<H3>Special Instructions</H3><p> <p>This test addresses the ability of a DOR to integrate patient demographic information for two    patients with physiologic data. This test applies, with a note, if the DOR is capable only of    transmitting data for a single patient. If the DOR does not utilize the PIB option, do not    conduct this test.</p> <p>If both PAM and PDQ options are supported, this will be accomplished with one patient    identified via the DOR&rsquo;s database of prior PAM transmissions and the other via a query. If the    DOR supports only PAM or PDQ, both patients will be identified using the only appropriate option.    PAM or PDQ qualifying tests, if any, should be performed first.</p> <p>The user selects or validates the patient identification obtained and the DOR incorporates the    patient identity into the messages transmitted to a DOC.</p> <p> <b>Related Tests:</b> Developers may efficiently follow this test with either of these if    partners are available:</p> <ul>     <li>DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RC</li>     <li>DEC_Validated_Parameters_RC</li> </ul> </p><H3>Description</H3><p>Read DEC_One_to_One_Communication before proceeding.</p><p>DORs will send, and DOCs will receive, physiologic and/or pump parameters for two patients. If    your system does not support multiple patients you need to make this known to your test partners    and the project manager.</p><p>DORs will send at least three messages for each patient with reasonable physiologic values &ndash;    unless the DOR supports only Vital Signs Monitor (VSM) data. If VSM data is included, or is the    only data sent, the VSM sends one message with two or more patients&rsquo; data. If the DOR supports    both validated and unvalidated data, this test is performed with unvalidated data.</p><p>Messages will alternate between patients (i.e., parameters for patient #1 are followed by    parameters for patient #2 before the next set of parameters are sent for patient #1). </p><p>Parameters should be sent from actual devices (preferred), simulators or, if necessary from    parameter tables provided by the Project Manager (least desirable).</p><p>     <b>Patient Identification - TBD</b> </p><p>If this test is not combined with DEC_One_to_One_Communication, then each message shall contain    at least four parameters that the receiving DOF or DOC can process and display or document, and    may send any number of additional parameters. DORs are responsible for coordinating with their    partners in advance of the Connectathon to assure that partners are able to receive at least the    minimum four parameters required for a given test. Parameter values should be realistic for a    patient in a cardiac ICU bed or on an OR table.</p><p>If this test is combined with DEC_One_to_One_Communication, then follow the instructions for    the number and type of parameters found in that message.</p><H3>Evaluation</H3><p>Project manager or monitor will observe the displays provided by the DOR and partner DOC. The    physiologic parameters and their measurement values, including the time of parameter measurement    will be compared. The type of display/documentation by the DOC is not constrained, it need only    be clinically useful.</p><p>Success: If the patients, the minimum number of parameters, the measurements and the time of    measurement sent by the DOR matches those received by the DOC that will indicate the step in the    test has been successful. </p><p>NOTE: If this test is combined with, follows or is followed by another test they will be    evaluated separately.</p>
