$TXT Created by at DEVVVV.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Thursday, 10/10/19 at 10:54 ============================================================================= Run Date: DEC 09, 2019 Designation: SD*5.3*734 Package : SD - SCHEDULING Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 5.3 SEQ #595 Status: Released Compliance Date: DEC 19, 2019 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)SD*5.3*722 <<= must be installed BEFORE `SD*5.3*734' (v)SD*5.3*731 <<= must be installed BEFORE `SD*5.3*734' Subject: DATE INTERPRETATION PROBLEM Category: - Routine Description: ============ When using the VA Online Scheduling (VAOS) an error is generated entering data into the SDEC APPOINTMENT (409.84) file. This error occurs when VAOS attempts sending future date/time to the DESIRED DATE OF APPOINTMENT (.2) field. The SDEC APPOINTMENT file is not expecting a time at this field definition. Patch SD*5.3*734 updates the routine SDEC55A to strip time from the Clinically Indicated Date (CID) if it is present. This fix allows schedulers to cancel VAOS appointments from the VistA Scheduling Enhancement (VSE) calendar without error.

INC6787649 - Cancels wrong patient appointment when original appointment was made through self-scheduling. INC5319470 - Managerial Cost Accounting & Analytics (MCAA) report and Graphical User Interface (GUI) cancelling wrong appointments. INC6138283 - Scheduler tries to cancel Veterans Appointment Request (VAR)/VA Online Scheduled appointment by right clicking appointment in "Pending Appointments" box at top of VSE screen, and it puts her in another patient's record and tries to cancel an appointment for that patient. INC6953752 - schedulers are stating they are in the middle of scheduling and patients are flipped. Problem: ------- When a VAOS-created appointment is cancelled in VSE, the appointment for the previously scheduled appointment, for another patient, is cancelled instead. Resolution: ---------- Appointment cancellation can be performed from the appointment context menu associated with the appointment from either the Pending Appointments list or the calendar. A change was made to a Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming Systems (MUMPS) routine (SDEC55A) that stripped the '@' if it is included in the submitted date. This allows the proper appointment to be cancelled. ========================================================================== Test Sites: ---------- San Diego HCS Pittsburg VAMC Software and Documentation Retrieval Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------- Software being released as a host file and/or documentation describing the new functionality introduced by this patch are available.
