$TXT Created by at CLN1G2.AAC.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Friday, 08/28/20 at 09:00 ============================================================================= Run Date: DEC 08, 2020 Designation: PSJ*5*406 Package : PSJ - INPATIENT MEDICATIONS Priority: Mandatory Version : 5 SEQ #351 Status: Released Compliance Date: JAN 08, 2021 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PSJ*5*315 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PSJ*5*406' Subject: AMPERSAND CHARACTER (&) IN THE SCHEDULE CAUSES ORDER ERROR IN BCBU Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch, in conjunction with PSB*3*127, will resolve the following issue: 1) INC11397447 - BCMA (Bar Code Medication Administration) Backup (BCBU) workstation patient print out and order display removal times for INHALATION Medications Special Notes: PSB*3.0*127 should be installed on ALL BCBU workstation computers before proceeding with VistA install of PSJ*5.0*406. Please do not continue with PSJ*5.0*406 install until this is complete. PSJ*5.0*406 does NOT need to be installed on the BCBU workstations. In VistA, install PSB*3.0*127 first and then install PSJ*5.0*406. Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: -------------------------------------------- 1) INC11397447 - BCMA Backup workstation patient print out and order display removal times for INHALATION Medications Problem: -------- The VA North Texas Health Care System reported that when displaying and printing patient orders the print out includes removal times for medications that do not require removal. The source of the problem was identified in the schedule used for these orders. If it contains the ampersand character (&), e.g. AC&HS, it shifts fields within the HL7 message communicated between the main VistA system and the BCBU workstation, which causes it to populate the REMOVE TIMING field (#7.4) within the ORDER NUMBER sub-file (#53.702) in the BCMA BACKUP DATA file (#53.7). Solution: --------- Changed the building of the outbound order HL7 message from VistA to the BCBU workstation to escape the schedule field value before including it in the HL7 message and also changed the processing of the incoming message to un-escape the schedule field value before parsing it at the BCBU workstation. Technical Resolution: --------------------- This patch changes the routine PSJHL3 at line tag RXE+39 and IVRXE+7 to escape the schedule field value before including it in the outbound HL7 message sent to the BCBU workstation. Test Sites: ----------- Ralph H. Johnson VAMC (Charleston, SC) North Texas HCS (Dallas, TX) Software and Documentation Retrieval Instructions: -------------------------------------------------- The software for this patch is being released in a PackMan message. Patch Installation: Pre/Post Installation Overview: ------------------------------- It is not necessary to disable any options. Pre-Installation Instructions: ------------------------------ This patch should be installed during non-peak hours to minimize potential disruption to users. This patch should take less than 2 minutes to install. NOTE: PSB*3.0*127 should be installed on ALL BCBU workstation computers before proceeding with VistA install of PSJ*5.0*406. Please do not continue with PSJ*5.0*406 install until this is complete. PSJ*5.0*406 does NOT need to be installed on the BCBU workstations. In VistA, install PSB*3.0*127 first and then install PSJ*5.0*406. Installation Instructions: 1. Choose the PackMan message containing this patch. Then select the INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE PackMan option to load the patch. 2. From the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu, select the Installation Menu. From this menu, A. Select the Verify Checksums in Transport Global option to confirm the integrity of the routines that are in the transport global. When prompted for the INSTALL NAME enter the patch. (ex. PSJ*5.0*406) NOTE: Using will not bring up a Multi-Package build even if it was loaded immediately before this step. It will only bring up the last patch in the build. B. Select the Backup a Transport Global option to create a backup message of any routines exported with this patch. It will not backup any other changes such as DDs or templates. C. You may also elect to use the following options: i. Print Transport Global - This option will allow you to view the components of the KIDS build. ii. Compare Transport Global to Current System - This option will allow you to view all changes that will be made when this patch is installed. It compares all of the components of this patch, such as routines, DDs, templates, etc. D. Select the Install Package(s) option and choose the patch to install. i. If prompted 'Want KIDS to Rebuild Menu Trees Upon Completion of Install? NO//', answer NO. ii. When prompted 'Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONs during the install? NO//', answer NO. iii. When prompted 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and Protocols? NO//', answer NO. iv. When prompted 'Delay Install (Minutes): (0 - 60): 0//', answer 0. Post Installation Instructions: ------------------------------- None. Back-out/Rollback Strategy: --------------------------- Back-out will be done only with the concurrence and participation of development team and appropriate VA site/region personnel. The decision to back-out or rollback software will be a joint decision between development team, VA site/region personnel and other appropriate VA personnel. Prior to installing an updated KIDS package, the site/region should have saved a backup of the routines in a mail message using the Backup a Transport Global [XPD BACKUP] menu option (this is done at time of install). The message containing the backed up routines can be loaded with the "Xtract PackMan" function at the Message Action prompt. The Packman function "INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE" is then used to install the backed up routines onto the VistA System. The back-out plan is to restore the routines from the backup created. No data was modified by this patch installation and, therefore, no rollback strategy is required. Validation of Roll Back Procedure: ---------------------------------- The Roll Back Procedure can be verified by printing the first 2 lines of the PSJ Routine contained in this patch using the option First Line Routine Print [XU FIRST LINE PRINT]. Once the routine contained in the PSJ*5.0*406 patch has been rolled back, the first two lines of the routine will no longer contain the designation of patch PSJ*5.0*406 in the patch list section on line 2. Routine Information: ==================== The second line of each of these routines now looks like: ;;5.0;INPATIENT MEDICATIONS;**[Patch List]**;16 DEC 97;Build 1 The checksums below are new checksums, and can be checked with CHECK1^XTSUMBLD.
