EFFECT ON BLOOD BANK FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Patch LR*5.2*386 does not alter or modify any software design safeguards or safety critical elements functions. RISK ANALYSIS: Changes made by patch LR*5.2*386 have no effect on Blood Bank software functionality, therefore RISK is none. VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS BY OPTION: Because of the nature of the changes made, no specific validation requirements exist as a result of installation of this patch. ========================================================================== This patch will addresses the following 3 issues: 1. It will correct a problem with the DSS Lab Results Extract whereby results that are greater than 10 characters long cause the record to be omitted from the extract. 2. It also addresses a merge problem whereby "ghost" tests are added to a merged patient because of a failure to cleanup after the previous merge attempt. 3. It will fix a problem which allows for a result that is supposed to be numeric to be entered with 2 decimal points.

HD0000000251259 - LRNUM allows storing of result with 2 decimal places Participating Test Sites: ========================= Biloxi VAMC Fayetteville VAMC Montana HCS Shreveport VAMC Remedy Ticket Overview: ======================= 1. HD0000000197958 - Partial extract of some LAR tests Problem ------------ The DSS Lab Results extract stores data in a temporary file (#64.368) before transmission to Austin. The DD for the results field in this temporary file allows for only 10 characters. An entered result that is longer than 10 characters will cause the entire record to be omitted from the extract. Solution ------------ Modify the DD for this field (^DD(64.368,1)) to allow 20 characters instead of 10. Also modify routine LRCAPDAR to truncate results that might be greater than 20 characters so that all the records make it into the extract. Routine: LRCAPDAR 2. HD0000000070197 - Merge accession adding "ghost" test Problem ------- When trying to merge 2 accessions, if the merge is unsuccessful (the patients are different) the related tests are not cleaned up and they appear on the next accession that is merged. Solution -------- Modify routine LR7OMERG to clean up after a failed merge attempt. Routine: LR7OMERG 3. HD0000000251259 - LRNUM allows storing of result with 2 decimal places Problem ------- A test result that is supposed to be numeric can be entered with 2 decimal points. Solution -------- Do not allow a result to be entered with 2 decimal points if the result is supposed to be numeric.

This patch can be installed when Laboratory users are on the system. NOTE: Kernel patches must be current on the target system to avoid problems loading and/or installing this patch. 1. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option of the PackMan menu. This option will load the KIDS patch onto your system. 2. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your system. You now need to use KIDS to install the transport global. 3. On the 'Kernel Installation & Distribution System' Menu (KIDS), select the 'Installation' menu. 4. Use the 'Verify Checksum in Transport Global' option and verify that all routines have the correct checksums. 5. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following options: Print Transport Global Compare Transport Global to Current System Backup a Transport Global If you wish to preserve a copy of the routines exported in this patch prior to installation, you should use the 'Backup a Transport Global' option at this time. You may also compare the routines in your production account to the routines in the patch by using the 'Compare a Transport Global to Current System' option. 6. Use the 'Install Package(s)' option under the 'Installation' menu and select the package 'LR*5.2*386'. If prompted 'Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONs during the install? NO//', press . If prompted 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and Protocols? NO//', press .
