Subject: UPDATE DATA SEGMENT API

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 This patch provides a new application programming interface (API) 
 UPDSEG^VAQUTL50 for use by the Health Summary package. Health Summary 
 components are associated with data segments. When a Health Summary 
 component is modified through a national patch distribution, Health 
 Summary will use this API to update the corresponding data segment. This 
 new API does not impact end-user functionality.

 New Service Requests (NSRs):
 NSR 20150414 Sexual Orientation Identify
 This request includes the creation of a new demographic field
 for self-identified sexual orientation identity that links with all 
 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data systems. Veterans Health 
 Administration (VHA) policy on the lesbian, gay, and bisexual population 
 is currently being developed. At present we cannot identify the number of 
 lesbian, gay, and bisexual Veterans enrolled in VA or what their clinical 
 needs are. Such a field would allow VA to know the prevalence of enrolled 
 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual identified Veterans in VA. VA 
 could track service utilization and health outcomes based on sexual 
 orientation identity and could design clinical programs to address health 
 disparities experienced by lesbian, gay, and bisexual Veterans. Inclusion 
 of this information as a demographic field is the current trend in non-VA 
 healthcare systems. The Joint Commission now mandates services for 
 lesbian, gay, and bisexual Veterans, but VA cannot identify the number of 
 lesbian, gay, and bisexual Veterans or what their clinical needs are via 
 current databases.
