They are waiting for the Lab UI to be moved to using VistA HL v1.6 interfaces. We currently have a project underway to effect that upgrade. We have the software developed and are working with the various vendors to insure their systems work with the v1.6 messaging paradigm. Once the interface issues are resolved we intend to beginning alpha/beta testing with VA facilities. When that testing is complete then a Lab patch will be issued to upgrade the Lab UI to HL v1.6 interfaces. We are developing the lab patch to allow the patch to be installed and the site to migrate the current interfaces in an orderly fashion.Charles G Lambrecht/HOSPOPS/VET/UTIA wrote:John, Thanks for the info.

If the test profile for the new instrument is the same as the old then you can use the existing file #60 tests. You may need to add/remove tests from any panel test that is used as an orderable test. Create a new entry in the auto instrument file #62.4 for the new instrument and configure it appropriately with the test characteristics for the new instrument - result tests the instrument transmits and test codes the instrument sends (UI Test Code). You can use your existing entry for the Celldyne as a template.You can use the existing load/list file (#62.8). Just adjust for any new tests that the new instrument supports which the old instrument did not. With the release of patch LR*5.2*286 you can use the same tests (file #60) and datanames (file #63) for the results. Just change the units/normals if any for the new instrument. LR*5.2*286 retrieves the units/normals stored with the results from file #63 instead of using the values from file #60 when reporting/displaying test results. When the results are verified the units/normals specified in file #60 for the test/specimen are copied and stored with the results. The one "gotcha" here is if you are using a file #63 data name that have results for specimens that are several years old and predate the storing of units/normals. When old results are accessed which do not have the units/normals stored with the results, the software retrieves the current units normals from file#60 for the related test.This assumes your running a currently patch VistA system, i..e your current on the released Laboratory patches and have not implemented local changes (Class III) to any of the lab verifying software.You may want to review the documentation for the Lab UI patch (LA*5.2*27).Steven Cuneo/HOSPOPS/VET/UTIA wrote: HiRight now our Celldyne is interfaced to a Data Innovations box.

Re: [Hardhats-members] HHS buys Novell
I understand that now, but last I heard government agencies weren't in the business of buying out software vendors. I was referring to the subject line, and my reaction to it before reading the article. Actually, I thought it was rather clever. === Gregory Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] A practical man is a man who practices the errors of his forefathers. -- Benjamin Disraeli On Jun 4, 2005, at 10:40 AM, Joseph Dal Molin wrote: U.S. Health Department Signs Major Linux Deal With Novell The deal gives Health and Human Services employees unlimited access to a range of Novell products, but there's no plan to unseat Microsoft software By Marianne Kolbasuk McGee, InformationWeek June 1, 2005 URL: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml? articleID=163702338 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
