Legacy information is always a challenge in upgrading computer systems. Re-entry of data is often not possible because of time and cost. The good news is most database programs can export patient information in a text delimited file. Medscribbler can handle this text file easily. Multiple devices and on-going paper documents is a challenge Medscribbler is prepared for.
Import Module
Getting patient names and other demographic into Medscribbler is accomplished quickly with Medscribbler`s Import and Export facility. The module allows any data that has been generated by another database and is available in a text delimited file to be matched to the database in Medscribbler.
Export Module
Changing to a new third party billing or other program is just as easy by exporting the patient demographic information already in Medscribbler. Medscribbler can even be set to give the order for the receiving program if it is limited in its ability to re-order the text file.
Scans
Because there is no way to reconcile the myriad of different formats used by other programs, files can be imported into Medscribbler as .rtf, pdf or .jpg Most scanners handle at least two of these formats so paper can also be imported.
Device Importer Module
For day to day importing of files from ECG/EKG machines, digital cameras etc Medscribbler can be set up to search for new files being added from various devices and automatically place them in the EMR system for categorizing by patient and type.
