============================================================================= Run Date: OCT 13, 2004 Designation: RA*5*52 Package : RA - RADIOLOGY/NUCLEAR MEDICINE Priority: Mandatory Version : 5 SEQ #44 Status: Released Compliance Date: NOV 13, 2004 ============================================================================= Subject: Update VistA RIS client protocol receiving reports via TCP/IP Category: - Informational Description: ============ The following information is only relevant at OpenVMS/Cache sites that integrate Agfa TalkStation or Dictaphone PowerScribe speech recognition systems with version 5.0 of VistA Radiology/Nuclear Medicine. To ensure the reliability of TalkStation or PowerScribe on an OpenVMS/Cache system, we recommend updating the LOGICAL LINK (#770.7) field for the vendor specific protocol in the PROTOCOL (#101) file. The protocol is 'RA TALKLINK TCP REPORT' for sites running TalkStation, and is 'RA PSCRIBE TCP REPORT' for sites running PowerScribe. The procedure to be followed when editing logical link information associated with a protocol is documented below. The procedure in the example uses a TalkStation protocol but the same procedure should be followed for editing a PowerScribe specific protocol. In our examples, we will use the logical link names exported by the VistA Radiology/Nuclear Medicine application. For the TalkStation application we have exported RA-TALK and TALK-RA. For the PowerScribe application we have exported RA-PSCRIBE and PSCRIBE-RA. Your site may have named them differently, so be alert to which logical links you should change. For TalkStation, the current logical link associated with the RA TALKLINK TCP REPORT client protocol is TALK-RA. The new logical link value will be 'VAxxx' where the 'VAxxx' is the name of the multi-listener at your site. For example, the Hines VA has the multi-listener defined as 'VAHIN'. Questions regarding the multi-listener should be referred to your facility's IRM staff. STEP 1. SHUT DOWN TALKSTATION/POWERSCRIBE AND APPROPRIATE LINKS For TALKSTATION: a. Shutdown the TalkStation application. b. on the OpenVMS/Cache side, shutdown both logical links: 'TALK-RA' and 'RA-TALK' For POWERSCRIBE: a. Shutdown the PowerScribe application. b. on the OpenVMS/Cache side, shutdown both logical links: 'PSCRIBE-RA' and 'RA-PSCRIBE' STEP 2.

STEP 3. EDIT TALKSTATION/POWERSCRIBE'S SYSTEM FILE For TALKSTATION: The TalkStation Administrator must use the 'RisHL7' tab on the 'TalkStationLink Properties' dialog box, to change the IP address and Transmit port definitions to correspond to the site's multi-listener. Do NOT change the Order port definition. For POWERSCRIBE version 2.2: The PowerScribe Administrator must use PowerScribe's 'HL7 Communications' configuration folder, to change the IP address and port definitions to correspond to the site's multi-listener. To navigate to the 'HL7 Communications' folder, first access the 'PowerScribe Administrator' dialog box. After you select the 'Systems' tab and click on the 'Advanced' button to bring up the 'Systems Parameters' box, you will need to select the 'HL7 Communications' folder on the left hand side of the dialogue box. This will then display the available parameters, including the 'RIS Server IP' and 'RIS Server IP Port' parameters under this folder on the right hand side. For POWERSCRIBE versions 3.0A, & 4.6: The PowerScribe Administrator must access PowerScribe's 'Setup Xpress' application to change the IP address and port definitions to correspond to the site's multi-listener. To navigate to the 'Setup Xpress' application, first access the 'PowerScribe Interface' dialog box. Then you select the 'Setup Xpress' application button in the top left side of the open window. This will open the 'Setup Xpress' dialog box, click on the 'Upload Connection Wizard' button and click on the 'Next' button. You will have accessed the 'Upload From Socket To Socket' dialog box. This will then display the following text boxes; 'RIS/HIS IP' and 'Port'. After entering 'RIS/HIS IP' and 'Port' information, click on the 'finish' button, close the 'SetupXpress' application, stop and restart the 'PowerXpress' application to have the changes take effect. STEP 4. START UP TALKSTATION/POWERSCRIBE AND ONLY THE VISTA OUTBOUND LINKS For TALKSTATION: a. Startup the TalkStation application. b. on the OpenVMS/Cache side, startup only logical link: 'RA-TALK' For POWERSCRIBE: a. Startup the PowerScribe application. b. on the OpenVMS/Cache side, startup only logical link: 'RA-PSCRIBE' Related NOIS: ------------- TAM-0704-31166 RIC-0604-21756 Documentation ------------- There are no documentation changes associated with this patch.
