<H3>Special Instructions</H3><p> <p>This tests a DOF that is part of a DOR/DOF system that has the ability to send messages to multiple DOCs. It is a redundant test of the ability of the DOC to receive messages containing data for one or more patients. The test verifies the ability for the DOF to send multiple messages (or a DOF supporting only VSMs to send messages) to multiple DOCs. &nbsp;The test verifies the ability to send, and for a DOC to receive and verify the DOF&rsquo;s ability to send multiple messages containing data with multiple physiological parameters for two patients (or only a single patient if multiple patients are not supported). If your system does not support multiple patients, you need to make this known to your test partners and the project manager.</p> <p> The DOF must coordinate this test with multiple DOCs. The sending system is responsible for making sure each of the receiving systems can receive and display at least a minimum set of four parameters <em>in advance of the Connectathon.</em> </p> <p> There are three variations of this test; be sure you select the right one(s):</p> <ul> <li>DEC_One_to_Many_Communication_RC </li> <ul> <li>DOR and two or more DOCs </li> <li>DOR with DOF in the same system, testing the DOR function and not the DOF; the DOC does not use the query function to request filtered data </li> </ul> <li>DEC_One_to_Many_Communication_FC</li> <ul> <li>DOR with DOF in the same system, testing the DOF function and not the DOR; the DOC provides the query function to request filtered data </li> </ul> <li>DEC_One_to_Many_Communication_RFC </li> <ul> <li>Standalone DOF tests the output side to verify the ability to respond to two or more DOCs </li> </ul> </ul> <p>NOTE:<strong> </strong>If the system is a DOF in the same system as a DOR, then the DOF must test with multiple DOCs. </p> <p> NOTE: A test with one or multiple standalone DOFs (and possibly DOCs) receiving messages from a single DOR is considered redundant because the standalone DOF in that case looks like a DOC to the DOR.</p> <p>NOTE: The DEC_One_to_Many_Communication_RFC test is appropriate for a standalone DOF that relies upon a DOR for data. </p> <p>NOTE: Test names are the same for DORs, DOFs and DOCs. They play partner roles and DORs are responsible for coordinating with their partners <em>in advance of the Connectathon</em> to assure that the required number of DOCs needed are able to receive the messages they will send.</p> <p>RELATED TESTS:</p> <p>This test may be combined with the DEC_SPD_By_Location test.</p> </p><H3>Description</H3><p>Conduct DEC_One_to_One_Communication testing before proceeding.</p><p>This test applies to systems that transmit multiple messages for the same patient or patients AND to a gateway that transmits only one set of parameters for one or more patients (e.g., vital signs monitor). This test applies only to DOFs that send messages to multiple DOCs.</p><ol> <li>Each DOC terminates any existing subscription.</li> <li>Each DOC subscribes to the DOF for any supported filter type that both systems support. The two (or more) DOCs need not send the same query but <strong>must</strong> request the same patients. A minimum of two messages consistent with the subscription request are received.</li> <li>A DOF sends a series of messages to two or more DOCs. Messages include at two patients (if multiple patients are supported) and multiple physiological parameters. Parameters include sampled continuous parameters (e.g., heart rate and blood pressure) if supported, or VSM data if that is the only data type supported. Messages <strong>need not include</strong> relatively infrequently measured parameters (e.g., NIBP). For DOFs that are part of a DOR/DOF system, the DOR portion must also test using DEC_ One_to_Many_Communication _RC. </li> <li>Messages will alternate between the two patients. I.e., a message for patient #1 is followed by a message for patient #2 before another message is sent for patient #1. Messages should not be closer in time than 30 seconds apart.</li> </ol><p>Sending systems send the same messages to two or more DOCs.</p><p>PATIENT IDENTIFICATION:</p><p>For systems NOT using PAM or PDQ to obtain patient demographics, the patients for this test in January 2008 are given below. Additional patients can be created using the same pattern.</p><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="133" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>System</strong> </p> </td> <td width="91" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>MRD</strong> </p> </td> <td width="61" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>First Name</strong> </p> </td> <td width="67" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>Last Name</strong> </p> </td> <td width="127" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>Location</strong> </p> </td> <td width="79" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>Mother&rsquo;s Maiden Name</strong> </p> </td> <td width="73" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <strong>DOB</strong> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="133" valign="top"> <p>&nbsp;
