Medefis5 Medical Parsing Updates
What’s new?
VMS Sync now checks for Keywords in the following Medefis5 VMS fields:
| Change | Medefis5 VMS Field |
| Priority | Specialties is now ranked above Type |
Medical parsing logic has been updated for all VMS Positions that support medical parsing. Priority is how VMS Sync decides which Medical Type and Specialty values to assign to a VMS Position. Changes include:
| Specialty | Description |
| Obstetrics
OB/GYN |
Ranked above Special Care Unit |
| Computed Tomograph | Ranked above Magnetic Resonance Imaging |
Keywords are used to derive Medical Type and Specialty values from VMS Position details. The following keywords have changed:
| Keyword | Specialty |
| CT/Rad Tech | Computed Tomography |
Why does it matter?
VMS-specific medical parsing logic is how Sync determines which fields contain the most Keywords and in which order these fields should be parsed. This lets Sync accurately assign a Medical Type and Specialty value to a Position.
VMS Sync assigns a Medical Type and Specialty value to all Healthcare Positions to better categorize the type of work a vendor is requesting.
Medical Type and Specialty values are displayed on the Skill Mapping Dashboard for users to manually associate with ATS field values. This enables users to enforce a specialization-specific Position categorization workflow and ensures unmapped positions aren’t delivered to the ATS until a user has intentionally created a link.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: No permission changes are required for this update. Healthcare users are encouraged to regularly review their Skill Mapping Dashboard and ensure their links are up-to-date.
