Besides the time/resources of printing and filing the report, the paper version will always be out of date compared to the version available in the EMR (aka CPRS).

So, using the standard option LRTASK CUMULATIVE, it prints the interim format but does the work to format the cumulative pages?

I work as a Lab information manager at a VA and we don't use print
the cumulative anymore. I don't know of any VA's that print the
cumulative .This same information can be found in CPRS as
Lab reports. /-------Original Message------- /

/*Subject: */[Hardhats-members] Laboratory Cumulative Patch Question
We are in the middle of (actually, near the end of) catching up
all the patches we haven't done over the years to our system. Lab
was implemented in 1988 or so and gradually patched. Its been at
version 5.2, but was about ~80 patches short of being up to date. We loaded patch LR-5P2_SEQ-223_PAT-283.TXT a few nights ago.
It did what it was supposed to do: it added the institution
address to the cumulative and interim pages. Ummm, it also
modified the cumulative report options to the interim format...
Here's the exact sentence:
Cumulative Report options are modified to the interim report
format and
will include the address page(s) which will be printed at the end
of the
report.
Well, it turns out our clinicians like the cumulative format
printed each day...
Can anyone out there elaborate on why this change was done? Are
most VA's not printing the cumulative anymore? We are still
charting it...I think its a good time to quit printing it - we can
now get to the cumulative format in CPRS. Yayyyy!
That's why we are going full tilt into patching...
Anyway - I've found the old entry point of our cumulative printing
and would like to keep using it. Any dire warnings from anyone in
the know for *not* using the usual entry point in the option:
NAME: LRTASK CUM MENU TEXT: TASK THE CUMULATIVE TO RUN EACH NITE
TYPE: run routine
DESCRIPTION: THIS OPTION NOW PRINTS IN THE INTERIM REPORT
FORMAT. The
report prints site codes for tests and prints a separate page(s)
at the end
of the report which lists the performing lab name, address and
site code.
This function is automatically run by the TaskManager. This is
the daily
interim cumulative report.
ROUTINE: AIDQ^LRRP2
The old entry point was CL2^LRAC
Regards,
Charles
