processing and the time elapsed since the last event was processed for each
notification type.
The ‘Notification Consumption’
tab provides a ‘dashboard’ view of the status of notifications
awaiting processing and the time elapsed since the last notification was consumed
for each notification type.
Web Service Changes: -
No changes were made in this release of SCI Store.
Resolved Issues: -
Tracker 7930 - CHI Daily Broadcast -
Title Removal Transaction Also Removes Other Information – An issue was reported where
it was discovered that CHI daily broadcast files which contained a
‘Title’ removal was, in addition to removing the patient title
details inadvertently removing other data from the database. The affected fields
were: -
·
MaritalStatus
·
LocationDeath
·
EthnicGroup
·
Religion
·
The
‘time’ portion of the DateOfDeath value - if there was one present.
This issue has now been resolved in this
release of SCI Store. The receipt of this type of file will now only remove the
‘title’ details from the patient record.
Tracker 8868 –
WS ‘FindResult’ Request With A Patient Identifier Does Not Take
Merged Patients Into Account – An issue was reported where the
‘FindResult’ web service using the patient CHI details was failing
to return the combined result set of patients who were associated by being
merged. Only the results of the
patient(s) who directly match the Patient Identifier value specified in the
search criteria were being returned.
This issue has been resolved in this build for the Version 4.1, 6.0 and
7.1 ‘FindResult’ Web Service.
Tracker 8882 – Inbound XML21
Not Parsing Requesting HCP – NHS Lothian recently reported an issue with incoming XML
Version 2.1 files whereby the ‘Requesting HCP’ details were not
being processed by the SCI Store parser. This issue has been investigated and
the cause identified to be due to the fact that the files contained an HCP <gen:IdScheme></gen:IdScheme>
tag which had a value of ‘Trak’ – which the parser was
failing to handle correctly. The code logic has been amended to enable the XML
Version 2.1 parser to handle this correctly. As a result this issue has been
resolved in this release of SCI Store.
Tracker 8887 – Patient Phone
Numbers Not Being Passed to LabelTrace – NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde recently
reported that although patient phone number is listed as an available field
within the label trace raw data, Store never passes out this information.
Investigation into the issue revealed that the original specification for the
LabelTrace output did not specify that this value would be output. However, the
functionality has now been enhanced to allow this data to be output from this
release of SCI Store forward. It will now be possible to print the following
telephone types on the labels produced by the LabelTrace functionality: -
·
Where
the telecom type is defined as ‘Voice’, Home’ or is not
specified, the telephone details will be output in the LabelTrace
‘phone’ parameter.
·
Where
the telecom type is defined as ‘Work’, the telephone details will
be output in the LabelTrace ‘phonework’ parameter.
·
Where
the telecom type is defined as ‘Mobile’, the telephone details will
be output in the LabelTrace ‘phonemobile’ parameter.
Where multiple entries exist for any category, the one with the most
recent ‘CurrentAt’ date in the Store database (i.e. the most
recently added) will be output.
The following additional enhancement has also been made: -
Where patients have NHS number identifiers, they will be output in the
‘nhsnumber’ variable. If multiple NHS numbers exist, they will be
output in a comma separated list.
