Subject: REMOTE QUERY FAILS DUE TO BOGUS SSN

Category: 
  - Routine

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

  RG*1.0*20 is a required build for patch RG*1*37.
     
  NOTE:  RG* and MPIF* patches should NOT be installed on legacy
  systems to avoid issues with the legacy systems ending up as
  Coordinating Master of Records (CMORs) or Treating Facilities.
     
  Every month the Master Patient Index/Patient Demographics (MPI/PD)
  team sends a remote query from the Master Patient Index (MPI)
  to all facilities to gather statistical data.  One of the things
  the query does is detect instances where a patient's social security
  number (SSN) does not have the proper cross-references.  If this
  occurs (and checks are made to be sure the cross-references do not
  exist for a different patient), then a call is made to create the
  cross-references.  This has been the practice for a long time.
  Recently, however, changes in which patients are transmitted to the
  MPI for an Integration Control Number (ICN) assignment have been
  enhanced, and some of these patients have no date of birth.  If, in
  addition, a pseudo-SSN has been assigned to one of these patients,
  a bogus SSN is created (4 characters).  See the example below.
  
  MPI/PD Data for: SMITH,JOHN  (DFN #XXXX)
  Printed Aug 06, 2004@09:16 at VAMC
  ====================================================================
  SSN    : 807P                           ICN : 5210012345
  Sex    : MALE                           CMOR: BIRMINGHAM VAMC
  Claim #: None                           Local Activity Score  : None
  Date of Birth:                          Subscription Control #: None
  
  The invalid SSN causes the following error when an attempt is made
  to re-index the patient.
  
  $ZE= IX+1^DIE1:6, %DSM-E-NULLSUBSCR, Null subscript
  S ^DPT("BS",$E(X,6,9),DA)=""
  Last Global Ref: ^DPT("BS","")
  X=807P
  
  This error causes the remote query to fail.  A coding change in routine 
  RGMTUT02 corrects the problem.
   
  NOTE: The issue of the creation of the bogus SSN has been turned over
  to the Registration maintenance developers for correction.
