How to know when facility data changed in the Facility API

Last updated on December 7, 2022 at 1:53 pm
Some information about a facility comes from the Facility API and is not editable directly in the CMS.

However, sometimes that data changes in a way that a Content Admin needs to know about.
This article is for:
VAMC system
,
Vet Center

The CMS provides a Flagged dashboard for Facilities that had recent changes as a result of information from the Facility API.   Items appear on the Flagged dashboard until they have been processed by a Content Admin and had their flag removed.

Flag types

  • New facility - A new facility appeared in the Facility API and was created in the CMS.  It will need to have the new facility runbook applied based on the type of facility.
    • VHA Facility runbook
    • Vet Center runbook
    • NCA Facility runbook
    • VBA Facility runbook
  • Changed name  - The facility had its name changed by the Facility API and will need the appropriate runbook applied based on the type of facility.
    • VHA Facility runbook
    • Vet Center runbook
    • NCA Facility runbook
    • VBA Facility runbook
  • Removed from source  - The facility no longer appears in the Facility API and will need the appropriate runbook applied based on the type of facility.
    • VHA Facility runbook
    • Vet Center runbook
    • NCA Facility runbook
    • VBA Facility runbook

After processing the appropriate runbook a Content Administrator can go edit the facility and remove the flag by clicking the checkbox next to the flag and saving the facility.
