Miscellaneous CAPRI Functionality

Edit Exam List Parameters

The menu option Edit Exam List Parameter (MAS) is under Tools on the CAPRI menu bar. Exam List Parameter (MAS) is a tool used by sites to define which exams are performed at a division. When an exam request is made via the C&P exams tab, the exam list displays exams as performed or not performed in a division according to this definition.

Figure 2-166

 

The Security Key Edit Exam List Parameter (MAS) should be assigned to the MAS ADPAC, C&P Clinic Clerk, or other individual who is responsible for maintaining the list of C&P exams performed at the site.

The user, who has the Security Key above, or programmer access, should see Edit Exam List Parameter (MAS) under the Tools menu option after logging into the CAPRI GUI executable.

If the user does not have option context DVBA CAPRI GUI, it should be assigned to their secondary menu.

For users who do not hold this Security Key or who have @ FileMan access, the option is not displayed.  When a user clicks Edit Exam List Parameter (MAS), the dialog box in Figure 2-167 is displayed.  Parameters that are set in this window are displayed in the Add a New C&P Exam dialog box.

If a new division(s) has/have been added, the next time a user uses this option it will set the new division(s) to active.

To turn off a division so it is not available for user selection, the user selects the division on the left of the screen then selects the box labeled Completely Inactivate this Division in the Edit Exam List Parameters (MAS) window as shown in (Figure 2-167). A textbox is provided for comments relating to a specific division.

When selecting Edit Exam List Parameters (MAS) for the first time, CAPRI automatically finds the site’s divisions and activates all exams for each division in a default list. The user is then able to add new lists or modify the default list that was created.

To enable a specified group of users to order certain exams, the user may create a custom list by selecting the Add New button in the Edit Exam List Parameters (MAS) window.

Figure 2-167

 

When the user selects an exam list defined for a division, the Edit Selected button is enabled. Selecting this button triggers the display of the screen below (Figure 2-168) to enable users to modify the list of exams and add comments about a particular list or exam.

Figure 2-168

 

The checkmarks in the checkboxes next to the exam name indicate that the exams are activated.

Users can modify (turn off) the default as well as the custom exam list by clearing the check marks from the checkboxes next to the exams they wish to turn off. This will cause the exam to display in red in the Add a New Exam dialog box, indicating that the exam is not performed at the particular facility.

If exams are turned off via future DVB patches, they will no longer show in the New Exam dialog box.

If a patch releases a new exam, it is shown to all users until someone uses Edit Exam List Parameter (MAS) to turn it off.

Comments may be added for the exam list in the section labeled Comment for this list of exams. Users can place comments, reminders, or notes about an exam in the text box labeled, Comment to be displayed when this exam is selected. Selecting the exam will bring the textbox into view.

 

DoD Records Tab

CAPRI Remote users have access to the DoD Tab. From this tab, DoD records are available for certain veterans beginning approximately six weeks after discharge. These records are available through the Federal Health Information Exchange (FHIE). The user will know if DoD records are available when they access the Patient Selector screen. In Figure 2-169, the notation DOD data is available indicates that the user can access these records after selecting the patient. The patient demographic data is not visible in this specific example because it is a sensitive level record.

Note: The DoD Tab is not available for local CAPRI users.  When a local CAPRI user selects the DoD Tab, CAPRI displays a message directing the user to the VistAWeb tab to access DoD data.

Figure 2-169

 

After the user selects this patient, a new tab is available: the DoD Records tab (Figure 2-170). This tab is disabled for patients who do not have FHIE records available.

Step 1 – The user selects the DoD Records tab.

Step 2 – The available reports are listed in the left window.  Figure 2-170 shows primarily laboratory and test results together with discharge summaries and outpatient prescriptions. The FHIE framework requires a Start Date and a Stop Date before any data is returned.  FHIE records, if available, could date back to 1989.  After entering a Start Date and a Stop Date, the user selects the type of report to view.

Step 3 – If more than one report of the selected type is available, they are listed in the top window.  Figure 2-170 shows two discharge summaries. The user selects the summary or report to view.

Step 4 – The selected summary or report is displayed in the lower window.

Note: The C&P Worksheets tab in the screen above no longer exists (Figure 2-170). This functionality was moved under CAPRI – Reports (the Reports selection under the File menu) as C&P Exams Checklist.

VistAWebTab

VistAWeb is an intranet Web application used to review remote patient information found in VistA and the Health Data Repository (HDR) databases.  VistAWeb mirrors the behavior of CPRS and Remote Data View (RDV).  CAPRI users can view the data on VistAWeb, but they cannot make changes to VistAWeb pages.

This is a simulation of a VistAWeb page shown in Figure 2-171.
