Is anyone interested in doing a little CPRS Delphi contract programming?

Hey Jim, this is very nice, very helpful. Thank you so much for making your "query REMOTE PROCEDURE by Name" service available. On a somewhat related note, I would think that when CPRS was being developed, the DELPHI programmers would have been given detailed documentation for the RPCs they would

The help file I've seen appears to document making RPC calls in general. Is there documentation that describes the actual RPC calls that are available from the RPC Broker and used by CPRS, with details of the input and output parameters? On Sat, 29 Apr 2006 Kevin Toppenberg wrote: > The best docu

Does anyone know where the latest CPRS-R Java source code is to be found? I looked for it at ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/ but didn't see it there. BTW, before they stopped working on it, did the developers get it to a buildable and runnable state? ---

2006-03-06 Thread J. Michael Towry
Yes, we definitely do not want to reinvent -- or even modify -- CPRS. We do, however, need to augment its functionality to address small-office/clinic workflow issues and provide some automated, user-friendly linkages to an existing practice management system. We were hoping that we could use a Jav

2006-03-06 Thread J. Michael Towry
I've been asked to look into the possibility of using a Java client to access VistA via the RPC Broker. Is this perhaps something simple that has already been done (I hope, I hope, I hope) or will it require inventing (as opposed to reinventing) the wheel?

[Hardhats-members] PATIENT/IHS Health Record Number question

I have been given to understand that the PATIENT/IHS (file 901) Health Record Number is the correct place to store a patient ID from a non-VISTA practice management system. However, the PATIENT/IHS record seems to be linked to the PATIENT record only by name, which is not unique. Am I missing s

Granted that having a patient ID that will be unique throughout all time and space is not an insignificant problem. However, what I'm trying to deal with here is a much smaller subset of that universal domain. That is, a small office with a practice management system already assigns patient IDs tha
