Reason/Issue |
While configured for the batching of orders, when an order transaction is received from a HIS interface, it is temporarily read into the system while waiting for the next transaction to come across the interface. If the next transaction is another procedure for the same patient, it would be "batched" with the first order until a transaction that is not an order for the "batched" patient is received or the maximum wait time of 10 seconds is exceeded. At this point, all the order(s) would be processed.
If the system receives a shutdown request to restart the interface process while an order is within this 10 second "batching" window, the order may be lost with no indication to the user. This condition can happen when a user manually attempts to restart the interface process or when all of the application processes are restarted during the day-end processing sequence. |
