Subject: PENDING ELIGIBILITY STATUS

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 With the release of patch IVMB*2*849, HEC began sending records with a 
 Pending status to the sites.  An issue was identified where sites can not 
 edit the Eligibility Status and its associated fields on Screen 11 of 
 Registration when the verification source is HEC, even though the status 
 is not Verified.  This patch addresses that issue.
  
  
 ASSOCIATED Remedy Tickets:
 =========================
 HD 142171 -  Verified Elig being changed to Pending by HEC on Cat Cs
  
  
 ASSOCIATED E3R(s):
 ==================
 N/A
  
 PARTICIPATING TEST SITES:
 ========================
 Puget Sound 
 Altoona VAMC
 Madison VAMC
  
  
 Problem:
 =======
 Currently, information related to eligibility status under item #1 on
 Screen 11 of Registration can not be edited when the Eligibility Verif.
 Source is HEC.  This prevents a site from editing the fields in item #1
 even when the Eligibility Status is not Verified.  The affected options
 are Register a Patient [DG REGISTER PATIENT] and Load/Edit Patient Data
 [DG LOAD PATIENT DATA].
  
 Solution:
 =========
 The routine DGRPV was modified so that editing information under item #1 
 on Screen 11 will be prevented only when Verif. Source is HEC AND 
 Eligibility Status is Verified.
  
  
 Problem:
 ========
 When an incoming message has an enrollment status of PENDING; ELIGIBILITY 
 STATUS IS UNVERIFIED or PENDING; NO ELIGIBILITY CODE, there is a check to 
 see if the patient has a Verified eligibility and is either NSC or SC 0% 
 non-compensable, and if so, the message will not be uploaded. The code
 doing the check was using the External (NAME) value of the ELIGIBILITY
 CODE file (#8), which can be edited at the sites.  So it would be possible
 that a site would have different values for the Eligibility Codes used for
 the check.
  
  
 Solution:
 =========
 Locally added entries are allowed in ELIGIBILITY CODE file (#8), but
 each entry points to a corresponding entry in the MAS ELIGIBILITY CODE
 file (#8.1). Since facilities are prohibited from adding entries to file
 #8.1, the system will now use the file #8 entry only to look up its
 corresponding entry in file #8.1.  Then the internal entry number (IEN) of
 the file #8.1 entry will be used to determine the patient's eligibility
 code. This should make the process more reliable as it will no longer be
 affected by local entries in file #8.  The standard entries in the MAS 
 ELIGIBILITY CODE file #8.1 are:
  
 1             SERVICE CONNECTED 50% to 100%
 2             AID & ATTENDANCE
 3             SC LESS THAN 50%
 4             NSC, VA PENSION

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
 ===========================
 This patch may be installed with users on the system but it is recommended
 that it be run during non peak hours.  
    
 Before starting the load of this patch, you may wish to stop the HL7 
 filers prior to the install to prevent possible 'No Source Errors' from
 occurring.  No transmissions will be lost if the filers are not stopped
 first as those encountering an error will be reprocessed once the filers
 are restarted.
  
  
 Installation will take less than 2 minutes.
  
 1.  Use the INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE option on the PackMan menu to unload
     the KIDS distribution included with this message.
  
     NOTE:  If the required patches are not installed, the transport global
            will be removed.  If the transport global is removed you will
            need to repeat this step.
  
 2   From the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu, select
     the Installation menu.
  
 3.  From this menu, you may elect to use the following options
     (when prompted for INSTALL NAME, enter DG*5.3*716):
     a.  Compare Transport Global to Current System  - this option will
         allow you to view all changes that will be made when the patch
         is installed.  It compares all components of the patch (routines,
         DDs, templates, etc.).
     b.  Verify Checksums in Transport Global - this option will
         allow you to ensure the integrity of the routines that are in
         the transport global.
     c.  Print Transport Global - this option will allow you to view the
         components of the KIDS build.
     d.  Backup a Transport Global - This option will create a backup
         message of any routines exported with this patch. It will not
         backup any other changes such as DD's or templates.
  
 4.  Use the Install Package(s) option and select the package DG*5.3*716.
  
 5.  When prompted 'Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONs during the install?
     YES//', respond NO.
  
 6.  When prompted 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and 
     Protocols? NO//', respond Yes.
     When prompted,'Enter options you wish to mark as 'Out Of Order':',
     enter:
       Register a Patient               [DG REGISTER PATIENT]
       Load/Edit Patient Data           [DG LOAD PATIENT DATA]         
  
     When prompted,'Enter protocols you wish to mark as 'Out Of Order':', 
     hit enter.
  
 7.  When the patch has been completely installed, be sure to re-start the 
     HL7 filers if you chose to stop them.
