Identified - VISN Leads, FTCs, TCTs,

Notification Description: There’s a critical issue that may affect care delivery identified with Topcon NW500 image uploads. Specifically, in a few reported issues, images are attaching to old consults rather than the current intended consults with a specific software version, which may result in delayed uploads, needed correction or delayed reviews. This seems to impact when multiple tele eye studies are completed within the same year. We are attempting to gather more information.

Affected Devices: Topcon NW500

Action Required: If your facility has experienced images from the NW500 device attaching to old consults at any time since last year, or if you have recently resolved related incidents, please submit tickets to OCCHD at 866-651-3180 or via the Portal https://portal.occhdsupport.com and provide the following details:

• Date(s) the issue occurred
• How you became aware of the issue
• Description and details of the issue
• OCCHD ticket number (if one has been submitted)

Your timely response is essential to help us assess the scope and coordinate further action if needed. Thank you for your immediate attention to this important matter.

Identified - Telehealth Management Platform (TMP) Users,

Notification Description: Technical Support Tiers have identified an issue with VA Video Connect (VVC) visits created in the Telehealth Management Platform (TMP). TMP currently does not support sending participant invitations by email or text within session using the VVC “Invite Participant Now” feature. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Affected Application: TMP

Workarounds:
• To add VA staff: Copy the meeting URL from the browser address bar and share it via Teams chat with the intended staff member. Alternatively, the provider can forward the email from TMP that contains the VVC link to the additional staff member(s).
• To add non-VA participants (e.g., family/friends): Open the appointment in TMP and use the "Additional VMR Recipients" tab to send the link externally.

If you have any questions, please contact the OCCHD at 866-651-3180 or via the Portal https://occhdsupport.ironbow.com/dva .
