Description:	AudioRefill is a prescription renewal request solution, allowing patients to request a renewal of their prescriptions directly via telephone. This automated system includes functionality to alert patients when a prescription has expired and alerts healthcare providers and pharmacists when a renewal has been requested. All Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) are retrieved from Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), and are used to identify and validate the patient calling. Further, information is written to the Cache database or Intuitive Reliable Interoperative Scalable (IRIS) for Health in order to create reports that include details regarding phone calls that were placed and the financial information that was relayed to the patient. Note: There is no dedicated site for this technology.

Release/Version Information:

VA decisions for specific versions may include a ‘.x’ wildcard, which denotes a decision that pertains to a range of multiple versions.

For example, a technology approved with a decision for 7.x would cover any version of 7.(Anything) - 7.(Anything). However, a 7.4.x decision would cover any version of 7.4.(Anything), but would not cover any version of 7.5.x or 7.6.x on the TRM.

VA decisions for specific versions may include ‘+’ symbols; which denotes that the decision for the version specified also includes versions greater than what is specified but is not to exceed or affect previous decimal places.

For example, a technology approved with a decision for 12.6.4+ would cover any version that is greater than 12.6.4, but would not exceed the .6 decimal ie: 12.6.401 is ok, 12.6.5 is ok, 12.6.9 is ok, however 12.7.0 or 13.0 is not.
