Problem: Since BPF is no longer being printed on the certificate, hospitals want alternative methods of identifying which records are to be sent to the health department.

Here are 4 possible solutions:

1. Purchase a barcode scanner and select option B

2. Use SELECT to identify which of the remaining unsent records are to be sent

3. Specify baby's name under INDIVIDUAL select

4. Use the #HALIST report to identify babies by medical record number. This

report provides an alphabetic list of all unsent records within a given date range.

Problem: Occasional undefined errors are occurring at field 25B. The problem happens when the EDIF call cannot compute a difference due an insufficient pattern check for 25A and 25AA.

Solution: Improve the pattern checks for 25A and 25AA to match 1N.E to find valid dates going into the EDIF call.

Problem: Occasional undefined errors are occurring at field 25AA. The problem happens when there is a long inter-menstrual gap, for example no intervening menses between births. In this case, field 25B does not have a default value computed. The check for subnode 4 then bombs out since it assumes a default value is present.

Solution: Add a $D check for ^T($J,"25B") for sub-field check node 4.

Outcome: Installed with AMR 07004.

Problem: Ron discovered that there is a situation where item 25B has a partial value saved. If the user initially ^Skips 25AA and 25B then edits 25AA the 25AA subfield check creates a default value for 25B of the number of months without the suffix (i.e. 1 instead of 1ST). When the record is subsequently filed the FSHCASF1 routine removes items from the skipped list when they have a value. We end up with a single digit in 25B and it is no longer skipped.

Solution: Modify the 25AA subfield check to create the whole value instead of the single digit.

Outcome: Updated CHK,5 to append the appropriate suffix. Installed in CAD/MST on Net3. Loaded into LRD on Net4/5/6. Done.

Problem/Suggestion:

1. Create an INIT node to display: ONLY ENTER A MAILING ADDRESS IF IT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE RESIDENCE ADDRESS IN ITEMS 24A THRU 24E.

before the prompt.

2. Treat data entry of any single alphabetic character the same as null.

3. Add a comparison with item 24A and an ARE YOU SURE prompt if they are equal.

Problem/Suggestion:

At line 70+2^FSCBC07D when item 25B is UNKNOWN it is not being coded properly. REC 70 was being left with value UNKNOWN which is 4 characters too long.

Received: 1/03/07

Problem/Suggestion:

For 24B County of Residence, when the state is Mexico and the County is "--" the 1800 byte record is coding it to 250 in stead of the Marc code MX. Please check other Country codes also.

We should be using the Marc codes.

Problem/Suggestion:

Ventura County - Rosie called because she was entering a 2006 Fetal Death into AVSS and when she tried to enter code 67 in item #35 (Abnormal Conditions and Clinical Procedures relating to the Fetus) it would not accept it. It would accept 75, but that is for the Birth Certificate.

The following items changed on the Fetal Death Certificate for 2006, 24C (Father's Education),27C (Mother's Education),29D (Principal Source of Payment for Prenatal Care), 32A (Method of Delivery), 32B (Expected Principal Source of Payment for Delivery), 33 (Complications and Procedures of Pregnancy), 34 (Complication and Procedures of Labor) and 35 that should be checked for errors.

Problem/Suggestion:

As the new foreign import data starts to come in, minor updates are needed.

1. Race lists need to be updated to the new ones developed for the HCA.

2. Fields 18 and 21 need to be computed properly using the HCA SFC calls.

3. UNKNOWN needs to be processed correctly for MWT1 and MWT2.

4. Education lists need to be updated to use the updated ones found in HCA.

5. APGAR10 needs to be adjusted to not perform the zero reprompt check.

Problem/Suggestion:

Jessica was getting some BID writeout checks indicating that race AMERICAN was coding to 30 instead of 10. I checked the 2007 list and found that to be the case. Glen should go through the 2007 race list on AVSS and compare the values and race codes with the appropriate CBC appendix. (I did the fix for AMERICAN on AVSSNET and at the state.)

Problem/Suggestion:

Alan reports that some users (especially Asian) often don't know their pre-pregnancy weight in pounds. So allow a K added to the end of the weight to cause AVSS to convert to pounds. We may also add a warning message for weight entries under 100 pounds as well.
