We are looking at it for interface of pdf documents from an other vendor into Meditech.

I was wanting to see if anyone out that is already using the coldfeed would share what the benefits of it are and what it is mainly used for that makes it worth the investment.  We are in process of purchasing this for various reasons but I am sure there is much more uses of this interface than what we are looking at.  Appreciate any feedback.

We use it for electronic documents or images we receive through email that need to be inserted into a patient’s chart. We also did some of the initial groundwork for another use: capturing digital signatures of our registration forms (which has been put on hold pending other more important projects). It’s pretty slick, there are two parts to this, one requires the file names to be formatted specifically so that the BG Job that “listens” to the network share can pick up the image and insert it into the chart (this is what we’ll be using with FormFast for our registration forms project at some point in the future). The other part allows you to pick up files manually and insert them into the record. There are only 2 downsides (so far) that we’ve come across: 1. These images will not “roll-up” in the e-chart. If you scan multiple single pages of the same FormID, they will have their own placeholder. 2. The contents of the shares that are setup do not purge, which means manual administration of those shares.

Hope this helps.

For venders that cannot meet Meditech's file name specifications I wrote
.NET code that queries our Data Repository to rename the file myself.
Basically if I can get the .pdf or .tif associated with the account
number I am able to take any vender report and send to the EMR/ELR. The
trickiest part is dynamically determining the number of PDF pages in the
report. I did this with some code I found online.

We are using it for patient signatures obtained on an electronic signature
pad. The signed form is saved in the EMR and the Echart. Our other vendor
is Access EForms.



Thank you.

Frank, we use it similarly. However, I’ve written a little app that runs nightly to purge all but the last seven days of the files automatically and send me an email with the number of files that were deleted.

We are in process of implementing web FormImprint with patient esignature for registration.   One of the problems we are experiencing is overwriting --- I was hoping one of you might help with this in relation to the file naming convention.  Meditech literature specifies that if the delete flag in the file name is set to Y, the file will overwrite, and that any value other than Y will be ignored.   We have a form that will have multiple occurrences within the same admission, but the second occurrence of the form overwrites the first if delete flag in file name is N or just a space.   The only way we can get these files to not overwrite is to have a unique application ID in the file name for each instance of the form.    I realize that FormImprint does have the capability to send a unique application ID for each occurrence of the form; however, in doing so we lose some of the other identifying data that we would like to have within this 30-character section of the file name.    Has anyone had success with files not overwriting based on the value of the delete flag alone?
