Re: [Hardhats-members] What is SERVICE/SECTION and TREATING SPECIALTY

[James Gray]

Within the VA what most of the rest of the English speaking world would call a department, the VA calls a Service.  Sub-departments are called Sections.  So Sections are subsets of the services.   Jim Gray ----- Original Message ----- From: Usha To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 5:39 AM Subject: [Hardhats-members] What is SERVICE/SECTION and TREATING SPECIALTY What does the SERVICE/SECTION field specify for a NEW PERSON? And how to specify the specialty of a provider?   What does TREATING SPECIALTY file contain? Which one of them (or a third one) holds the specialty of a clinic or ward? If TREATING SECIALITY is the one, then TREATING SPECIALTY SET-UP option does not allow adding of new specialties (it comes to the GT.M prompt).       Regards Usha
