The Home page is the first page that the user is directed to after logging into the application. This page provides information about when the last update to the First DataBank DIF database tables occurred and also when the last customization update file was created. The purpose of the Home page is to provide the user with summary counts of the number of active customization records that the user can access.
The Home page is organized into six panels. The display of a panel to the user is dependent upon the role of the user. Users in the "Requestor" role are shown only the "My Request History" panel. Users in the "Approver" role are shown all available panels. The counts are organized by the action (Review/Approve/Delete) the user can perform on the customization records for each concept type (Professional Monograph, Dose Range, Drug-Drug Interaction and Duplicate Therapy). Additionally, the Home page provides details on the status of any active customization records that the user may have entered into the system (My Request History). This allows the user to track their own requests through the approval process.
Clicking on the link to the number of records under each panel (if more than '0') will redirect the user to the Advanced Query/Customization tab with the "Build a Query" panel displaying the fields, filters and values that were queried against, in order to obtain the results showing in the "VA Table Results" panel. The "VA Table Results" panel contains the active records that match the items for the count displayed on the Home page.
VA Customization records are created by Requestors or Approvers and at creation are given an Action Status value of "New". They can be updated after creation and if so, will systematically have their Action Status value set to "Modified". A new or modified customization record can be either "Rejected" or "Reviewed". An Approver must be the one to actually review the record and mark it as "Reviewed". Once a VA customization record is reviewed, a second/different Approver must also review the record and can then mark it as "Approved".
After the point of approval, the VA customization can go on to be Modified after the approval and then Reviewed after the approval. Or they can be Delete reviewed and then Deleted after the approval. After the point of deletion, they can go on to be Modified or Reviewed after the Delete and then subsequently, can be Approved again.
Once a VA customization is "Approved" it is included in the custom update file generated from PECS and sent to the National PECS database for dissemination out to the field. Once a VA customization is "Deleted" it is included in the custom update file generated from PECS and sent to the National PECS database for dissemination out to the field and marked as such in their local PECS instances, so users know the VA customization is not to be used (as its Approval was revoked).
