overlap. Problem: -------- The select box for Initiating Areas and Statuses overlap when at >=90% resolution. Need to add more space between the two boxes. Path: Enter/Edit tab -> Modify Referral (Search) Technical Problem: ------------------ Code needs to be modified to add more space between the Initiating Areas and Statuses boxes. Resolution: ----------- Code was modified to add more space between the Initiating Areas and Statuses boxes. 12. HDSO-7564 Referral History Report - More space is needed between Type of Referral & Status. Problem: -------- A Type of Referral that is 34 characters or longer runs into the next column on the Referral History Report. When this occurs, it is difficult to see where the Type of Referral ends, and the Status begins. This also causes the Patient Status display to be bisected when "View" is selected. Path: Under Print Individual Records -> Referral History Technical Problem: ------------------ Code needs to be modified to add space between the Type of Referral and Status fields. Resolution: ----------- Column spacing has been addressed. Type of Referral will no longer run into the Status column on the Referral History Report. Additionally, Patient Status display will no longer be bisected when "View" is selected. 13. HDSO-7989 INC33544754 - Blind Rehab - No patient records have been updated with the *SENSITIVE* flag since 8/17/2022. Problem: -------- National Database for Blind Rehabilitation 5.1 is having an issue with fully incorporating the SENSITIVE patient flag. No patient records have been updated with the *SENSITIVE* flag since 8/17/2022. Technical Problem: ------------------ Issue is being caused by patients that have a SENSITIVE patient flag, due to a VDIF issue. Until a VDIF change is made to pull this information, the Patient Demographic (PSDUpdater) daily scheduled task needs to be successfully run in order to pull the most current information for each Veterans record. Resolution: ----------- SENSITIVE patient flag will now be set in the BRS 5.1 database and displayed in Blind Rehab. 14. HDSO-8276 Edit Referral Admit Date was allowed for date in future and could not reschedule referral Problem: -------- User was allowed to set the Admit date to next year which prohibited the Discharge date to be set to the current date. Admit and Discharged dates should be set to the current date or before. Technical Problem: ------------------ Calendar component does not block users from selecting/entering a date in the future. Resolution: ----------- Set the "maxdate" to the current date, this will block future dates. Restored Functionality: ----------------------- Utilizing the Enter/Edit BR Patient menu, the patient's current VistA demographics data will be saved to the BR database by executing Save and Continue.
