RPMS runs on a variety of OS/Hardware set ups - Most are Cache' Windows/Intel or Cache' AIX but there are some Cache' Linux/Intel systems : State of Alaska Public Health Nursing, Shiprock, etc. I know there is an interesting OS X project going on in Phoenix. The IHS programmers worked very hard to get RPMS back to the most recent versions of Fileman/Kernel from VHA - there some issues where there wasn't backward compatibility and one of the RPMS packages required programming to work with Fileman 23. Because IHS's IT budget is very small and their allocations are frequently cut, they have to be very creative with their IT budgets.

what is the input transform on the HRN Field? I mean does it increase/decrease the number of digits, a specific logical transformation...?

If you make the SSN optional or do not use it then the two files will not stay in synch. IHS does it a different way. They keep the two files in >synch with the file 2 look up routines (the routines with the names AUPNLK*).
Tried to locate the routine (AUPNLK ) could not find anything of that sort in the OpenVista SemiViva 4.0 which we are using. We presume that this contains all the FOIA routines. In which case the routines are only available in the IHS system.
So that means that the SSN will have to be maintained (to play it safe), though it may not be used by a hospital, which would use the HRN. In such a case, can we generate the HRN using a M routine (Generally Hospitals like to have their own sequence for patients numbers with respect to their status i.e. private patient, general patient, etc.) or are there other criteria for gernerating the HRN?

I wish we can have a local implementation of RPMS. I have tried to look at the page www.ihs.gov/Cio/RPMS/index.cfm provided by Marc Aylesworth. I have not understood how one can go about the installation of RPMS? I mean, you can only download the .zip/.tar files as per your module selection from the site. How do we proceed then?
RPMS apparently has not been implemented on GT.M. How does one install it on Cache? Does one have to use UNIX (again which flavor of UNIX) or can it be installed using Cache on Linux or Windows?
What is the meaning of Vanilla VA Fileman and Kernel? This is apparently needed for RPMS installation. If so how does one get hold of it?
Is there any way of atleast going thru a demo of the IHS system if I can't have it setup here locally?

Unfortunately I do not work with RPMS anymore. I believe that the record number can be different from the SSN but am unsure how to achieve it SORRYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna,
I don't know how this system works. I wonder if Marc A., who I believe works with the IHS system, could explain this.
