When you actually register your test patient, it might be helpful to you to know some information and terminology. All test patients in the VistA system at the VA are given social security numbers beginning with 5 zeros. These are recognized as test patients and automatically excluded from any uploads to central patient directories. Patients may also be given pseudo social security numbers in some circumstances, for instance, when the SS number is not known.

Information about PSEUDO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS can be found by typing ?? at the prompt to enter the social security number when you are registering a patient. If you just enter a number followed by a P, that will also give you more information as the system will admonish you for not doing it right and tell you what to do. If you still don't do it correctly, the Pseudo SS number will be generated for you.

The most important fields used in keeping track of patients in the VA are the NAME, SS#, DOB (Date of Birth) and (DFN - file number of some sort??). If you follow this convention, it is likely to help you utilize the more advanced features for finding patients in other clinics, etc., if you ever utilize this system in a grand scale. It is also recommended that auditing be done AT LEAST of changes in these fields and SEX. (Auditing is discussed later on in this document.)

When registering a new patient, an attempt will be made to access the MPI (Master Patient Index) which, for the VA, is a centralized master patient file in Austin, Texas. You will also see mention of the CMOR (Coordinating Master of Record), which is the main site where a patient receives care and where the main record of the patient is maintained. There is also the ICN - the Integration Control Number - which is like a patient number that can be assigned locally or where the Master Patient Index is maintained (i.e., Austin for the VA).

You may simply register a patient using this assigned menu, but because it may not be desirable to use social security numbers for patient identifiers within a medical care system, documentation of how to install the Master Patient Index system short of actually having it contact Austin , Texas follows. This will allow for the generation of ICNs that have the first 3 numbers as identifiers of the location where the patient was registered. This would be useful with a medical care system with multiple clinics, etc., as it might help to keep track of patients from various clinics if they are gathered in one central database. This is the equivalent of installing the test account for the Clinical Information Resource Network - Patient Demographics (CIRN-PD) and the Master Patient Index (MPI).

Installing the test account is the same as installing the full system except that the patch HL*1.6*39 is not installed. That is the patch that actually allows the system to contact Austin, Texas where the central VA Master Patient index is maintained. HL*1.6*39 must not be installed or your system will sending unwanted information to the VA MPI in Austin.

Beginning right on page 1 of the manual, you will need to check the patch level of various packages listed to be sure they are patched as they should be. Vista Platinum is patched to the current level in almost all packages, so this is unlikely to be a problem, but you will need to check. This is done by assigning yourself the XPD PRINT PACKAGE PATCHES, or Display Patches for a Package as a Secondary Menu. Assuming you have followed the prior documentation and are now the SM or "Manager, System" with all of the keys assigned, you will assign this menu to yourself in the New Person file, secondary menu field as follows (except the KIDS synonym may already be entered for you):

On page 1 and 2 is a table with a list of the packages and patches. You will need to go into the programmers prompt, select the secondary menu and list the patches for the patches. The tricky part is how you ask for the packages. In the order that they appear, I have listed what you type in to get the package you want at the prompt "Select PACKAGE NAME." There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to whether you need to enter the package namespace like XT or whether you enter a name like Clinical Info Resource Network. The table below has the VA Application name on the left and what you need to type at the prompt on the right. The way to figure out what to try is to look at the file custody document and the namespaces document in the software directory on ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/software .

Notes Adding a Menu to Register a Patient Overview of Registering a Patient Installing CIRN and the MPI Infrastructure


Editor's Notes:

This was sent to me by Nancy Anthracite. I was searching for a way to register a patient--i.e. how to add a new patient to the system. She wrote "Kevin - I think this stuff may already be installed, but the second section will explain some of what you want to know. -Nancy".

These example scripts are run on a Cache' system. I assume that the steps will be applicable to GT.M

 Assigning a Menu to Register a Patient

[Back to Contents]


In order to register a patient, you can use your powers as System Manager with all of the keys to do it, but instead, you can set up a Director of Admissions who has the ability to work with the MASTER PATIENT INDEX/PATIEND DEMOGRAPHICS (MPI/PD) system and register a patient. This Director of Admissions was give access to three menus as indicated below, the last of which allows registration of a patient. Throughout this document BOLD RED indicates user input.

Overview of Registering a Patient


[Back to Contents]

When you actually register your test patient, it might be helpful to you to know some information and terminology. All test patients in the VistA system at the VA are given social security numbers beginning with 5 zeros. These are recognized as test patients and automatically excluded from any uploads to central patient directories. Patients may also be given pseudo social security numbers in some circumstances, for instance, when the SS number is not known.

Information about PSEUDO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS can be found by typing ?? at the prompt to enter the social security number when you are registering a patient. If you just enter a number followed by a P, that will also give you more information as the system will admonish you for not doing it right and tell you what to do. If you still don't do it correctly, the Pseudo SS number will be generated for you.

The most important fields used in keeping track of patients in the VA are the NAME, SS#, DOB (Date of Birth) and (DFN - file number of some sort??). If you follow this convention, it is likely to help you utilize the more advanced features for finding patients in other clinics, etc., if you ever utilize this system in a grand scale. It is also recommended that auditing be done AT LEAST of changes in these fields and SEX. (Auditing is discussed later on in this document.)

When registering a new patient, an attempt will be made to access the MPI (Master Patient Index) which, for the VA, is a centralized master patient file in Austin, Texas. You will also see mention of the CMOR (Coordinating Master of Record), which is the main site where a patient receives care and where the main record of the patient is maintained. There is also the ICN - the Integration Control Number - which is like a patient number that can be assigned locally or where the Master Patient Index is maintained (i.e., Austin for the VA).

You may simply register a patient using this assigned menu, but because it may not be desirable to use social security numbers for patient identifiers within a medical care system, documentation of how to install the Master Patient Index system short of actually having it contact Austin , Texas follows. This will allow for the generation of ICNs that have the first 3 numbers as identifiers of the location where the patient was registered. This would be useful with a medical care system with multiple clinics, etc., as it might help to keep track of patients from various clinics if they are gathered in one central database. This is the equivalent of installing the test account for the Clinical Information Resource Network - Patient Demographics (CIRN-PD) and the Master Patient Index (MPI).

Installing the test account is the same as installing the full system except that the patch HL*1.6*39 is not installed. That is the patch that actually allows the system to contact Austin, Texas where the central VA Master Patient index is maintained. HL*1.6*39 must not be installed or your system will sending unwanted information to the VA MPI in Austin.

The installation of this system is documented in the Clinical Information Resource Network Patient Demographiscs (CIRN-PD) and Master Patient Indes (MPI) Installation and Implementation Guide, Version 2, Package Version 1.0, August 2000, Draft which can be found at : http://www.va.gov/vdl/VistA_Lib/Infrastructure/Master_Patient_Index_(MPI)/rg1_0_ig2.doc a.k.a

You will need to obtain these instructions as this document is made to supplement that document to allow "newbies" to use the official instructions.


Checking the Patch Level [back]

Beginning right on page 1 of the manual, you will need to check the patch level of various packages listed to be sure they are patched as they should be. Vista Platinum is patched to the current level in almost all packages, so this is unlikely to be a problem, but you will need to check. This is done by assigning yourself the XPD PRINT PACKAGE PATCHES, or Display Patches for a Package as a Secondary Menu. Assuming you have followed the prior documentation and are now the SM or "Manager, System" with all of the keys assigned, you will assign this menu to yourself in the New Person file, secondary menu field as follows (except the KIDS synonym may already be entered for you):

Description:


==

Installation of patch RGED*2.6*1 is OPTIONAL.


Extensible Editor 2.6 was initially released to support


functionality within Master Patient Index/Patient Demographics


(MPI/PD) 1.0. The dependencies by MPI/PD on the Extensible Editor


product have been eliminated. All formal integration agreements


have been retired. Extensible Editor 2.6 is no longer supported


nationally, making it Class II software. If you choose to do so,


you can install patch RGED*2.6*1 to remove the Extensible Editor


package from VistA. This is a local decision, and the installation


of this patch is OPTIONAL.


It is STRONGLY recommended that all facilities install this patch.


The Extensible Editor application contains a global that has embedded


control characters. This violates the VA Standards and Conventions


(SAC) and it is also in violation of the current ANSI MDC X11.1


Portability Standards.

Checking for RG* Globals [back]


The next job is to see if you need to place the RG* globals in the system. For this, check in Cache explorer to see if they are there. The following screen captures show how that is done.


Go to the Cache Cube, Click on Cache explorer, choose namespace VISTA and then Globals.





Now expand the list of globals by clicking on it and look for the RG* globals (^RGSITE, ^RGHL7, ^RGEQASN, RGEQEXC, ^RGSTAT, and ^RGEQ). You will see that in this version of VistA Platinum, they are present, but they are not mapped to a namespace because they are already in the vista namespace where they need to be. I have selected them in the screen capture below to make it easier to see.




Unmapping routines [back]


Next you are asked to find out if any of the routines listed on page 5 of the manual are mapped. This is not necessary to do that for Cache on Windows.


Journaling [back]


On page 5 you are asked to turn off journaling for ^RG* during the installation and then re-enabled. You are also advised to read patch HL*1.6*52 recommendations about global journaling. This is how that is done in Cache.


Locate the Namespace where ^RG* is translated. This will display whether journaling is enabled or not. Note Jrn column for Journaling. This will show listings for 300+ globals. Excerpts are shown below.

To later turn Journaling on or off, use D ^%JOURNAL and enable/disable journaling as needed. In this case, Journaling was already disabled so no change was made when a request was made to disable it.

Find the Value of a Field in a File [back]


Another task you will be asked to do is to find the contents of File #870, Field #21. This turns out not to be as simple an exercise as it might seem. At first blush, one might just decide to use the entry point D Q^DI, inquire into the contents of file 870 and then field 21. This is an excerpt of what you happen when you do that.

You need to find out what the entry is for your site, and at the moment, you do not have a location number for this job site because you presumably are not at VA hospital of clinic. This is NOT the same number you assigned in step 78 and 79 of Chapter 1 of the installation instructions. Notice that the next to the last entry is XUMF TEST. You can use this for now and add your site as an entry later. What follows is the output you will get for XUMF TEST if you say YES to STANDARD CAPTION OUTPUT.
