MDWS is equipped with the capacity to virtualize any legacy VistA RPC as a web service. MDWS exposes MDO and provides transparent multi-site accessibility, while enforcing business rules.\nPurpose\nThis guide is provided to the VA staff to support all activities required to implement the Veteran Appointment Request (VAR 3.0) application, the Schedule Manager (SM) application, and the associated VistA Patch MBAA*1*1.\nThe VAR 3.0 and SM 1.2 applications are web applications that reside in the VA Mobile Framework (VAMF) in Terremark’s VA-dedicated Cloud. The applications use the Medical Domain Web Services (MDWS), also in the VAMF, to communicate with VistA via Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). The VistA RPCs associated with VAR and SM reside in the newly created MBAA namespace. These MBAA RPCs allow authorized users of the mobile application(s) to retrieve and write scheduling data to the VistA Scheduling package files.\nVeteran Appointment Request (VAR) is a veteran facing application that provides Veterans with information from VistA to schedule Primary Care clinic appointments, view future booked appointments, and cancel future appointments that were made using the Mobile App. Additionally, using VAR, Veterans can enter an appointment request for a Primary Care or Mental Health appointment and that request will then be processed in the VA Scheduling Staff facing application, Scheduling Manager (SM). SM is a web-based scheduling application that allows scheduling staff to view and process an appointment requests placed by Veterans in the VAR mobile application.\nImplementation\nThe VistA MBAA*1 *1 patch is being released prior to the deployment of the supported web applicati","cbCainfHsfjzEFsK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainfHsfjzEFsK","docx",694105,27,"English","# Overview\n# Intended Audience\n# Acronyms, and Abbreviations\n# Purpose\n# Implementation\n# Veteran Appointment Request (VAR)\n# Schedule Manager (SM)\n# VistA Pre-Install/Configuration Checklist\n## Ensure Clinic Availability for Direct Patient Scheduling Clinics\n## Clinics with Prohibited Access - Add DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, USER\n## VAR Business Rules/Logic\n## VAR Schedule an Appointment Facility Selection\n## VAR View Appointments\n## VAR Cancel Appointments\n## VAR Veteran Request\n## VAR/SM Points of Contact\n## Reporting Errors\n## Appendix A: MBAA Patch Description","[{\"question\":\"Who is the intended audience for this guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide targets VAMC Information Resource Management system administrators and technical staff installing MBAA*1*1 across VistA environments, plus VAMC Clinic and Scheduling Managers and Product Support staff providing technical support.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MBAA*1*1 pre-install and configuration guide?\",\"answer\":\"It supports VA activities needed to implement VAR 3.0, SM 1.2, and the associated MBAA*1*1 patch, including how the applications use scheduling data through VistA RPCs in the MBAA namespace.\"},{\"question\":\"How do VAR 3.0 and SM 1.2 communicate with VistA?\",\"answer\":\"Both web applications run in the VA Mobile Framework and use MDWS, which exposes medical functionality as web services that virtualize legacy VistA RPCs, enabling secure access to scheduling data.\"}]","Overview - Pre-Install/Configuration Guide | DOCX",1788279459,9]
