A summary of the patient’s demographics (non-clinical or personal data) appears in Demographics widget located in the upper-left section of the Patient Portal. The tabs above the patient’s name provide the patient’s demographics summary at each site (VA or DoD) that the patient has visited. When the Include Community Data is enabled, one or more VLER tabs may display.
The demographics data displays after searching for and selecting a patient in JLV. Within each tab, the patient’s name is displayed, followed by an icon:
The blue font color and a blue circle are specific to data retrieved from a VA system.
The orange font color and an orange square are specific to data retrieved from DoD systems.
A purple hexagon represents data retrieved from VLER (community partner) sources.
A
yellow triangle icon () displayed in one or more tabs
within the Demographics widget
indicates the patient is not registered at that VA site or DoD facility.
Click the tab to view additional information about the issue. (Connection
Status is also displayed within the widget data. See Viewing
Connection Status.)
You can also click the user's name within any tab to open a separate window that provides patient demographics details.
In a DoD tab, the Demographics widget contains various DoD-only elements from DoD sites:
The patient’s rank and FMP (Family Member Prefix) index.
PCM (Primary Care Manager) Clinic.
The patient's ethnicity.
DoD Sharing Status represents a DoD patient’s choice to share DoD health care data to community partners (HIE). If the patient has opted out, the entry will display DoD Sharing Status: Opted Out (Mmm DD, YYYY). If the patient has opted in, the status will be blank and the Sharing Status label will not be displayed.
Patient’s organ donor designation.
Patient’s blood type.
Emergency contact and next of kin information (shown in Details).
Click the user's name within the Demographics widget to open a separate window that provides patient demographics details. The following example displays a sample Details window open to display agency-specific demographic elements.
Note: When community partner data is enabled, JLV will query for VLER demographics data. If demographics data is returned, the VLER data will be integrated into the Demographics widget display. The Connection Status window accessed from the widget will also display status from VLER partner sources, if available. See Viewing VLER Demographics for more information.
