Re: [Hardhats-members] IHS system???

Wed, 20 Apr 2005 08:59:38 -0700

I believe the input transform on the HRN field is for a max of 6 digits.  I thought that some version of the AUPNLK* routines were included in the VistA FOIA.  The lastest can be obtained from the IHS FOIA.  It would be possible for a hospital to put their own patient id's into the HRN field as long as they are numbers no more than 6 digits long. 
 
If you have Cache installed on a Windows machine you should be able to load it onto Cache.  I do not know about untaring (if that is the right term) without Unix or Linux. 
 
I was trying to say that IHS uses unmodified versions of VA Fileman and Kernel.

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 are not going use SSN you need a different way to keep files 2 and 9000001 in synch.  The cross reference (something like PX09) is how the VA software keeps >the two files in synch.  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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks,

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.

Are these patients that you entered, or are they sample patients?  What number do they have entered?  Is it a SSN?

Yes did just check out the file. Surprising to find that all patients have a
health record number assigned to them! Does this then mean that to have an
implementation of the IHS software you need to apply their patches to a
VistA core?Can that be done on the GT.M database itself?
Wonder if anyone here has ever tried it or has an idea of how we can install
it and how it works?
