Overview:

VistA-Config is helpful for visualizing and catching problems for this. Key files are hospital location, ward location and room-beds. The Hospital Location file contains all the hospital locations such as Wards and Clinics. Wards apparently link from hospital location to ward location file and to beds. Room-beds are as stated and are linked to by name from the other files. If it isn't in the hospital location file things do not work right. To take a location out of the CPRS-type lists change its location to something like OTHER LOCATION versus WARD or CLINIC and it will not show in the usual CPRS lists. Out-of-Service dates are important and have to be up to date. Add/Edit Beds [DGPM BED ENTRY/EDIT], and Ward Definition Entry/Edit [DG WARD DEFINITION] are menu items that are used for the stated purpose. However, they may or may not create things in the Hospital location file correctly. show details 10/23/08 Here is a quick terminal session on getting into fileman transferring the existing WorldVistA EHR/VOE 1.0 default DR OFFICE location in the Hospital Location File and changing it to ICHS Admitting. Unfortunately, it appears as though some fields are blocked because of the clinic nature of WorldVistA EHR/VOE 1.0 so that I could not add Admitting as the type of setting:
