============================================================================= Run Date: SEP 30, 2003 Designation: MAG*3*25 Package : MAG - IMAGING Priority: Mandatory Version : 3 SEQ #13 Status: Released Compliance Date: OCT 31, 2003 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)MAG*3*17 install with patch `MAG*3*25' (v)MAG*3*1 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MAG*3*25' (v)MAG*3*7 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MAG*3*25' Subject: IMAGE INDEX CONVERSION PHASE 2 Category: - Routine - Data Dictionary Description: ============ VistA Imaging patch MAG*3*25 contains enhancements and fixes to the functionality introduced in Patch 17. Patch 17 added "index" fields to key files in the Imaging System and provided a conversion tool to populate these fields. Patch 25 adds an additional index field, provides an updated version of the conversion tool, and contains enhancements and corrections to the conversion process (to be performed after Patch 25 installation). Proper implementation of Patch 25 will ensure that patient images are categorized in a consistent manner from site to site. Future patches will rely on the fields introduced in Patch 25. ********************************************************************** Note for sites that have started or performed the Patch 17 conversion: ********************************************************************** Installing Patch 25 will clear any pre-existing index field values. The conversion tool will need to be rerun against all Image file entries after installing Patch 25. (The speed of the conversion process (especially the commit step) has been dramatically improved.) Note: Do not install this patch if your site is a test site for the VistA Imaging v2.5 consolidation software.

The Image Index Conversion Tool chapter explains the indexing to take effect on the Imaging files. Please review this section of the documentation thoroughly. 2) The patch 25 conversion process will need to be coordinated by a site's IRM personnel, and will need to be evaluated and approved by a site's Clinical ADPAC. Additional clinical staff may also need to be consulted to evaluate the appropriateness of mapping results.
