Process Overview
PA Logic Solutions, LLC (PAL) implements client requests associated with changes in content for the PA-Logic™ application two times a month. This policy provides a client the ability to plan changes in advance throughout the year, while improving our ability to provide you structured and consistent service associated with the deployment of content changes to PA-Logic. The content release schedule takes into consideration the time necessary for a client to submit a request, PAL to deploy the change to the UAT environment, and sufficient time for a client to validate and approve for release to the production environment.
PAL understands the date sensitivity and importance of many content deliveries for a client. With this in mind, PAL has created the following Content Release Schedule for the upcoming year to provide all clients the ability to perform advanced planning to ensure the content changes are implemented in a time efficient manner allowing a client’s program to succeed. We understand that many content changes have effective dates at the beginning of each month, which continues to be a point of consideration during our schedule creation process. Adherence to the schedule allows PAL to effectively provide clients with accurate dates on the availability of content changes in their production environment of PA-Logic.
PAL requests that we receive all content change requests a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled deployment to production date. This provides the necessary time for PAL to implement content changes in the UAT environment, for clients to perform testing and provide sign-off, and for releasing the change into the production environment on the scheduled date. PAL requires client sign-off in order to move content changes into a client’s production environment.
The Content Release Schedule is associated with the following content areas in PA-Logic™:
- Rationale
- Formulary
- Letter*
- Drug to Tree
- Hierarchy
- Folder configuration changes
*Depending on the number of letters and the magnitude of the modifications to letters required, these changes may require more than two weeks’ prior notification to have them deployed on the targeted release date.
