<p>Hydenseek: </p> <hr /> <div>As a new user and proponent of the WorldVistA Electronic Health Record, I will document on this page my personal experience using the software on a test system in my home.<br /> <br /> '''How I became interested:'''<br /> <br /> I suppose I am like the majority of people, I have always been in good health, had medical insurance and had very limited contact with the Health Care System, yet assumed I knew "how it all worked" if I did need to use it.<br /> <br /> A recent health issue left me reeling with disbelief with regard to the lack of patient health information being readily available to the very health care providers who needed it. Every visit to a hospital, doctor, or clinic seemed as though I were visiting an island known only to itself. I would fill out the same paperwork over and over: Name, address, wife's name, allergies, past surgeries, and on and on. Most places did not use a computer but relied on a paper record system to keep track of my information. I thought to myself this is the most inefficient system I have ever seen. I mean we live in an age where I can buy a widget at WalMart in Syracuse, fly to Chicago and the WalMart clerk there can tell me what I bought, where I bought it and how much I paid for it in seconds.<br /> <br /> This prompted me to begin searching for the reason things were the way they were.<br /> I came across Google Health and immediately began a health record for myself. If I went to a new doctor I printed out my Google Health record and they were amazed at what I had done in so short a time. But the health record information is for them to gather not me,(fortunately I was still healthy enough to be able to build the record) so I looked further and soon found WorldVistaEHR.<br /> <br /> Now here was a free piece of software that ran the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the world and I became an immediate fan. But why wasn't everyone using it? It turns out that WorldvistA is too good, too complete, and too not Windows. Everyone wants a point and click interface and WV is far from that, except for CPRS of course.<br /> <br /> I have known for a long time that a piece of software will never learn how you want it to behave, you MUST learn how it behaves so I set about learning how it functions. Enter HardHats, a dedicated group of individuals whose goal is to further the acceptance of VistA and its derivatives in applications outside the VA. If not for these HardHats, VistA would be dead and buried never to see life outside the VA. What they are trying to accomplish is akin to moving a mountain, they number perhaps a few hundred strong yet have turned the heads of many people.<br /> <br /> '''How I began:'''<br /> <br /> Initially I was overwhelmed with the capability of the program from what I read. I wanted to learn a program that would help the small clinic or doctor's office, not run St. Judes Hospital. But the more I read the more I realized that this program could scale to any level of complexity with its modular architecture.<br /> I decided to download the demo from the Worldvista.org website to kick the tires a bit.<br /> Installation was straight forward and the demo ran flawlessly. After a week I decided to try a client server test setup using Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows Vista HP.<br /> It seemed that the Astronaut Installer was the quickest and most reliable way to setup the system. It was a breeze to install both server and TMG-CPRS with Astronaut. Now the fun begins.....<br /> <br /> My first hurdle was to log on to the server. To do this required changing the Access/ Verify codes for an existing doctor, in my case Doctor,One<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to do this:<br /> <br /> Open a terminal<br /> <br /> enter choice 3 in Vista Commander<br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> Select OPTION NAME:1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: REMOTE PROCEDURE// 200 NEW PERSON<br /> (74 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// Access CODE Want to edit ACCESS CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD: verify<br /> 1 VERIFY CODE Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> 2 VERIFY CODE never expires<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 1 Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> You are then at Doctor, One's entry and can change his login codes. As soon as he logs in he will have to change to a new access and verify code for security reasons.<br /> <br /> You can now login using CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) as Doctor,One<br /> <br /> To make the system more realistic go back to a terminal and press 3 as before.<br /> <br /> then press 1 when asked for the Option Name<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: 200 NEW PERSON//<br /> <br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> Now press enter until you get down to the e Sign entry and enter a new e sign code for the good doctor. This will let you sign orders etc. for patients, just like a real doctor!!<br /> <br /> Time to PuTTY:<br /> <br /> I discovered that it was a pain to keep running into the other room where the server is located to open a terminal and use the roll and scroll interface. To use one computer just download the PuTTY terminal emulator to your windows machine and use it to connect to a terminal on the server--much more convenient!<br /> <br /> Next I wanted to pretend to be a small clinic, keeping in mind that most interaction with Vista is done through CPRS, I needed to let CPRS know about this new clinic. This post from John Leo Zimmer explains how:<br /> <br /> Dear hydelake,<br /> <br /> You want to add an outpatient site so CPRS sees two sites as opposed to just<br /> the default "Dr Office".<br /> <br /> In FileMan you want to edit the HOSPITAL LOCATION file, #44.<br /> First look at the existing DR OFFICE entry.<br /> Then you can add another similar to it.<br /> <br /> An easy way to accomplish that is with the FileMan function:<br /> *Transfer Entries:*<br /> <br /> Select TRANSFER OPTION: *1 *(TRANSFER FILE ENTRIES)<br /> Input to what File: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*<br /> TRANSFER FROM FILE: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*//<br /> TRANSFER DATA INTO WHICH HOSPITAL LOCATION: *NEW CLINIC*<br /> Are you adding 'NEW CLINIC' as a new HOSPITAL LOCATION (the 6TH)? No// y<br /> (Yes)<br /> HOSPITAL LOCATION TYPE: *C * CLINIC<br /> TRANSFER FROM HOSPITAL LOCATION: *DR OFFICE*<br /> WANT TO DELETE THIS ENTRY AFTER IT'S TRANSFERRED? No// * (No)*<br /> <br /> Give that a try, have a look with CPRS, and you should now have two clinics,<br /> DR OFFICE and NEW CLINIC. (Edit NEW CLINIC to have its own abbreviation,<br /> perhaps "NC", instead of "DR")<br /> <br /> jlz<br /> <br /> There are probably references to proper clinic setup somewhere in the VDL<br /> and perhaps a menu option that should be used. But try this for now. Let us<br /> know when you get stuck. (count on it.) :-) <br /> <br /> That allowed the creation of "River Clinic" so I could see patients.<br /> <br /> Next I needed patients. The easiest, quickest way to get a patient into the system is to use the "add patient" feature in TMG-CPRS. This will get you a sick person to treat. If you want to enter a lot of personal info after using "add patient" you'll need to use PuTTy and edit the Patient File. Now as it turns out editing the Patient File is not as simple as firing up FileMan and telling it to edit the Patient File and then select a patient. If you try you'll get this screen:<br /> <br /> Prompt> 3<br /> <br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION: 1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: LABORATORY TEST// patient<br /> 1 PATIENT (8 entries)<br /> 2 PATIENT ALLERGIES (5 entries)<br /> 3 PATIENT APPOINTMENT INFO LOG (0 entries)<br /> 4 PATIENT CONSCIOUSNESS (7 entries)<br /> 5 PATIENT DATA ELEMENT (0 entries)<br /> Press <RETURN> to see more, '^' to exit this list, OR<br /> CHOOSE 1-5: 1 PATIENT (8 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Unable to proceed.

Nancy Anthracite provides the key in this post:<br /> <br /> Are you first setting your DUZ and then running and exiting from D ^XUP before<br /> entering fileman? That is always SOP if you come in with nothing but setting<br /> the DUZ because it populates the symbol table.<br /> <br /> For example:<br /> <br /> nancy@owl:~$ gtm <br /> <br /> GTM>S DUZ=9 (use your real DUZ here, 9 is the DUZ of COORDINATOR,FIVE)<br /> <br /> GTM>ZWR<br /> DUZ=9 <br /> <br /> GTM>D ^XUP<br /> <br /> Setting up programmer environment<br /> This is a TEST account. <br /> <br /> Terminal Type set to: C-VT100<br /> <br /> You have 46 new messages.<br /> Select OPTION NAME: <br /> GTM>ZWR<br /> <br /> DILOCKTM=3<br /> <br /> DISYS=19 <br /> <br /> DT=3090823<br /> <br /> DTIME=9999<br /> <br /> DUZ=9<br /> <br /> DUZ(0)="@"<br /> <br /> DUZ(1)=""<br /> <br /> DUZ(2)=67<br /> <br /> DUZ("AG")="E"<br /> <br /> DUZ("BUF")=1<br /> <br /> DUZ("LANG")=""<br /> <br /> IO="/dev/pts/5"<br /> <br /> IO(0)="/dev/pts/5"<br /> <br /> IO(1,"/dev/pts/5")=""<br /> <br /> IO("ERROR")=""<br /> <br /> IO("HOME")="50^/dev/pts/5"<br /> <br /> IO("ZIO")="/dev/pts/5"<br /> <br /> IOBS="$C(8)"<br /> <br /> IOF="#,$C(27,91,50,74,27,91,72)"<br /> <br /> IOM=80<br /> <br /> ION="TELNET"<br /> <br /> IOS=50<br /> <br /> IOSL=24<br /> <br /> IOST="C-VT100"<br /> <br /> IOST(0)=9<br /> <br /> IOT="VTRM"<br /> <br /> IOXY="W $C(27,91)_((DY+1))_$C(59)_((DX+1))_$C(72)"<br /> <br /> U="^"<br /> <br /> X="5;DIC(4.2,"<br /> <br /> XPARSYS="5;DIC(4.2,"<br /> <br /> XQXFLG="^^XUP"<br /> <br /> GTM> NOW GO INTO FILEMAN<br /> <br /> On Saturday 22 August 2009, hydelake wrote:<br /> <br /> > This has worked in the past but now refuses.<br /> <br /> > I enter Fileman and choose edit file entries<br /> <br /> > Edit which file<br /> > Patient<br /> > which fields//All<br /> <br /> > unable to proceed DUZ(2) is undefined<br /> <br /> > what is Fileman telling me?<br /> <br /> > Thanks<br /> > Tim<br /> <br /> -- <br /> Nancy Anthracite <br /> <br /> Now Fileman will let you edit the Patient File normally.<br /> <br /> To find your DUZ:<br /> <br /> Prompt> 1<br /> <br /> Setting up programmer environment<br /> This is a TEST account.<br /> <br /> Terminal Type set to: C-VT320<br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME: eve<br /> 1 EVE Systems Manager Menu<br /> 2 EVENT CAPTURE (ECS) EXTRACT AU ECX ECS SOURCE AUDIT Event Capture<br /> (ECS) Extract Audit<br /> 3 EVENT CAPTURE DATA ENTRY ECENTER Event Capture Data Entry<br /> 4 EVENT CAPTURE EXTRACT ECXEC Event Capture Extract<br /> 5 EVENT CAPTURE MANAGEMENT MENU ECMGR Event Capture Management Menu<br /> Press <RETURN> to see more, '^' to exit this list, OR<br /> CHOOSE 1-5: 1 EVE Systems Manager Menu<br /> <br /> <br /> Core Applications ...<br /> Device Management ...<br /> Menu Management ...<br /> Programmer Options ...<br /> Operations Management ...<br /> Spool Management ...<br /> Information Security Officer Menu ...<br /> Taskman Management ...<br /> User Management ...<br /> FM VA FileMan ...<br /> Application Utilities ...<br /> Capacity Planning ...<br /> HL7 Main Menu ...<br /> Manage Mailman ...<br /> MAS Parameter Entry/Edit<br /> <br /> Select Systems Manager Menu Option: user Management<br /> <br /> <br /> Add a New User to the System<br /> Grant Access by Profile<br /> Edit an Existing User<br /> Deactivate a User<br /> Reactivate a User<br /> List users<br /> User Inquiry<br /> Switch Identities<br /> File Access Security ...<br /> **> Out of order: ACCESS DISABLED<br /> Clear Electronic signature code<br /> Electronic Signature Block Edit<br /> Manage User File ...<br /> OAA Trainee Registration Menu ...<br /> Person Class Edit<br /> Reprint Access agreement letter<br /> <br /> Select User Management Option: list users<br /> <br /> START WITH NAME: FIRST//<br /> <br /> DEVICE: TELNET<br /> <br /> [[Image:terminal_pic.jpg]] <br /> <br /> This lists all people in the New Person #200 file on your screen and the USER LIST NUMBER is the DUZ for that person, it never changes so write down your DUZ.<br /> <br /> <br /> I had a problem a couple days ago. When I started CPRS the program would not load my clinical reminders or recent lab results stating that it was "retrieving in background". A post to Hardhats confirmed it was a TaskMan issue and the report from D ^XUP,EVE,TAS,TAS,MON said that the TaskMan job limit had been reached. My initial solution was simply to increase the job limit from 100 to 200 then Skip Ormsby provided this bit of insight:<br /> <br /> Sounds to me like what is happening is instead of a hard crash, is what I<br /> would call a soft crash, that is TaskMan is not being Stopped before GT.M is<br /> shut down. I remembered there was a message about the hard crash and there<br /> was a node that needed fixing. I searched on "xusys" with the quotes and<br /> found the message, "Taskman active jobs"<br /> In the message Rick suggests setting ^XUTL("XUSYS","CNT") equal to one. You<br /> also might like to consider this (and here is a good reason for using the<br /> menu, rather than calling something direct):<br /> Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: INSTALL// 19 OPTION (9907 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// ENTRY ACTION<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME: RESTART TASK MANAGER XUTM RESTART Restart Task<br /> Manager<br /> ENTRY ACTION: S:$E(^%ZOSF("OS"),1,2)="GT" ^XUTL("XUSYS","CNT")=1<br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> <br /> TST>D ^XUP<br /> <br /> Setting up programmer environment<br /> This is a TEST account.<br /> <br /> Terminal Type set to: C-VT100<br /> <br /> You have 106 new messages.<br /> Select OPTION NAME: TASKMAN MAN<br /> 1 TASKMAN MANAGEMENT XUTM MGR Taskman Management<br /> 2 TASKMAN MANAGEMENT UTILITIES XUTM UTIL Taskman Management<br /> Utilitie<br /> s<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 2 XUTM UTIL Taskman Management Utilities<br /> <br /> MTM Monitor Taskman<br /> Check Taskman's Environment<br /> Edit Taskman Parameters ...<br /> Restart Task Manager<br /> Place Taskman in a WAIT State<br /> Remove Taskman from WAIT State<br /> Stop Task Manager<br /> Taskman Error Log ...<br /> Clean Task File<br /> Problem Device Clear<br /> Problem Device report.<br /> SYNC flag file control<br /> <br /> Select Taskman Management Utilities Option:<br /> <br /> I would be something somebody could try and check out, if this is a good<br /> idea or not. <br /> <br /> He was right because lately I had been unwittingly "soft crashing" Taskman through an improper shut down procedure I had adopted and TaskMan jobs were continuing to run and not being tagged as completed each time I shutdown. I believe I have cured this by shutting down TaskMan cleaning the jobs queue and restarting TaskMan. I then reset the job limit back to 100 and all seems fine.<br /> From now on I will shutdown TaskMan manually then quit GTM when I shutdown the server.</div>

You<br /> also might like to consider this (and here is a good reason for using the<br /> menu, rather than calling something direct):<br /> Select OPTION: ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: INSTALL// 19 OPTION (9907 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// ENTRY ACTION<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME: RESTART TASK MANAGER XUTM RESTART Restart Task<br /> Manager<br /> ENTRY ACTION: S:$E(^%ZOSF("OS"),1,2)="GT" ^XUTL("XUSYS","CNT")=1<br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> <br /> TST>D ^XUP<br /> <br /> Setting up programmer environment<br /> This is a TEST account.<br /> <br /> Terminal Type set to: C-VT100<br /> <br /> You have 106 new messages.<br /> Select OPTION NAME: TASKMAN MAN<br /> 1 TASKMAN MANAGEMENT XUTM MGR Taskman Management<br /> 2 TASKMAN MANAGEMENT UTILITIES XUTM UTIL Taskman Management<br /> Utilitie<br /> s<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 2 XUTM UTIL Taskman Management Utilities<br /> <br /> MTM Monitor Taskman<br /> Check Taskman's Environment<br /> Edit Taskman Parameters ...<br /> Restart Task Manager<br /> Place Taskman in a WAIT State<br /> Remove Taskman from WAIT State<br /> Stop Task Manager<br /> Taskman Error Log ...<br /> Clean Task File<br /> Problem Device Clear<br /> Problem Device report.<br /> SYNC flag file control<br /> <br /> Select Taskman Management Utilities Option:<br /> <br /> I would be something somebody could try and check out, if this is a good<br /> idea or not. <br /> <br /> He was right because lately I had been unwittingly "soft crashing" Taskman through an improper shut down procedure I had adopted and TaskMan jobs were continuing to run and not being tagged as completed each time I shutdown. I believe I have cured this by shutting down TaskMan cleaning the jobs queue and restarting TaskMan. I then reset the job limit back to 100 and all seems fine.<br /> From now on I will shutdown TaskMan manually then quit GTM when I shutdown the server.</div>

<p>Hydenseek: </p> <hr /> <div>As a new user and proponent of the WorldVistA Electronic Health Record, I will document on this page my personal experience using the software on a test system in my home.<br /> <br /> '''How I became interested:'''<br /> <br /> I suppose I am like the majority of people, I have always been in good health, had medical insurance and had very limited contact with the Health Care System, yet assumed I knew "how it all worked" if I did need to use it.<br /> <br /> A recent health issue left me reeling with disbelief with regard to the lack of patient health information being readily available to the very health care providers who needed it. Every visit to a hospital, doctor, or clinic seemed as though I were visiting an island known only to itself. I would fill out the same paperwork over and over: Name, address, wife's name, allergies, past surgeries, and on and on. Most places did not use a computer but relied on a paper record system to keep track of my information. I thought to myself this is the most inefficient system I have ever seen. I mean we live in an age where I can buy a widget at WalMart in Syracuse, fly to Chicago and the WalMart clerk there can tell me what I bought, where I bought it and how much I paid for it in seconds.<br /> <br /> This prompted me to begin searching for the reason things were the way they were.<br /> I came across Google Health and immediately began a health record for myself. If I went to a new doctor I printed out my Google Health record and they were amazed at what I had done in so short a time. But the health record information is for them to gather not me,(fortunately I was still healthy enough to be able to build the record) so I looked further and soon found WorldVistaEHR.<br /> <br /> Now here was a free piece of software that ran the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the world and I became an immediate fan. But why wasn't everyone using it? It turns out that WorldvistA is too good, too complete, and too not Windows. Everyone wants a point and click interface and WV is far from that, except for CPRS of course.<br /> <br /> I have known for a long time that a piece of software will never learn how you want it to behave, you MUST learn how it behaves so I set about learning how it functions. Enter HardHats, a dedicated group of individuals whose goal is to further the acceptance of VistA and its derivatives in applications outside the VA. If not for these HardHats, VistA would be dead and buried never to see life outside the VA. What they are trying to accomplish is akin to moving a mountain, they number perhaps a few hundred strong yet have turned the heads of many people.<br /> <br /> '''How I began:'''<br /> <br /> Initially I was overwhelmed with the capability of the program from what I read. I wanted to learn a program that would help the small clinic or doctor's office, not run St. Judes Hospital. But the more I read the more I realized that this program could scale to any level of complexity with its modular architecture.<br /> I decided to download the demo from the Worldvista.org website to kick the tires a bit.<br /> Installation was straight forward and the demo ran flawlessly. After a week I decided to try a client server test setup using Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows Vista HP.<br /> It seemed that the Astronaut Installer was the quickest and most reliable way to setup the system. It was a breeze to install both server and TMG-CPRS with Astronaut. Now the fun begins.....<br /> <br /> My first hurdle was to log on to the server. To do this required changing the Access/ Verify codes for an existing doctor, in my case Doctor,One<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to do this:<br /> <br /> Open a terminal<br /> <br /> enter choice 3 in Vista Commander<br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> Select OPTION NAME:1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: REMOTE PROCEDURE// 200 NEW PERSON<br /> (74 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// Access CODE Want to edit ACCESS CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD: verify<br /> 1 VERIFY CODE Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> 2 VERIFY CODE never expires<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 1 Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> You are then at Doctor, One's entry and can change his login codes. As soon as he logs in he will have to change to a new access and verify code for security reasons.<br /> <br /> You can now login using CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) as Doctor,One<br /> <br /> To make the system more realistic go back to a terminal and press 3 as before.<br /> <br /> then press 1 when asked for the Option Name<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: 200 NEW PERSON//<br /> <br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> Now press enter until you get down to the e Sign entry and enter a new e sign code for the good doctor. This will let you sign orders etc. for patients, just like a real doctor!!<br /> <br /> Time to PuTTY:<br /> <br /> I discovered that it was a pain to keep running into the other room where the server is located to open a terminal and use the roll and scroll interface. To use one computer just download the PuTTY terminal emulator to your windows machine and use it to connect to a terminal on the server--much more convenient!<br /> <br /> Next I wanted to pretend to be a small clinic, keeping in mind that most interaction with Vista is done through CPRS, I needed to let CPRS know about this new clinic. This post from John Leo Zimmer explains how:<br /> <br /> Dear hydelake,<br /> <br /> You want to add an outpatient site so CPRS sees two sites as opposed to just<br /> the default "Dr Office".<br /> <br /> In FileMan you want to edit the HOSPITAL LOCATION file, #44.<br /> First look at the existing DR OFFICE entry.<br /> Then you can add another similar to it.<br /> <br /> An easy way to accomplish that is with the FileMan function:<br /> *Transfer Entries:*<br /> <br /> Select TRANSFER OPTION: *1 *(TRANSFER FILE ENTRIES)<br /> Input to what File: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*<br /> TRANSFER FROM FILE: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*//<br /> TRANSFER DATA INTO WHICH HOSPITAL LOCATION: *NEW CLINIC*<br /> Are you adding 'NEW CLINIC' as a new HOSPITAL LOCATION (the 6TH)? No// y<br /> (Yes)<br /> HOSPITAL LOCATION TYPE: *C * CLINIC<br /> TRANSFER FROM HOSPITAL LOCATION: *DR OFFICE*<br /> WANT TO DELETE THIS ENTRY AFTER IT'S TRANSFERRED? No// * (No)*<br /> <br /> Give that a try, have a look with CPRS, and you should now have two clinics,<br /> DR OFFICE and NEW CLINIC. (Edit NEW CLINIC to have its own abbreviation,<br /> perhaps "NC", instead of "DR")<br /> <br /> jlz<br /> <br /> There are probably references to proper clinic setup somewhere in the VDL<br /> and perhaps a menu option that should be used. But try this for now. Let us<br /> know when you get stuck. (count on it.) :-) <br /> <br /> That allowed the creation of "River Clinic" so I could see patients.<br /> <br /> Next I needed patients. The easiest, quickest way to get a patient into the system is to use the "add patient" feature in TMG-CPRS. This will get you a sick person to treat. If you want to enter a lot of personal info after using "add patient" you'll need to use PuTTy and edit the Patient File. Now as it turns out editing the Patient File is not as simple as firing up FileMan and telling it to edit the Patient File and then select a patient. If you try you'll get this screen:<br /> <br /> Prompt> 3<br /> <br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION: 1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: LABORATORY TEST// patient<br /> 1 PATIENT (8 entries)<br /> 2 PATIENT ALLERGIES (5 entries)<br /> 3 PATIENT APPOINTMENT INFO LOG (0 entries)<br /> 4 PATIENT CONSCIOUSNESS (7 entries)<br /> 5 PATIENT DATA ELEMENT (0 entries)<br /> Press <RETURN> to see more, '^' to exit this list, OR<br /> CHOOSE 1-5: 1 PATIENT (8 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Unable to proceed.

Nancy Anthracite provides the key in this post:<br /> <br /> Are you first setting your DUZ and then running and exiting from D ^XUP before<br /> entering fileman?

After a week I decided to try a client server test setup using Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows Vista HP.<br /> It seemed that the Astronaut Installer was the quickest and most reliable way to setup the system. It was a breeze to install both server and TMG-CPRS with Astronaut. Now the fun begins.....<br /> <br /> My first hurdle was to log on to the server. To do this required changing the Access/ Verify codes for an existing doctor, in my case Doctor,One<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to do this:<br /> <br /> Open a terminal<br /> <br /> enter choice 3 in Vista Commander<br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> Select OPTION NAME:1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: REMOTE PROCEDURE// 200 NEW PERSON<br /> (74 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// Access CODE Want to edit ACCESS CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD: verify<br /> 1 VERIFY CODE Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> 2 VERIFY CODE never expires<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 1 Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> You are then at Doctor, One's entry and can change his login codes. As soon as he logs in he will have to change to a new access and verify code for security reasons.<br /> <br /> You can now login using CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) as Doctor,One<br /> <br /> To make the system more realistic go back to a terminal and press 3 as before.<br /> <br /> then press 1 when asked for the Option Name<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: 200 NEW PERSON//<br /> <br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> Now press enter until you get down to the e Sign entry and enter a new e sign code for the good doctor. This will let you sign orders etc. for patients, just like a real doctor!!<br /> <br /> Time to PuTTY:<br /> <br /> I discovered that it was a pain to keep running into the other room where the server is located to open a terminal and use the roll and scroll interface. To use one computer just download the PuTTY terminal emulator to your windows machine and use it to connect to a terminal on the server--much more convenient!<br /> <br /> Next I wanted to pretend to be a small clinic, keeping in mind that most interaction with Vista is done through CPRS, I needed to let CPRS know about this new clinic. This post from John Leo Zimmer explains how:<br /> <br /> Dear hydelake,<br /> <br /> You want to add an outpatient site so CPRS sees two sites as opposed to just<br /> the default "Dr Office".<br /> <br /> In FileMan you want to edit the HOSPITAL LOCATION file, #44.<br /> First look at the existing DR OFFICE entry.<br /> Then you can add another similar to it.<br /> <br /> An easy way to accomplish that is with the FileMan function:<br /> *Transfer Entries:*<br /> <br /> Select TRANSFER OPTION: *1 *(TRANSFER FILE ENTRIES)<br /> Input to what File: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*<br /> TRANSFER FROM FILE: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*//<br /> TRANSFER DATA INTO WHICH HOSPITAL LOCATION: *NEW CLINIC*<br /> Are you adding 'NEW CLINIC' as a new HOSPITAL LOCATION (the 6TH)? No// y<br /> (Yes)<br /> HOSPITAL LOCATION TYPE: *C * CLINIC<br /> TRANSFER FROM HOSPITAL LOCATION: *DR OFFICE*<br /> WANT TO DELETE THIS ENTRY AFTER IT'S TRANSFERRED? No// * (No)*<br /> <br /> Give that a try, have a look with CPRS, and you should now have two clinics,<br /> DR OFFICE and NEW CLINIC. (Edit NEW CLINIC to have its own abbreviation,<br /> perhaps "NC", instead of "DR")<br /> <br /> jlz<br /> <br /> There are probably references to proper clinic setup somewhere in the VDL<br /> and perhaps a menu option that should be used. But try this for now. Let us<br /> know when you get stuck. (count on it.) :-) <br /> <br /> That allowed the creation of "River Clinic" so I could see patients.<br /> <br /> Next I needed patients. The easiest, quickest way to get a patient into the system is to use the "add patient" feature in TMG-CPRS. This will get you a sick person to treat. If you want to enter a lot of personal info after using "add patient" you'll need to use PuTTy and edit the Patient File. Now as it turns out editing the Patient File is not as simple as firing up FileMan and telling it to edit the Patient File and then select a patient.

<p>Hydenseek: </p> <hr /> <div>As a new user and proponent of the WorldVistA Electronic Health Record, I will document on this page my personal experience using the software on a test system in my home.<br /> <br /> '''How I became interested:'''<br /> <br /> I suppose I am like the majority of people, I have always been in good health, had medical insurance and had very limited contact with the Health Care System, yet assumed I knew "how it all worked" if I did need to use it.<br /> <br /> A recent health issue left me reeling with disbelief with regard to the lack of patient health information being readily available to the very health care providers who needed it. Every visit to a hospital, doctor, or clinic seemed as though I were visiting an island known only to itself. I would fill out the same paperwork over and over: Name, address, wife's name, allergies, past surgeries, and on and on. Most places did not use a computer but relied on a paper record system to keep track of my information. I thought to myself this is the most inefficient system I have ever seen. I mean we live in an age where I can buy a widget at WalMart in Syracuse, fly to Chicago and the WalMart clerk there can tell me what I bought, where I bought it and how much I paid for it in seconds.<br /> <br /> This prompted me to begin searching for the reason things were the way they were.<br /> I came across Google Health and immediately began a health record for myself. If I went to a new doctor I printed out my Google Health record and they were amazed at what I had done in so short a time. But the health record information is for them to gather not me,(fortunately I was still healthy enough to be able to build the record) so I looked further and soon found WorldVistaEHR.<br /> <br /> Now here was a free piece of software that ran the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the world and I became an immediate fan. But why wasn't everyone using it? It turns out that WorldvistA is too good, too complete, and too not Windows. Everyone wants a point and click interface and WV is far from that, except for CPRS of course.<br /> <br /> I have known for a long time that a piece of software will never learn how you want it to behave, you MUST learn how it behaves so I set about learning how it functions.

To do this required changing the Access/ Verify codes for an existing doctor, in my case Doctor,One<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to do this:<br /> <br /> Open a terminal<br /> <br /> enter choice 3 in Vista Commander<br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> Select OPTION NAME:1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: REMOTE PROCEDURE// 200 NEW PERSON<br /> (74 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// Access CODE Want to edit ACCESS CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD: verify<br /> 1 VERIFY CODE Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> 2 VERIFY CODE never expires<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 1 Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> You are then at Doctor, One's entry and can change his login codes. As soon as he logs in he will have to change to a new access and verify code for security reasons.<br /> <br /> You can now login using CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) as Doctor,One<br /> <br /> To make the system more realistic go back to a terminal and press 3 as before.<br /> <br /> then press 1 when asked for the Option Name<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: 200 NEW PERSON//<br /> <br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> Now press enter until you get down to the e Sign entry and enter a new e sign code for the good doctor. This will let you sign orders etc. for patients, just like a real doctor!!<br /> <br /> Time to PuTTY:<br /> <br /> I discovered that it was a pain to keep running into the other room where the server is located to open a terminal and use the roll and scroll interface. To use one computer just download the PuTTY terminal emulator to your windows machine and use it to connect to a terminal on the server--much more convenient!<br /> <br /> Next I wanted to pretend to be a small clinic, keeping in mind that most interaction with Vista is done through CPRS, I needed to let CPRS know about this new clinic. This post from John Leo Zimmer explains how:<br /> <br /> Dear hydelake,<br /> <br /> You want to add an outpatient site so CPRS sees two sites as opposed to just<br /> the default "Dr Office".<br /> <br /> In FileMan you want to edit the HOSPITAL LOCATION file, #44.<br /> First look at the existing DR OFFICE entry.<br /> Then you can add another similar to it.<br /> <br /> An easy way to accomplish that is with the FileMan function:<br /> *Transfer Entries:*<br /> <br /> Select TRANSFER OPTION: *1 *(TRANSFER FILE ENTRIES)<br /> Input to what File: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*<br /> TRANSFER FROM FILE: *HOSPITAL LOCATION*//<br /> TRANSFER DATA INTO WHICH HOSPITAL LOCATION: *NEW CLINIC*<br /> Are you adding 'NEW CLINIC' as a new HOSPITAL LOCATION (the 6TH)? No// y<br /> (Yes)<br /> HOSPITAL LOCATION TYPE: *C * CLINIC<br /> TRANSFER FROM HOSPITAL LOCATION: *DR OFFICE*<br /> WANT TO DELETE THIS ENTRY AFTER IT'S TRANSFERRED? No// * (No)*<br /> <br /> Give that a try, have a look with CPRS, and you should now have two clinics,<br /> DR OFFICE and NEW CLINIC. (Edit NEW CLINIC to have its own abbreviation,<br /> perhaps "NC", instead of "DR")<br /> <br /> jlz<br /> <br /> There are probably references to proper clinic setup somewhere in the VDL<br /> and perhaps a menu option that should be used. But try this for now. Let us<br /> know when you get stuck. (count on it.) :-) <br /> <br /> That allowed the creation of "River Clinic" so I could see patients.<br /> <br /> Next I needed patients. The easiest, quickest way to get a patient into the system is to use the "add patient" feature in TMG-CPRS. This will get you a sick person to treat. If you want to enter a lot of personal info after using "add patient" you'll need to use PuTTy and edit the Patient File. Now as it turns out editing the Patient File is not as simple as firing up FileMan and telling it to edit the Patient File and then select a patient.

<p>Hydenseek: </p> <hr /> <div>As a new user and proponent of the WorldVistA Electronic Health Record, I will document on this page my personal experience using the software on a test system in my home.<br /> <br /> '''How I became interested:'''<br /> <br /> I suppose I am like the majority of people, I have always been in good health, had medical insurance and had very limited contact with the Health Care System, yet assumed I knew "how it all worked" if I did need to use it.<br /> <br /> A recent health issue left me reeling with disbelief with regard to the lack of patient health information being readily available to the very health care providers who needed it. Every visit to a hospital, doctor, or clinic seemed as though I were visiting an island known only to itself. I would fill out the same paperwork over and over: Name, address, wife's name, allergies, past surgeries, and on and on. Most places did not use a computer but relied on a paper record system to keep track of my information. I thought to myself this is the most inefficient system I have ever seen. I mean we live in an age where I can buy a widget at WalMart in Syracuse, fly to Chicago and the WalMart clerk there can tell me what I bought, where I bought it and how much I paid for it in seconds.<br /> <br /> This prompted me to begin searching for the reason things were the way they were.<br /> I came across Google Health and immediately began a health record for myself. If I went to a new doctor I printed out my Google Health record and they were amazed at what I had done in so short a time. But the health record information is for them to gather not me,(fortunately I was still healthy enough to be able to build the record) so I looked further and soon found WorldVistaEHR.<br /> <br /> Now here was a free piece of software that ran the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the world and I became an immediate fan. But why wasn't everyone using it? It turns out that WorldvistA is too good, too complete, and too not Windows. Everyone wants a point and click interface and WV is far from that, except for CPRS of course.<br /> <br /> I have known for a long time that a piece of software will never learn how you want it to behave, you MUST learn how it behaves so I set about learning how it functions. Enter HardHats, a dedicated group of individuals whose goal is to further the acceptance of VistA and its derivatives in applications outside the VA. If not for these HardHats, VistA would be dead and buried never to see life outside the VA. What they are trying to accomplish is akin to moving a mountain, they number perhaps a few hundred strong yet have turned the heads of many people.<br /> <br /> '''How I began:'''<br /> <br /> Initially I was overwhelmed with the capability of the program from what I read. I wanted to learn a program that would help the small clinic or doctor's office, not run St. Judes Hospital. But the more I read the more I realized that this program could scale to any level of complexity with its modular architecture.<br /> I decided to download the demo from the Worldvista.org website to kick the tires a bit.<br /> Installation was straight forward and the demo ran flawlessly. After a week I decided to try a client server test setup using Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows Vista HP.<br /> It seemed that the Astronaut Installer was the quickest and most reliable way to setup the system. It was a breeze to install both server and TMG-CPRS with Astronaut. Now the fun begins.....<br /> <br /> My first hurdle was to log on to the server.

<p>Hydenseek: </p> <hr /> <div>In CPRS, if you click on the cover sheet in the vitals area, something will pop up, but you can't use it until you create a template. This is done using a GUI called the Vitals Manager. This is done as follows:<br /> <br /> <br /> Make a new directory called Common File under Program Files, i.e.,<br /> <br /> C:\Program Files\Vista\Common Files\ <br /> <br /> on a Windows machine. This is a Delphi GUI so until there is a way to run it on Wine or some other solution, this will have to be done on a Windows machine but it can connect to VistA on any type of server that is running VistA. Depending upon what else you have running on the Windows machine, this directory may already exist.<br /> <br /> Get the VITL5_3.ZIP and VITL5_P18.EXE from <br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/VISTA_FOIA_RELEASES_BEFORE_2008/Gen%20Med%20Rec%20-%20Vitals%20-%20GMRV/<br /> <br /> Unzip VITL5_3.ZIP and move all of the GMRV_VitalsViewer* files (3 of them) into the common files directory (C:\Program Files\Vista\Common Files). DO NOT RUN the exe file that is in the VITL5_3.ZIP file. (Don't worry if you goofed up and did it. You will be bailed out of trouble by installing the next EXE file.) The other files will end up where they belong thanks to the installer when you run the EXE file. <br /> <br /> Then run VITL5_P18.EXE program afterward. When you run them, choose the manager and you will get both the manager and users versions.<br /> <br /> Then in your Vitals Manager shortcut, right click and choose Properties. At the end of the target line, put a space and then add S= followed by the server IP address, then a space and P= followed by the CPRS port and then a space then CCOW=disable. Then click apply at the bottom of the window just like you do with CPRS shortcuts. <br /> <br /> If you are not sure how to do set up that shortcut from the description above, go to <br /> <br /> http://downloads.opensourcevista.net/VADemo9-26-06 <br /> <br /> and download the installation instructions. Setup of the CPRS Shortcut is show at the end of the instructions.<br /> <br /> Then follow the instructions found in the Vitals Users Manual on page 1-5 which can be found here<br /> <br /> http://www.va.gov/vdl/documents/Clinical/Vitals_Measurements/vitl5_um.pdf<br /> <br /> There are also very good instructions under Help in the Vistal Manager GUI.<br /> <br /> There are instructions to add Vitals to the tools menu for easy access and on page 2-6 of the same manual. <br /> <br /> I would encourage you to enable the user option for editing the GUI under the Parameters in the Vistal Manager GUI as it has much more flexibility for recording vitals in different locations with different methods without cluttering the initial template. If you make a template for the System, all of the users can use that template. <br /> <br /> For the option for users to edit a template to be available, you will need to set the GMV ALLOW USER TEMPLATES Parameter with D ^XPAREDIT <br /> <br /> Select PARAMETER DEFINITION NAME:<br /> GTM>D ^XPAREDIT<br /> <br /> --- Edit Parameter Values ---<br /> <br /> Select PARAMETER DEFINITION NAME: GMV ALLOW USER TEMPLATES Allow in<br /> dividual user templates<br /> <br /> ---- Setting GMV ALLOW USER TEMPLATES for System: BETA.VISTA-OFFICE.OR<br /> G ----<br /> Yes/No: NO// YES<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> -------<br /> <br /> Select PARAMETER DEFINITION NAME: <br /> <br /> This shows how to add the ability to call up the Vitals Users GUI as a stand alone from the tools menu in CPRS.<br /> <br /> Set two parameters as follows (The dll parameters were already set on this system and several tool menu items were already set as well on the system this capture was taken from, like a link to the calculator, etc.):<br /> <br /> EHR>D ^XPAREDIT<br /> <br /> --- Edit Parameter Values ---<br /> <br /> Select PARAMETER DEFINITION NAME: OR CPRS GUI TOOLS ??<br /> <br /> Select PARAMETER DEFINITION NAME: ORWT TOOLS MENU CPRS GUI Tools Menu<br /> <br /> ORWT TOOLS MENU may be set for the following:<br /> <br /> 1 User USR [choose from NEW PERSON]<br /> 2 Location LOC [choose from HOSPITAL LOCATION]<br /> 2.5 Service SRV [choose from SERVICE/SECTION]<br /> 3 Division DIV [VOE OFFICE INSTITUTION OLD]<br /> 4 System SYS [BETA.VISTA-OFFICE.ORG]<br /> 9 Package PKG [ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING]<br /> <br /> Enter selection: 9 Package ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING<br /> <br /> Parameters set for 'Package' may be replaced if ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING<br /> is installed in this account.<br /> <br /> ---- Setting ORWT TOOLS MENU for Package: ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING ----<br /> Select Sequence: 1 <br /> Sequence: 1// 1<br /> Name=Command: &Time=Clock.exe// ^<br /> <br /> ORWT TOOLS MENU may be set for the following:<br /> <br /> 1 User USR [choose from NEW PERSON]<br /> 2 Location LOC [choose from HOSPITAL LOCATION]<br /> 2.5 Service SRV [choose from SERVICE/SECTION]<br /> 3 Division DIV [VOE OFFICE INSTITUTION OLD]<br /> 4 System SYS [BETA.VISTA-OFFICE.ORG]<br /> 9 Package PKG [ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING]<br /> <br /> Enter selection: 9 Package ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING<br /> <br /> Parameters set for 'Package' may be replaced if ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING<br /> is installed in this account.<br /> <br /> ---- Setting ORWT TOOLS MENU for Package: ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING ----<br /> Select Sequence: 2<br /> <br /> Sequence: 2// 2 2<br /> Name=Command: &Calculator=Calc.exe Replace<br /> Select Sequence: 3<br /> <br /> Sequence: 3// 3 3<br /> Name=Command: &Windows Introduction=WinHlp32 Windows.hlp<br /> Replace Vitals="C:\Program Files\Vista\Vitals\Vitals.exe" p=%PORT s=%SRV dfn=%DFN<br /> ??

Most places did not use a computer but relied on a paper record system to keep track of my information. I thought to myself this is the most inefficient system I have ever seen. I mean we live in an age where I can buy a widget at WalMart in Syracuse, fly to Chicago and the WalMart clerk there can tell me what I bought, where I bought it and how much I paid for it in seconds.<br /> <br /> This prompted me to begin searching for the reason things were the way they were.<br /> I came across Google Health and immediately began a health record for myself. If I went to a new doctor I printed out my Google Health record and they were amazed at what I had done in so short a time. But the health record information is for them to gather not me,(fortunately I was still healthy enough to be able to build the record) so I looked further and soon found WorldVistaEHR.<br /> <br /> Now here was a free piece of software that ran the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the world and I became an immediate fan. But why wasn't everyone using it? It turns out that WorldvistA is too good, too complete, and too not Windows. Everyone wants a point and click interface and WV is far from that, except for CPRS of course.<br /> <br /> I have known for a long time that a piece of software will never learn how you want it to behave, you MUST learn how it behaves so I set about learning how it functions. Enter HardHats, a dedicated group of individuals whose goal is to further the acceptance of VistA and its derivatives in applications outside the VA. If not for these HardHats, VistA would be dead and buried never to see life outside the VA. What they are trying to accomplish is akin to moving a mountain, they number perhaps a few hundred strong yet have turned the heads of many people.<br /> <br /> '''How I began:'''<br /> <br /> Initially I was overwhelmed with the capability of the program from what I read. I wanted to learn a program that would help the small clinic or doctor's office, not run St. Judes Hospital. But the more I read the more I realized that this program could scale to any level of complexity with its modular architecture.<br /> I decided to download the demo from the Worldvista.org website to kick the tires a bit.<br /> Installation was straight forward and the demo ran flawlessly. After a week I decided to try a client server test setup using Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows Vista HP.<br /> It seemed that the Astronaut Installer was the quickest and most reliable way to setup the system. It was a breeze to install both server and TMG-CPRS with Astronaut. Now the fun begins.....<br /> <br /> My first hurdle was to log on to the server. To do this required changing the Access/ Verify codes for an existing doctor, in my case Doctor,One<br /> <br /> Follow these steps to do this:<br /> <br /> Open a terminal<br /> <br /> enter choice 3 in Vista Commander<br /> <br /> VA FileMan 22.0<br /> <br /> <br /> Select OPTION NAME:<br /> Select OPTION NAME:1 ENTER OR EDIT FILE ENTRIES<br /> <br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: REMOTE PROCEDURE// 200 NEW PERSON<br /> (74 entries)<br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL// Access CODE Want to edit ACCESS CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD: verify<br /> 1 VERIFY CODE Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> 2 VERIFY CODE never expires<br /> CHOOSE 1-2: 1 Want to edit VERIFY CODE (Y/N)<br /> THEN EDIT FIELD:<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> You are then at Doctor, One's entry and can change his login codes. As soon as he logs in he will have to change to a new access and verify code for security reasons.<br /> <br /> You can now login using CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) as Doctor,One<br /> <br /> To make the system more realistic go back to a terminal and press 3 as before.<br /> <br /> then press 1 when asked for the Option Name<br /> <br /> INPUT TO WHAT FILE: 200 NEW PERSON//<br /> <br /> EDIT WHICH FIELD: ALL//<br /> <br /> Select NEW PERSON NAME: DOCTOR,ONE<br /> <br /> Now press enter until you get down to the e Sign entry and enter a new e sign code for the good doctor. This will let you sign orders etc. for patients, just like a real doctor!!<br /> <br /> Time to PuTTY:<br /> <br /> I discovered that it was a pain to keep running into the other room where the server is located to open a terminal and use the roll and scroll interface. To use one computer just download the PuTTY terminal emulator to your windows machine and use it to connect to a terminal on the server--much more convenient</div>

Every visit to a hospital, doctor, or clinic seemed as though I were visiting an island known only to itself. I would fill out the same paperwork over and over: Name, address, wife's name, allergies, past surgeries, and on and on.
