PFSS patches are being released on various schedules. Some patch functionality will not be active until a new PFSS switch is activated during final implementation. PFSS will initially be implemented at select pilot sites ONLY. The purpose of the PFSS project is to prepare the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) environment for the implementation of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) billing replacement system. The project consists of the implementation of the billing replacement system, business process improvements, and enhancements to VistA to support integration with the COTS billing replacement system. Significant changes to VistA legacy systems and ancillary packages are necessary. These PFSS software components are not operational until the PFSS On/Off Switch, distributed with patch IB*2*260, is set to "ON". The ability for the local site to set the switch to "ON" will be provided at the appropriate time with the release of a subsequent Integrated Billing patch. For more information about the PFSS project, review the documentation accompanying this patch and refer to the following website: http://vista.med.va.gov/billreplace/ Functional Description ====================== EAS*1*67 provides an enhancement for the Enrollment Application System package to support HL7 queries for a determination of a patient's Long Term Care (LTC) status and monthly maximum amounts that can be charged to a patient. There are no user interface changes as all HL7 processing and messaging is done by background jobs triggered by the HL7 package. Technical Description ===================== EASPFSS is a new routine to process inbound HL7 messages. It will parse the message, calculate the patient's LTC status and file the data in the new EAS LTC MONTHLY MAX CALCULATIONS (#714.5) file. This file is used to store the response to the remote system to be prepared by the VISTA Data Extraction Framework (VDEF) package.
