Completed code review with the team in two one-hour sessions. We reviewed the client code in detail and discussed at length the e*Gate Java features that I utilized for the interface with particular emphasis on the use of the “Process” and “Runtime” classes to call and manage Windows script (.bat) from within an e*Gate Java collaboration rule script.
Allscripts – Completed research of “Service Date” (OBR.7) issue reported by client and proposed solution to map “Admit Date” as the “Service Date” for all reports saving “Discharge Summary” where the “Discharge Date” is mapped for “Service Date”. Completed the changes and tested. Bumped the version of the collaboration rule script and then moved the change into production.
Allscripts – Reported issue with HL7 MLLP connection timing out during long periods of inactivity to Allscripts. After discussions, the conclusion was made that this is not an application layer issue and that we will need to report the issue to our VPN experts for further research and investigation into possible timeout settings at the VPN level.
Allscripts – Identified and then reported to client the fact that we are not yet sending reports associated with the “ECHO” and “STRESS” procedure categories. Completed research into the “active” procedure codes for the above categories, ultimately creating comprehensive documentation that details the procedure codes that are currently included in the message filter to theclient. Shared this information with the team so that he can choose the procedure codes that we need to add to the filter in order to provide “ECHO” and “STRESS” reports and also so that we can choose the proper reports for the client’s Phase 2 list.
Intego Nurse Call – Completed 80% of the basic message testing with Intego through test patient registrations within Meditech, followed by control testing of the resulting HL7 messages.
Completed testing of all ADT message types saving the “Merge” ADT transactions which will require changes before the testing is completed.
Created a series of spreadsheets to document the data map content that I created for this interface to support CLIA, LOINC and HL7 table mapping required for this interface. Then, developed and delivered an email to the team requesting approval and/or feedback on the content. Received solid feedback from client on the lab test and result codes. Waiting on feedback regarding the Medicaid plan codes per an email to the financial team.
Completed changes to the collaboration rules script to prevent the sending of messages when certain conditions are not met within the business rules per suggestion from the team at code review. The changes will prevent the sending of messages when CLIA lookups fail for ministry and/or laboratory and will create log file entries to report when these data map lookup failures occur so that they can be identified and fixed down the road.
Transolutions – Supported some add-on testing that occurred throughout the week and also worked out a strategy regarding the backload of ADT’s in advance of the 3/1 live date for St. Mary’s.
