============================================================================= Run Date: FEB 23, 2005 Designation: DVBA*2.7*71 Package : DVBA - AUTOMATED MED INFO EXCHANGE Priority: Mandatory Version : 2.7 SEQ #77 Status: Released Compliance Date: MAR 26, 2005 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)DVBA*2.7*57 <<= must be installed BEFORE `DVBA*2.7*71' Subject: CAPRI GUI UPDATE Category: - Enhancement (Mandatory) - Informational Description: ============ This informational patch has been released to announce an update to the CAPRI GUI executable. This new version of CAPRI provides enhancements to both the Compensation and Pension Worksheet Module (previously added in patch DVBA*2.7*66) and to the administrative functions used by VBA. The CAPRI application was originally implemented to expedite the VBA claims process by creating a more efficient means of requesting C&P examinations and navigating through existing patient records to fulfill the evidentiary requirements of a disability claim. It handles most administrative aspects of the examination process. With the addition of the Compensation and Pension Worksheet Module (CPWM) in patch DVBA*2.7*66, CAPRI has make its official introduction into the medical center. The CAPRI GUI will need to be installed on the desktops of all VHA staff involved in the C&P process - from the examiner actually performing C&P examinations to the administrative clerk responsible for coordinating the exam processing. Because of its integration with TIU and CPRS, the site's Clinical Application Coordinator (CAC) will need to be familiar with the new CAPRI CPWM functionality and may also choose to have it installed as well. CAPRI CPWM TRAINING =================== The National Training and Education Office (NT&EO) has created the following CAPRI CPWM training website to provide you with information, video demonstrations and materials to support your understanding of the Compensation and Pension Worksheet Module: "http://vaww.vistau.med.va.gov/vistau/capri/default.htm" This web site will be periodically updated with new information, links and other materials to support the use of CAPRI CPWM at your site.

SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION RETRIEVAL ==================================== Software and documentation files may be retrieved using FTP. FILE NAME DESCRIPTION ---------------------- ------------------------------------------------- DVBA_27_71A.ZIP The standard CAPRI version used by both VHA and VBA users. CAPRI_CPWM_UG.ZIP CAPRI VHA User Guide The files listed above may be obtained via FTP. The preferred method is to FTP the files from: download.vista.med.va.gov. This transmits the files from the first available FTP server. Sites may also elect to retrieve software directly from a specific server as follows: CIO FIELD OFFICE FTP ADDRESS DIRECTORY ---------------- ------------------------ -------------------- Albany ftp.fo-albany.med.va.gov [anonymous.software] Hines ftp.fo-hines.med.va.gov [anonymous.software] Salt Lake City ftp.fo-slc.med.va.gov [anonymous.software] *Note: Files must be transferred in binary mode. USER ACCESS TO CAPRI ==================== The CAPRI GUI follows all standards for VistA applications. Users must have a valid VistA user account to access any VistA application. Additionally, in order to gain access to the CAPRI application, and more specifically the CPWM portion of CAPRI, each user will need to be assigned the VistA menu option and security keys outlined below. Please refer to the CAPRI CPWM User Guide for details on the functionality controlled by the assigning of the menu option and security keys. VistA Menu Option ----------------- All CAPRI users need the following menu option assigned as their secondary menu option or as an item on their primary menu. DVBA CAPRI GUI - This is the option context to the main CAPRI application. All CAPRI users will need this menu option assigned. VistA Security Keys ------------------- All CAPRI users that will be accessing the C&P Worksheet Module will need at least two and potentially three security keys assigned. It is important that the IRM staff coordinate with the C&P clinic to determine what keys each user should receive. The assigning of keys will affect local procedures. The majority of users will only need two new keys. The users designated to act as Reviewers will need the additional Reviewer key. 1. DVBA CAPRI WORKSHEET TAB - This key makes the C&P Worksheets tab visible inside CAPRI. All CAPRI users that will be involved in the processing of the C&P templates should get this key. 2. One of the following keys should be assigned to all users assigned the previous key. Before assigning the keys, it is important that the functions of these keys be understood as they allow whether or not that user has the ability to sign and complete a template. See the Review Functionality section of the User Guide for more details on the reviewer processes. Only ONE of these keys should be assigned due to the conflicting functionality supported by each: a. DVBAB CPWM DISALLOW REVIEW - User does not need and can not have their examination templates reviewed prior to release. Should only be assigned at sites that will not be implementing the reviewer process. This allows the user to directly release their examination in AMIE. b. DVBAB CPWM OPTIONAL REVIEW - User can choose to either send an examination template for review or sign and release the template themselves. This key will typically be assigned to a user who needs some, but not all, of their examinations reviewed before they're released. c. DVBAB CPWM REQUIRE REVIEW - User must have all examination templates reviewed by a reviewer prior to signing and can not release any examinations until approved by the reviewer. 3. If the site chooses to use the review process (meaning either the OPTIONAL REVIEW or REQUIRE REVIEW key has been assigned to anyone) at least one user must be designated as a Reviewer and be assigned the DVBAB CPWM REVIEWER key. It is expected that if the Reviewer process is implemented at a site, that multiple people will be assigned this key to cover for cases where the primary reviewer is unavailable.
