Subject: HEALTH DATA REPOSITORY MERGE ISSUE

Category: 
  - Routine

Description:
============

 This patch will correct the following issue:
 
 1) VistA allows the user to merge two records for the same patient (duplicates)
    using the Patient Merge utilities, which include the Duplicate Resolution
    System. Through a series of precise procedures, duplicate record pairs are
    merged.
 
    This patch introduces a process to check the allergy assessment of the two
    duplicate records belonging to the same patient.

 REMEDY OVERVIEW:
 ===============
  1) INC0000000237112 - HDR Merge Testing: Resulting patient lists NKA
   
  Problem:
  --------
  Duplicate patient merge functionality is not processing data elements from 
  allergy assessments.
  
  If two patients are merged and one has allergies and the other does not, 
  there is no check to see if an assessment has been done to determine if the 
  patient should be marked as having allergies.
   
  Solution:
  ---------
  A routine has been added to run pre-merge that will assess both the FROM 
  and TO patients to determine their allergy status and set appropriate 
  fields in the ADVERSE REACTION ASSESSMENT file (#120.86).  This routine 
  will be added to the package file and will be permanent for the merge to 
  call each time before it is run.
