| + | Astronaut VistA now supports this by tmg-cprs. |

| − | Does VistA support addition of a patient picture to the [[record~|Record]]
| |
| − | ? This
| |
| − | is necessary at Intracare for many reasons. -- IV

| − | I am a Clinical [[Application~|Application]]s Specialist for a State Hospital in WV and
| |
| − | we use Medsphere Systems Corporation's OpenVista CPRS. It supports
| |
| − | adding a patient photo in the chart. Once the image has been scanned
| |
| − | into the product, you see a thumbnail image in the upper left corner
| |
| − | of the Cover Sheet, which you can then click on to view full-size.

| |

| − | Both our existing (and I'm afraid, not open-able) OpenVista CPRS and
| |
| − | new AGPL'd CIS [[application~|Application]]s include the patient photo feature. You

| − | Ben,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is there a RPC call that is associated with the photo feature?
| |
| − | If someone wanted to make a corresponding change to the open source
| |
| − | CPRS, is there some "lessons learned" or "de facto" implementation
| |
| − | that should be kept in common, for the good of the community?

| − | Hi David-
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Patient Photo enhancement was a part of the 'desktop imaging' work
| |
| − | done to allow directly attached images to be associated with TIU
| |
| − | documents.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A design goal was to use existing "MAG" related work where we could.
| |
| − | Some RPCs were added as necessary. Our implementation uses RPCs to
| |
| − | associate images and fetch image locations. The actual image upload
| |
| − | is handled via a secure WebDAV link and image fetching uses HTTPS.
| |
| − | The RPC used to fetch the patient photo is "MSCGMAG PAT PHOTOS" and is
| |
| − | available in our distribution if you'd like to take a look.
| |

| − | Since this is a log I am going to think out loud:
| |
| − | | |
| − | I am faced with a dilemma: Abandon WVEHR and change over to OpenVistA
| |
| − | which has the picture function now but does not have CCHIT
| |
| − | certification and is said to not be VA patch-stream compatible or wait
| |
| − | an indeterminate amount of time for the picture function to appear in
| |
| − | WVEHR? -- IV

| − | As Nancy mentioned, I took a look at the COM object functionality of CPRS
| |
| − | and created a very simple CPRS plug-in that will display a the patient photo
| |
| − | just after the the patient selection is made in CPRS. It uses existing MAG
| |
| − | RPC's. I'll upload to the source to file section this evening.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Ignacio-
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm not certain I understand the "VA patch-stream" compatible comment.
| |
| − | While I haven't looked in depth at patch stream used for any of the
| |
| − | other VistA-based distributions, if the system in question fixes bugs
| |
| − | or enhance functionality inside any VA packages, then some care will
| |
| − | need to be taken before applying vanilla VA patches. OpenVista most
| |
| − | certainly has both fixes to VA bugs and enhancements that would mean
| |
| − | the patches from the VA would need to be analyzed before [[application~|Application]]
| |
| − | -- this is a process we periodically perform to update our own
| |
| − | distribution.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would make the assumption this is true of other distributions as well.

| |
| − | | |
| − | I agree with Ben.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Any person who is currently using any VistA variant (WorldVistA EHR,
| |
| − | Medsphere OpenVista, RPMS from IHS, Hui OpenVista) will need to
| |
| − | install VA patches on a regular basis. Contrary to the name, patches
| |
| − | rarely fix deficiencies in the system, and usually enhance the
| |
| − | capabilities of a package or bring it into compliance with new
| |
| − | regulatory requirements. Anyone who does doesn't install patches ends
| |
| − | up having to do all that work on their own, with the concomitant
| |
| − | costs of development, testing, and deployment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Part of the process of installing a patch into a VistA system requires
| |
| − | an evaluation of the impact of any patch. After evaluation, the patch
| |
| − | can be installed directly if it doesn't overlap any local
| |
| − | modifications to code or data. If it does, then the patch must be
| |
| − | recreated taking them into account, or a new patch must be created to
| |
| − | put the local modifications back into the system after the patch is
| |
| − | installed. I know this process is a priority of WorldVistA and part of
| |
| − | the software services we work on.
