I am see these now, and have written a script to remove the “Structure type”. However after reviewing the standard I do understand where this could be beneficial.

Looking at this thread has helped, but I think this will need to be evaluated further by Cloverleaf.

So we could not do something like this: ADT_A(01-09) for example as these may come from the source as ADT^A08^ADT_A01. I would welcome ideas on this.

We are using CL 6.1 on windows by the way.

TIA

I do not have extensive experience, but have worked on it some. To me the biggest draw back was the OS. I am of the opinion that if you want a work horse you need to be on something other than Windows. You will just not get the performance and reliability on that platform.

It was very intuitive to use, I agree with Jeff D about the hands being tied. Charlie B once told me hated software that tried to “help”. I agree the more I come across those examples. I know what I want and how to do it, now get out of the way and let me build it 🙂

my 2 cents for what it is worth.

Wonder if you bounce the host services will it make a difference? I recall historically that was an issue on previous versions.

Rob,

I missed this meeting. I do not come on the clovertech site that often and would like to know of the next event in my area. Do you all have a means to sign up for notification of these types of events?

TIA,

Brian

Charlie,

I would like to have better documentation of the alerts and maybe even some examples in documentation when completed. That alone would remove alot of the guess work I have had to do in the past.

My 2 cents,

Brian

MH,

Do you all use recover33 with that proc?

TIA,

Brian

Unfortuantely for us, our 1965 model HP-UX Test Box has multiple sites and still has problems. We are just thankful to have a test server.

Jared,

I can’t say that we have had it happen in a production environment, however in our test environment I have had something similar happen. I attribute it to the number of processes running on this box. Now I am sure this will open a can of worms on this thread, many have opinions on the number of threads and processes a site can have. Unless you are running Windows a limitation does not exsist according to support. However your hardware can only handle so many processes and threads before so weird things start to happen.

We are cutting back on the number of threads and processes in our test site until we can get that box upgraded.

Just my 2 cents,

Brian

I agree Rick. I also would like to see the UG presentations.

Dennis,

How would you compare the PV1:45 (Discahrge Date) to the current system date? Could this be done in an if statement?

I would think you would have to get the current clock time and convert that to format you want before doing your comparison.

Maybe something like this???

#get the system time in seconds

set curTime [clock seconds ]

# change the format of the time to YYYYMMDD

set newTime [clock format $curTime  -format {%Y%m%d}]

# this function gets the difference

set difference [expr {$newTime – $PV1_45}]

# setting the format to days only

set fmt “%d”

#reducing the difference to days

set curDif [clock format $difference -format $fmt]

#If the message was discharged more than 10 days ago

if {$curDiff < 10} Do what ever I have not tested this and am not sure it would work.  Also there may be a short way to make this happen. Brian

Mike,

Would you share your script that you use to compile the daily stats? Another user (Brad Dorr @ phns)  has also posted a requested looking for a similar script.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

John,

You could also use a tcl script on the Inbound TPS to filter out the transactions. I have a script that I can give you that uses a table to determine if the transaction should be sent.

I would be glad to send it to you.

Can either one of you shed some light what difference they have on this interface to. I am very familiar with HBOCHI, but we are now a Cerner site and no longer have to deal with two sets of specs but will be implementing this system very soon.

Any gotchas would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

[Brian Goad]

Can some one help with TCl I am trying to strip the values between the quotes .ForEx: “(PRE-POST PAIN SCALE)~&(__-__)(__-__)(__-__)(__-__)(__-__)”

Thanks

What are you wanting to “strip” I am not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish.

You can either reply or e-mail me.

I have a one time file conversion from a vrl to hl7 to run to import data from one emr to another.  I need a unique number identifier for each patient.  So I need to have a proc or tool to add a number to a field and count up by one for each message.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Jason you say you need a unique number for each patient, does that mean you are looking for something that will create a number for the patient and if farther into the file you find the same patient use the number you created? Or would you create a new number for this message.

In other words:

ADT’s

A01 for admit

A08 for update

have same unique ID
