<H3>Special Instructions</H3><p> <p>This tests a DOR 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 a DOR to send multiple messages (or a DOR supporting only VSMs to send messages) to multiple DOCs. Messages contain 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 DOR 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&nbsp;&nbsp; </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: 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 and sends messages to multiple DOCS. </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>If two or more DORs are available at the time of the test, they may coordinate their effort and conduct the DEC_Many_To_One test simultaneously.</p> </p><H3>Description</H3><p> <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 DORs that send messages to multiple DOFs or DOCs; in this case we test with DOCs.</p> <ol> <li>A DOR sends a series of messages to two or more DOCs. Messages include at least 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 also must test the DOF option in DEC_One_to_Many_Communication_FC. </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. A minimum of two messages consistent with the subscription request are received.</li> </ol> <p>Sending systems send the same messages to two or more DOCs.</p> </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;
