Anyone know how the VISDOCID is created?
For example: I start a document and it is assigned a Doc ID of 25 and immediately discard the document.
Then I start another document and it is given a Doc ID of 26, where can I find any data related to Doc ID 25 even though it was discarded?
I'm looking for data in SQL, can't find anything on the DOCUMENT table, I wonder where else I can look to find the VISDOCID "25" and hopefully show that I discarded it.
I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I want to make sure you're aware that GE publishes the database dictionary here: https://engage.gehealthcare.com/community/en/cps/documentation
I'd expect the answer to be there.
VisitDocID is a temporary ID assisgned to a Physician-document. If you discard the document, all content is discarded. The VisitDocID is recycled.
The VisDocID is unique and assigned to each document. The VisDocID is not recycled. When filing a document in error the DocType is updated to '24' and the document removed from view. The document record can be viewed on the Documents table and is preserved for auditing purposes.
To view a discarded document from the chart - Select Organize button, under Document Types: check mark 'Filed in Error'. Filed in Error and Replaced documents are removed from view only. Right-Clicking on a 'Filed in Error' document and selecting View Clinical List Changes will reveal clinical list changes for that update that were removed.
Alternatively, selecting to view Contributor's List will reveal user that contributed to the document and who filed the document in error, short of running an audit event report.
Filed in error and discarded are two different things. I have looked before and it is my understanding that when you "discard" a document, all traces of it are removed. When you file a document in error, the doctype is updated but the document stays intact.
