<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;
