| # | Name | Location | Type | Details | Index | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .01 | institution(+) | 0;1 | POINTER | 4 | B | Please enter the DIVISION these parameters apply to. |
| .02 | enable electronic signature | 0;2 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | Electronic signature is enabled when this parameter is set to 1. Until such time as electronic signature is enabled, signatures are to be written on the chart copy of the TIU document, and provision must be made for TIU documents to be marked Signed on Chart. | |
| .03 | characters per line | 0;3 | NUMERIC | This value (default 60) is divided into the total number of 'actual' characters in a given transcribed document to derive the line count for that document. By 'actual' characters, we mean all printable ASCII characters, with multiple white space characters stripped. This prevents transcriptionists from "stuffing" line counts by adding white space. | ||
| .04 | grace period for purge | 0;4 | NUMERIC | OUT OF SERVICE. Purging is disabled. This is the number of days following transcription for which a document will be kept, prior to purge. Allowable range is from 90 to 7300 days (20 years). NOTE: Progress Notes and their addenda are not subject to purge, regardless of this parameter. IF YOU WANT TO DISABLE PURGING ALTOGETHER, LEAVE THIS PARAMETER EMPTY (or delete any existing value). | ||
| .05 | grace period for signature | 0;5 | NUMERIC | This is the number of days following transcription before an author or Attending Physician is notified of a deficiency. If no grace period is entered, clinicians are not notified of overdue signatures. | ||
| .06 | optimize list building for | 0;6 | SET OF CODES | P:performance S:security | This parameter determines whether or not TIU list building functions invoke business rules, excluding from the list any documents the user is not authorized to see. Checking business rules in this way optimizes list building for security. It may be costly in terms of performance. When optimized for performance (the default behavior of TIU), business rules excluding notes from view are bypassed when building lists of documents. NOTE: This applies only to lists: when an unauthorized user attempts to view the contents of a document from the resulting list, he is prevented from doing so, with the following explanation: Reviewing Item #1 You may not VIEW this UNSIGNED NURSE'S NOTE. RETURN to continue... | |
| .07 | suppress review notes prompt | 0;7 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | Applies to Progress Notes only. When this parameter is set to YES, TIU suppresses the prompt which asks if the user wishes to see available progress notes before entering a new note. This parameter is overridden by the Personal Preference of same name. If neither parameter is entered, the Review Notes prompt is NOT suppressed. | |
| .08 | default primary provider | 0;8 | SET OF CODES | 0:NONE, DON'T PROMPT 1:DEFAULT, BY LOCATION 2:AUTHOR (IF PROVIDER) | This parameter determines the behavior of the Primary Provider prompt for a standalone encounter. If the parameter has no value, the prompt has no default. If the parameter has value 0, the user is not prompted for primary provider. If the parameter has value 1, the default for the Primary Provider prompt is the site's default provider for the given location. If the parameter has value 2, the default is the author if the author is a provider; if the author is not a provider, the prompt has no default. | |
| .09 | ascii upload source | 0;9 | SET OF CODES | H:host file server R:remote computer | Applies only when the ASCII upload protocol is used. This field specifies the source from which documents are uploaded. (H)ost indicates to the upload processor that the source of the data is an ASCII host file (VMS or DOS), while (R)emote indicates that the data is read from an ASCII stream coming to VISTA from a terminal emulator on a remote computer (for example, an IBM PC or compatible, or an Apple Macintosh). | |
| .1 | record header signal | 0;10 | FREE TEXT | This is a free text tag or signal used by the upload process to determine that a new document record header has been encountered. It may be as simple as the three-character string "MSH" or as complex as "HEADERBEGIN". The signal "@@@", used by the Surgery Package option to transmit operative notes, is another possibility. NOTE: Although you may define this parameter independently for each DIVISION, we recommend that you choose just one such signal per site. | ||
| .11 | end of message signal | 0;11 | FREE TEXT | Applies only to transfers made using the ASCII protocol. This is the free text signal to the upload process that the entire file/stream has been transmitted without difficulty, and no more lines of data need to be read. | ||
| .12 | begin report text signal | 0;12 | FREE TEXT | This is the signal to the upload processor that the fixed-field header for a given report record has been fully read, and that the body of the narrative report follows. | ||
| .13 | major delimiter | 0;13 | FREE TEXT | This ASCII character separates the various pieces of fixed-field information in the message header. Please avoid using delimiters such as ",", or ":", which may be contained within the data itself, using instead less common symbols such as "|", "\" or "~". | ||
| .14 | future appointment range | 0;14 | NUMERIC | This parameter determines how far in advance a future appointment may be selected when entering a document for outpatient care. Allowable values range from 1 to 180 days, defaulting to 1 day. | ||
| .15 | pace character | 0;15 | FREE TEXT | Applies only to transfers which use the ASCII protocol. This is the ASCII value of the character which VISTA sends to the remote computer to acknowledge receipt of the previous text line and to prompt the remote to transmit another line. You may choose any character with an ASCII value between 1 and 126. If you are using the same remote to upload both MailMan messages and textual reports, then we recommend using the ">" symbol, ASCII 62. Otherwise, we suggest using the ACK character (ASCII 6). NOTE: you may need to specify the same character as part of the ASCII PROTOCOL parameters of the terminal emulation software on the remote. | ||
| .16 | upload header format | 0;16 | SET OF CODES | C:captioned D:delimited string | This field determines whether the upload filer expects delimited string or captioned formats for the header of each document. | |
| .17 | upload protocol | 0;17 | SET OF CODES | a:ASCII k:KERMIT | This is the upload protocol used to transmit documents, with a for ASCII, or k for KERMIT. | |
| .18 | run upload filer in foreground | 0;18 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | This parameter specifies whether to run the filer for the upload process in the foreground or in the background (as a Task). If no preference is specified, the filer runs in the BACKGROUND. | |
| .22 | enable chart copy prompt | 0;22 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | OUT OF SERVICE. See TIU Document Parameter ALLOW CHART PRINT OUTSIDE MAS. | |
| 1.05 | amendment signature block | 1;5 | FREE TEXT | OUT OF SERVICE. The signer's normal signature block is used for amendments. This parameter allows the site to specify the format of the signature block for an amendment. While Business Rules determine who may amend documents, generally it is the user class CHIEF,MIS who may do so. If this user is not the site's Privacy Act officer, then it may be desirable to enter a statement indicating that the user is signing on behalf of the Privacy Act Officer. For example, if the user's name is John Smith, while the site's Privacy Act Officer is Jane Doe, RRT, then the AMENDMENT SIGNATURE BLOCK might be entered as: "for Jane Doe, RRT, PRIVACY ACT OFFICER". The amendment information on the document would then appear as: AMENDED 10/26/92 /es/ JOHN SMITH for Jane Doe, RRT, PRIVACY ACT OFFICER | ||
| 1.06 | blank character string | 1;6 | FREE TEXT | This string of characters is used by the transcriptionist to represent a "blank" when a word or phrase in the dictation cannot be understood for inclusion in the transcription. | ||
| 1.07 | enable notifications date | 1;7 | DATE-TIME | This date indicates to TIU when to begin sending signature notifications (available/overdue for signature) to expected signers/cosigners. Notifications are sent beginning on this date, and only for documents entered on/after this date. | ||
| 2 | upload error alert recipient | 2;0 | MULTIPLE | 8925.992 | These persons receive alerts from the upload/filer process when a document cannot be filed/located or has missing fields. This field is OVERRIDDEN by recipients set for the given document type in parameter FILING ERROR ALERT RECIPIENTS in the TIU DOCUMENT PARAMETERS file. | |
| 3.1 | start of add sgnr alert period | 3;1 | FREE TEXT | This is the start date for evaluating documents that have overdue additional signatures. The value must be in a FileMan date range format such as 6D, 3W or 4M. If this field is left blank, all documents evaluated that have a date less than the END OF ADD SGNR ALERT PERIOD date will be included. Since the addition of the LENGTH OF SIGNER ALERT PERIOD parameter this field should be set to the same value as that field. If LENGTH OF SIGNER ALERT PERIOD is left blank then set this field to 12M, the default value of the LENGTH OF SIGNER ALERT PERIOD when no value is entered. LENGTH OF SIGNER ALERT PERIOD determines how far back in time documents are evaluated. | ||
| 3.2 | end of add sgnr alert period | 3;2 | FREE TEXT | This is the length in time from the current date that the TIU NIGHTLY TASK will stop regenerating alerts for overdue additional signatures. The value must be in a FileMan date range format such as 6D, 3W or 4M. If no value is entered, the TIU NIGHTLY TASK will search for documents in the TIU DOCUMENT File (8925) up to the current date. | ||
| 3.3 | length of signer alert period | 3;3 | FREE TEXT | This is the length of time that the TIU NIGHTLY TASK will go back prior to "today" when searching for documents that have overdue signatures. The value must be in a FileMan date range format such as 6D, 3W or 4M. If no value is entered, the TIU NIGHTLY TASK will begin searching for documents starting at 1 year prior to "today" in the TIU DOCUMENTS file (8925). |
