In the beginning there was only DI (Fileman), DG (Registration/ADT), PS (Pharmacy), and SD (Scheduling) Fileman was the database and you added and updated patient data via Registration. You also defined your inpatient ward using the ADT part of DG and admitted patients, transferred them to other wards throught it. You defined your outpatient clinics via Scheduling and booked patient appointments. Outpatient prescriptions were done via PS.
And then came the complex LA/LR - Laboratory module. There was a big pow-wow - lots of training occurred Outpatient Pharmacy became PSO and it begat PSIV (IV Admnistration) and PSJ (Inpatient Medications) and others. Over the years VistA grew and added new modules and we all forgot how to start start from scratch. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 2:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] RE: Vista without CPRS... Shaun, I'm with you. The documentation is terrible until you already have kind of figured out the subject. There needs to be some bridge documentation. I think our community(including you) will have to write this for the next guy... I think that those that have advanced in knowledge forget the challenges they had in the beginning, so they are not the best ones to write such bridge documentation. So, can you try to document what you figure out as you go along? I could put what you write up on my website. Someone set up a wikki that would be ideal for this...but no one seems to be adding to it.
