Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
Over the last few weeks following a series of updates, our ACUCOBOL-GT license consumption has increased dramatically (no change in our workflow or processes), causing a fluctuating inability to use the system and this is impacting patient care. Users are often unable to access eforms or flowcharts for documentation, and we suspect that some of our interface communications are being impacted as well resulting in delayed care, particularly related to radiology services. I recommend that Evident shift processes away from ACUCOBOL-GT dependency as a long term solution. As an immediate solution, I recommend that Evident increase licensure (without charge) so that we (and other facilities which are also experiencing this problem) can continue to provide care to our patients without significant disruption.
Evident is working on shifting away from ACUCOBOL by converting our applications to java and database. This will reduce the reliance on the COBOL licenses and programs. In the meantime, we continue this reliance and sometimes there are problems that will cause licenses to not be released or a change in the way they are used. In these situations, we recommend you contact our Technical Support team as they have tools to determine if a problem is causing it or a steady increase. They will then be able to assist you with the next steps.
