============================================================================= Run Date: JUL 10, 2024 Designation: PREM*4*1 Package : PREM - MEDICATION ORDER CHECK (MOCH Priority: Mandatory Version : 4 SEQ #1 Status: Released Compliance Date: AUG 10, 2024 ============================================================================= Subject: MOCHA 4.0 UPGRADE IN SUPPORT OF FDB FWK UPGRADE FROM V3.3 TO V4.5 Category: - Informational - Other Description: ============ The Pharmacy Reengineering (PRE) Project provided innovative enhancements to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Medication order checks are currently accomplished through the synergistic functionality of multiple applications, including Medication Order Check Healthcare Application (MOCHA), Pharmacy Enterprise Customization System (PECS), Pharmacy Product System-National (PPS-N), and Data Update (DATUP). MOCHA Server is a Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) application, used by the MOCHA Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Pharmacy Application to perform enhanced order checks using First Databank's (FDB) MedKnowledge Framework (Fwk). MOCHA Server is a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) built custom web application; it is not a legacy or Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) application or an Enterprise Shared Service (ESS). FDB MedKnowledge Fwk is a drug data product that provides the latest identification and safety information on medications, along with the latest algorithms used to perform order checks. VHA, Patient Care Services (PCS), and Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has requested the FDB Fwk upgrade from version 3.3 to version 4.5 for VA Pharmacy applications. MOCHA Server will be upgrading the Application Programming Interface (API) calls in support of the FDB Fwk version 4.5 upgrade. ****** Please note, this informational patch is release 2 in a series of releases to upgrade VA clinical applications to FDB version 4.5. For this release, an upgraded MOCHA Server using FDB version 4.5 will be deployed to production, to run in parallel to the existing MOCHA Server using FDB version 3.3. MOCHA Server using FDB version 3.3 would continue to be used nationally by VistA sites until a subsequent PREM patch and VistA patch are released. ****** Files & Fields Associated: File Name (Number) Field Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------------ ------------------- -------------------- Not Applicable (N/A) Forms Associated: Form Name File Number New/Modified/Deleted --------- ----------- -------------------- N/A Mail Groups Associated: Mail Group Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------- -------------------- N/A Options Associated: Option Name Type New/Modified/Deleted ----------- ---- -------------------- N/A Protocols Associated: N/A Protocol Name New/Modified/Deleted ------------- -------------------- N/A Security Keys Associated: Security Key Name ----------------- N/A Templates Associated: Template Name Type File Name (Number) New/Modified/Deleted ------------- ---- ------------------ -------------------- N/A Remote Procedures Associated: Remote Procedure Name New/Modified/Deleted --------------------- -------------------- N/A Parameter Definitions Associated: Parameter Name New/Modified/Deleted -------------- -------------------- N/A Additional Information: Blood Bank Team Coordination: ---------------------------- N/A New Service Requests (NSRs): --------------------------- N/A Patient Safety Issues (PSIs): ---------------------------- N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: N/A Problem: ------- N/A Resolution: ----------- N/A Test Sites: ----------- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) will be completed by the Business Office, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM).
