RE: [Hardhats-members] == VistaWeb Missing Apps ==

[Sowinski, Richard J.]

The subscription control file contains the list of sites the patient has been treated at. I suspect you access it via an RPC to get a list of sites a patient has been treated at, either that, or you're accessing the MPI directly. It's the only two places that data could live. In either case, it's obviously been encapsulated well, by the RDV developers. I suspect your application may also be using the ICN, to resolve DFN's, at a lower level than is visible to you.   The reason I have asked people on this list if they have VistaWeb up and running, is because I suspect they underestimate the infrastructure required "under the hood", to make it, or RDV run.   I also suspect, some have misconstrued what VistaWeb is. I think some of them think it is a Web-based front-end to Vista, instead of a remote view-only application, used to view patient data at other sites.   Nobody has responded that they have VistaWeb, or RDV up and running outside of VHA.   I'm not saying it can't be done. It most certainly can. But it's going to be a little more difficult than setting up CPRS to connect to an M implementation running Vista on one's laptop. I think.   - Rich -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Gillon, Joseph Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 10:14 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] == VistaWeb Missing Apps == Re MPI, Subscription Control file, etc.:   VistAWeb makes exactly the same use of the MPI as RDV.  So if you have RDV working you should have not problem with VW, and conversely.   I have no idea what the Subscription Contol file is, and I wrote VW, from which I conclude you don't need it.  At least per se VW.  Maybe this is required for a site to be kept up-to-date on the current MPI.  In which case you would need it.  But you'd also need it for RDV.   VW does not use the patient ICN since none of the RPCs it uses does.  It uses the DFN at each patient site, so that should be no problem.   Basically, you need a working MPI, and if you can make RDV work, you must have a working MPI, and that means VW will also work.
