Reply To: Another Meditech question

I will agree with Bob for the most part.  If you need an interface Meditech is usually more that willing to sell you one.  Just keep in mind, that if you have an engine that can translate you should only need one of a particular type of interface.  ie if you have an Orders IB, as long as you have full capability, NW, CA, SC, you only need the one.  You just need to be able to translate for  all the information required for Meditech to receive the messages.  We have Magic to C/S interfaces that were set up and I was able to work around most of our PACS interfaces using what I already had.  Saved us a few $$’s.   Just so you know also, Iatrics is a service provider that can set up interfaces externally for a little better price.
