The utility routines that determine the end of Daylight Savings Time were updated to correct and error for the calculation on the last day of Daylight Savings Time. The SDES2 CREATE APPT REQUEST RPC was updated to include a new input parameter for a Duplicate Reason comment and will store this comment in the DUPLICATE REASON field (#51) in the SDEC APPT REQUEST file (#409.85). The SDES2 CREATE CLIN AVAILABILITY RPC was updated to include an error check when the clinic availability string exceeds 80 characters. The VS GUI was updated to pass the PID date instead of the FileEntryDate when the user is attempting to drag and drop a recall appointment. The Block and Move logic was updated to allow the moving of an appointment from a one variable length clinic to another variable length clinic provided the slots needed for the total length of the appointment in the destination clinic are available. Also fixed the logic in SDES2BLOCKANDMOV to correct this error: SUBSCRIPT>VALIDATEORIGSLOT+4^SDES2BLOCKANDMOV The logic supporting the cancellation of an appointment was updated to remove any embedded control characters. A post-install process was included to strip the control characters from existing cancellation remarks. A post install routine will cleanup control characters within the notes and auditing notes of both appointment requests (APPT and Recalls) and appointments. The VS GUI was updated to not allow the user to create a Video Visit Appointment when the date of the appointment is in the past. The VS GUI was updated to add error logging for the Create VVC appointment process and the Edit VVC appointment process. ************************************************************************** * GUI UPDATE NOTICE * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * * This patch MUST be installed before the GUI update for release * * 1.7.63.2 of VS is installed. * * * * * * The previous version of the VS GUI will not operate after this * * patch is installed.

Problem: As an ISS scheduler, I want a search function by clinic so that I can find a consecutive slot availability based on my search criteria. The results returned can be exported, so the scheduler can reference the slot availability as they schedule. Resolution: The new SDES2 SEARCH CLINIC SLOTS Remote Procedure Call (RPC) will identify consecutive, recurring slots in a clinic based on search criteria. 2) VSE-8773: VistA: Time zone offset issue on last day of daylight savings. Problem: An issue with the offset of appointments on the last day of daylight savings was reported during the ISS Production Status call. Resolution: The utility routines that determine the end of Daylight Savings Time were updated to correct and error for the calculation on the last day of Daylight Savings Time. 3) VSE-8783: VistA: Modify SDES2 CREATE APPT REQUEST to update the new duplicate reason. Problem: As an ISS scheduler, I want to be able to identify a reason that a duplicate request is being allowed when I create a new request, so that we can identify why two requests exists for the same clinic/service. Resolution: The SDES2 CREATE APPT REQUEST RPC was updated to include a new input parameter for a Duplicate Reason comment and will store this comment in the DUPLICATE REASON field (#51) in the SDEC APPT REQUEST file (#409.85). 4) VSE-8819: VistA: Modify SDES2 CREATE CLIN AVAILABILITY to add an error check. Problem: An error check needs to be added to SDES2 CREATE CLIN AVAILABILITY so that an error is produced when the availability string exceeds 80 characters. Resolution: The SDES2 CREATE CLIN AVAILABILITY RPC was updated to include an error check when the clinic availability string exceeds 80 characters. 5) VSE-8820: VS GUI: Modify the call to SDES GET MISSION ACT ELIG so that the system is passing the FileEntryDate date instead of the PID date. Problem: When attempting to drag and drop a recall appointment, the system is passing the PID date instead of the FileEntryDate which is incorrect, It should be passing the FileEntryDate date. Resolution: The VS GUI was updated to pass the PID date instead of the FileEntryDate when the user is attempting to drag and drop a recall appointment. 6) VSE-8857: VistA: Modify block and move functionality to allow a variable length appointment to be moved to another variable length clinic. Problem: Users want the ability to block and move a variable length appointment (ex. 60-minutes long in a VL clinic with a 30-minute Length of Appointment) to another variable length clinic (ex. Another VL clinic with 30-minute Length of Appointment). The resulting appointment would have the same duration as the original (60 minutes, in this example). Resolution: The Block and Move logic was updated to allow the moving of an appointment from a one variable length clinic to another variable length clinic provided the slots needed for the total length of the appointment in the destination clinic are available. Also fixed the logic in SDES2BLOCKANDMOV to correct this error: SUBSCRIPT>VALIDATEORIGSLOT+4^SDES2BLOCKANDMOV 7) VSE-8923: VistA: User is receiving a 500 error when pulling up a specific patient and has to restart ISS. Problem: A user is receiving a status code 500 error when pulling up a specific patient. Also, cannot clear, navigate, or do anything when this occurs. The user has to clear out of ISS and log back in. Resolution: The logic supporting the cancellation of an appointment was updated to remove any embedded control characters. A post-install process was included to strip the control characters from existing cancellation remarks. 8) VSE-8956: VistA: Create a Post install to cleanup control characters. Problem: Need to cleanup control characters within the notes and auditing notes of both appointment requests (APPT and Recalls) and appointments. Resolution: A post install routine will cleanup control characters within the notes and auditing notes of both appointment requests (APPT and Recalls) and appointments. 9) VSE-9060: VS GUI: GUI is allowing VVC appointments to be made in the past. Problem: When an appt date is made in the past, the user should not be able to make a Video Visit Appointment. Resolution: The VS GUI was updated to not allow the user to create a Video Visit Appointment when the date of the appointment is in the past. 10) VSE-9157: VS GUI: Errors being displayed in production when creating VVC appointments and only displaying a generic message to the user. Problem: Errors being displayed in production when creating VVC appointments and only displaying a generic message to the user. We need to capture the detailed stack trace in the GUI trace log to be able to identify the cause of the errors. Resolution: The VS GUI was updated to add logging for the Create VVC appointment process and the Edit VVC appointment process.
