Hartsel Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:51:00 -0700 (PDT)

I am a Clinical Applications Specialist for a State Hospital in WV and
we use Medsphere Systems Corporation's OpenVista CPRS. It supports
adding a patient photo in the chart. Once the image has been scanned
into the product, you see a thumbnail image in the upper left corner
of the Cover Sheet, which you can then click on to view full-size.

Chris Richardson Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:02:35 -0700

Ignacio;

It should not be difficult to do, but it is not part of the general
release. It would make a lot of sense.

I think VOE Solutions has taken a look at this and maybe made a object???
Hopefully they will see this and jar my memory.

Both our existing (and I'm afraid, not open-able) OpenVista CPRS and
new AGPL'd CIS applications include the patient photo feature. You
can see a screenshot of the patient header bar or demo it here:

David Whitten CTO WorldVistADate: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:26:38 -0500

Ben,

Is there a RPC call that is associated with the photo feature?
If someone wanted to make a corresponding change to the open source
CPRS, is there some "lessons learned" or "de facto" implementation
that should be kept in common, for the good of the community?

David

Ben Mehling Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:59:12 -0700

Hi David-

The Patient Photo enhancement was a part of the 'desktop imaging' work
done to allow directly attached images to be associated with TIU
documents.

A design goal was to use existing "MAG" related work where we could.
Some RPCs were added as necessary. Our implementation uses RPCs to
associate images and fetch image locations. The actual image upload
is handled via a secure WebDAV link and image fetching uses HTTPS.
The RPC used to fetch the patient photo is "MSCGMAG PAT PHOTOS" and is
available in our distribution if you'd like to take a look.

Since this is a log I am going to think out loud:

I am faced with a dilemma: Abandon WVEHR and change over to OpenVistA
which has the picture function now but does not have CCHIT
certification and is said to not be VA patch-stream compatible or wait
an indeterminate amount of time for the picture function to appear in
WVEHR? -- IV

As Nancy mentioned, I took a look at the COM object functionality of CPRS
and created a very simple CPRS plug-in that will display a the patient photo
just after the the patient selection is made in CPRS. It uses existing MAG
RPC's. I'll upload to the source to file section this evening.

Ben Mehling Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:07:20 -0700

Ignacio-

I'm not certain I understand the "VA patch-stream" compatible comment.
While I haven't looked in depth at patch stream used for any of the
other VistA-based distributions, if the system in question fixes bugs
or enhance functionality inside any VA packages, then some care will
need to be taken before applying vanilla VA patches. OpenVista most
certainly has both fixes to VA bugs and enhancements that would mean
the patches from the VA would need to be analyzed before application
-- this is a process we periodically perform to update our own
distribution.

I would make the assumption this is true of other distributions as well.

- Ben

David Whitten CTO WorldVistA Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:04:16 -0500

I agree with Ben.

Any person who is currently using any VistA variant (WorldVistA EHR,
Medsphere OpenVista, RPMS from IHS, Hui OpenVista) will need to
install VA patches on a regular basis. Contrary to the name, patches
rarely fix deficiencies in the system, and usually enhance the
capabilities of a package or bring it into compliance with new
regulatory requirements. Anyone who does doesn't install patches ends
up having to do all that work on their own, with the concomitant
costs of development, testing, and deployment.

Part of the process of installing a patch into a VistA system requires
an evaluation of the impact of any patch. After evaluation, the patch
can be installed directly if it doesn't overlap any local
modifications to code or data. If it does, then the patch must be
recreated taking them into account, or a new patch must be created to
put the local modifications back into the system after the patch is
installed. I know this process is a priority of WorldVistA and part of
the software services we work on.
