Glossary- CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System - hardly meaningful acronym anymore)

  • CPRS is the Provider Interface for the Main Display of the Patient Record and
  • Entry of new Record information

Both GUI and Dialog versions of CPRS exist in the VistA System.

The GUI version of CPRS is a

    • Multi-Screen/ Multiple-Tab View of a Single Patients Record
      • Tabs Represent the eight or nine different clinical Views
      • Tabs are (unconventionally) on the Bottom of each Screen
      • Each Tab/Screen has multiple Sub-windows, for simultaneous View/Editing capabilities
      • Many Pop-Up Windows occur, to gather inputs, for example when user hits New Problem Button
    • Menu Drop Down Options provide further functions, varying some across tabs(WIndows)
    • The GUI is written as a client program, currently limited to Window Clients
      • The Current Version is written in Pascal and Delphi
      • An Internet Demo is running at VA.gov CPRS Demo DownLoad A client-CPRS is Downloaded and run on Windows with a Demo Internet Server
    • The GUI CPRS interacts with the MUMPS Server/FileMan via RPC Broker Subsystem
      • to query the database for existing patient data,
      • to obtain code-tables limiting values/choices and
      • saving revised or newly created data elements, edited in the GUI CPRS by users, back to the FIleMan Database for the patient.

There is also (still) a dialog version of the same functionality

    • This is entered by FileMan Menu Options
    • Documentation, does not always easily distinguish between these very different interfaces, both called CPRS.
