This file contains data elements as specified by the Decision Support System (DSS) Program Office for the Radiology extract from
existing DHCP files. Entries into this file are made by extracting data from several files. Once approved by the DSS site manager,
entries in this file are loaded into an electronic mail message and sent to the commercial vendor. This file is intended to be used
for validation purposes only. Entries should be made only by the extract load routine.
Since validation techniques will be determined by the local site, it is intended that the site add whatever cross references deemed
necessary. However, this file contains one nationally determined cross reference, the "AC" cross reference on the EXTRACT NUMBER
field (#2). This cross reference is used by the DSS Extracts software package as an essential feature for managing and purging
data in this file and should not be modified.
This file should NOT be modified directly using VA FileMan.

DESCRIPTION:
A six character string representing the year and the month for which this extract was performed.
TECHNICAL DESCR: YEAR MONTH is derived by parsing the fileman format end date of the extract. The month is
determined by taking the 4th and 5th characters of the end date, the year by taking the 2nd and 3rd
characters, and the century is then calculated by taking the 1st character of the end date, and
adding 17 to it. The Century is then concatenated with the year and month, giving the results in
YYYYMM format.

file (#44). From there, the STATION NUMBER field (#99) is retrieved from the INSTITUTION file (#4)
by calling API RADDIV^ECXDEPT.
For outpatients, the WARD field (#6) within the EXAMINATIONS multiple (#50) of the REGISTERED EXAMS
multiple (#2) of the RAD/NUC MED PATIENT file (#70) is used when calling API RADDIV^ECXDEPT. If the
patient is not assigned to a ward, data are derived from the PRINCIPAL CLINIC field (#8) within the
EXAMINATIONS multiple (#50) of the REGISTERED EXAMS multiple (#2) of the RAD/NUC MED PATIENT file
(#70), which is used by the API RADDIV^ECXDEPT to get the STATION NUMBER field (#99) from the
