HELP-PROMPT: Answer with Education Topic Name using 3-70 characters.
DESCRIPTION: This is the name of the Patient Education Topic. Patient Education Topics are the subject on which
a patient needs more information to continue on the road to better health. For example, a patient
may have had some podiatry work done and received foot care education. 'FOOT CARE' would be the
name of the education topic.
Enter a Topic that is 3-70 characters in length.

LAST EDITED: JAN 15, 2019
HELP-PROMPT: Enter 1 to make the education topic inactive or an '@' to make it active.
DESCRIPTION: This field is used to inactivate an education topic. If this field contains a "1" then the
education topic is inactive. Inactive education topics cannot be selected in the manual data entry
process. Education topic entries should be made inactive when they are no longer used. Do not
delete the entry or change the meaning of the education topic entry.
To make an inactive education topic active, enter the symbol "@" to delete the "1" from the field.
TECHNICAL DESCR: This field was added for use by PCE in the VA.
The Inactive flag should be used to manage manual access to education topics, rather than
physically deleting obsolete or inactive entries from the Education Topic file. This allows files
to still point to the obsolete or inactive education topic for historical purposes.
