Registration, being the first section to start with in an effort of set up a Non-VA facility, is the center of my attention at the moment.
I stuided Office-EHR closely, tried to copy what they have done with Registration into HuiOpenVistA. So far so good, i have learned a lot of stuff which was previously was very agitating, like when you try to register a non-veteran, the Eligibility code for such patients can only be "Humanitarian Emergency", which i guess is exactly the case in a VA facility. Similarly the three fields that i mentioned earlier, are VA specific. Can i do something about it is still a big question? Do they have any other dependencies? Why did VOE chose to create a new patient type, rather than just modifying the existing Non-veteran patient type. What are the other aspects that i should look out for while setting up in a Non-VA facility? On 5/11/06, Wasif Toor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That might be very right, the list also has hospitals from Canada. Anyway, i copied the question from a list of stuff i had written down. I guess i missed most of em, so i am pasting them again here. ----------------------------------------------------- In order to create a "Hospital" in VistA one comes across following designated entities: Medical Center Institute Facility (This file contains the list of all US Hospitals – 5861 entries) Division (Medical Center Division) Hospital Location (Wards, Clinics, Labs) Question: What is the exact purpose of having the whole list of hospitals in the FACILITY file? We assume that MEDICAL CENTER & INSTITUTE are interchangeable terms for a Hospital Question: Is the above assumption correct? While creating a hospital, we adhere to the following hierarchy: Institute/Medical Center = (Hospital) --> Division --> Hospital Location Question: Is the above hierarchy valid? During Admission, we come across the following fields: Admitting Regulation Type of Admission Facility Treating Speciality These entries available in these fields seem to be appropriate from VA point of view. Question: Are there any dependencies on the above data sets, or are these just labels to the record? Can we add or delete them without worrying about their dependencies?
