$TXT Created by DEVCRN.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Tuesday, 07/01/14 at 11:24 ============================================================================= Run Date: NOV 13, 2014 Designation: RG*1*61 Package : RG - CLINICAL INFO RESOURCE NETWORK Priority: Mandatory Version : 1 SEQ #60 Status: Released Compliance Date: DEC 14, 2014 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)RG*1*59 <<= must be installed BEFORE `RG*1*61' (v)RG*1*60 <<= must be installed BEFORE `RG*1*61' Subject: MASTER VETERAN INDEX VISTA ISSUES - ITERATION 12 Category: - Routine - Enhancement (Mandatory) Description: ============ NOTE: To prevent legacy systems ending up as Treating Facilities, RG* and MPIF* patches should NOT be installed on legacy systems. RG*1.0*59 and RG*1.0*60 are required builds for patch RG*1.0*61. NOTE: The messaging enhancements for the new SELF IDENTIFIED GENDER (#.024) field in the PATIENT (#2) File are being distributed in three VistA namespaces: DG, RG and MPIF. The patches should be installed in the following order: DG*5.3*876, RG*1.0*61, and then MPIF*1.0*59. After installing DG*5.3*876, it is not necessary to wait for the bulletin from the queued Master Patient Index (MPI) Employee data seeding process to complete before moving on with installing RG*1.0*61. However, it is recommended that these three patches be installed within a short time window, preferably on the same date if possible. Issue #1 The Point Of Contact (POC) add/edit functionality for the Add/Edit Point of Contact, [RG UPDATE POINT OF CONTACT], menu option is being migrated to the ToolKit (TK) graphical user interface (GUI). The VistA process will no longer be accessible to users, as the option will be removed from the MPI/PD Patient Admin Coordinator Menu option,[RG ADMIN COORD MENU], and will also be placed out of order with the message: Obsolete with RG*1.0*61. Complete removal of this functionality from the VistA system will take place at a later date. Issue #2 To address Remedy ticket INC000000860605, modifications were made to the routine, RGADTP1, to ensure that large lists of Aliases for a patient are processed correctly. Note: This issue only occurs if the patient has a large number of Aliases, which subsequently requires a continuation PID(6) Health Level Seven (HL7) segment be created. The issue was confined to the processing of these continuation segments only. Issue #3 To address Remedy ticket INC000000946297, modifications were made to the routine, RGMTAUDP, to prevent users from receiving an undefined error when using the Patient Audit File Print, [RGMT AUDIT PRINT], menu option. Note: Error only manifested itself when the user chose to run the report for "SELECTED" fields and "ALL" patients. Issue #4 Enhancements were made to the ADT-A08 and ACK-A31 HL7 messages sent to the MPI to include the following fields from the PATIENT File (#2): - SELF IDENTIFIED GENDER (#.024) - PERIOD OF SERVICE (#.323) - TYPE (#391) - VETERAN (Y/N)? (#1901) VETERAN (Y/N)? (#1901) and TYPE (#391) will be located on the ZEL segment, PERIOD OF SERVICE (#.323) will be located on the ZSP segment, and SELF IDENTIFIED GENDER (#.024) will be located on the OBX segment of the HL7 message. Issue #5 Modifications were made to the ADT-A08 and ACK-A31 Health Level Seven (HL7) messages sent to the Master Patient Index (MPI) to accurately capture the name fields entered or edited in VistA. - The ADT-A08 HL7 message has included an OBX segment which will contain the NAME field (#.01) of the PATIENT File (#2), and the FAMILY (LAST) LAST NAME (#1), GIVEN (FIRST) NAME (#2), MIDDLE NAME (#3), SUFFIX (#5), and PREFIX (#4) fields of the NAME COMPONENTS File (#20). - The ACK-A31 HL7 application acknowledgement sent to the MPI in response to an ADT-A31 will include an ERR segment with the same data, Patient Name and Name Components, as described in the ADT-A08 HL7 message above.
