CPRS DOCUMENTATION TOOL
The CPRS Documentation Tool is the authorized Electronic Health Record
(CPRS) corrections tool, utilized for requesting corrections at MEDVAMC.
All requests for corrections in the Electronic Health Record (CPRS) must be
done using this tool. The tool is easily accessed from within CPRS while on the
error in question.
Requests done through the CPRS Documentation tool are sent to the
corrections department utilizing a VistA Mailman message. All requesters are
responsible for ensuring that their requests were processed. A VistA Mailman
reply will be sent to the requester's account within two business days. If a
reply is not sent within two business days, send an email to VHAHOU CACS.
Requesters should refer to this tutorial on how to appropriately enter
a request. If further questions arise send an email to VHAHOU CACS.
