Subject: CARRIAGE RETURNS IN HL7 MESSAGES SENT TO HDR

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 Some of the Outpatient Pharmacy HL7 messages that are sent to the HDR
 (Health Data Repository) have carriage returns in the text.  This is a
 problem because the HL7 message parser is unable to parse the message.
 As a result, an error occurs and the message is not processed.
  
  
 This patch addresses the following:
 -----------------------------
  
 1. Removes the carriage returns so Outpatient Pharmacy HL7 messages
    are properly processed by the HDR.
  
 2. Allows for previously problematic/rejected messages to be resent
    to the HDR.

 Remedy Overview:
 ================
  
 HD0000000251264
  
 Some of the outpatient pharmacy HL7 messages that are sent to the HDR
 have carriage returns in the text. The carriage returns are not escaped.
 The messages with carriage returns are not being migrated to HDR II due
 to the carriage return.
  
  
 Problem:
 --------
 Analysis reveals the carriage return <CR> is accompanied by a corresponding
 line feed <LF>. So the task is to remove the pair. Carriage returns and line
 feeds are not part of the HL7 standard, so the message parser can not process
 the message.
  
  
 Resolution:
 -----------
 Routine PSOVDF2 has been modified. The carriage return and line feed
 is replaced with a space. This will allow the HL7 parser to process
 Outpatient Pharmacy messages without any errors.
  
 Post Install routine PSO327PI was created so users can resend messages that
 were not migrated due to the carriage return.  The users can run this from
 a programmer's prompt by calling EN^PSO327PI (D EN^PSO327PI).  This routine
 will prompt the user for a prescription.  It will display to the user the 
 drug name and patient to verify it is the correct prescription.  When the 
 user answers Yes to the 'Is this Correct?' prompt, the prescription is resent 
 to the HDR and the user is prompted for the next prescription.
  
 Example:
 VMPDEV20>D EN^PSO327PI
  
 Select PRESCRIPTION RX #: 100002646       ASPIRIN BUFFERED 325MG TAB  
 Rx IEN: 402918
 Patient: PATNM,ONE   (0001)
  
 Is this Correct? YES  ... SENT
  
 ===================================================================
  
 SPECIAL NOTE
 ------------
 Not all VAMC will need to run the PSO327PI utility but all sites 
 should install the patch. The HDR will contact all sites that need to
 resend any prescription HL7 messages that failed to migrate.  They will
 provide guidance and instruction on how to proceed.  Do not operate the
 utility unless your facility is requested to do so.  Please direct any
 questions or inquiries to the following mail group: VHA OI SDD HDR327
