I am working on an interface to an inventory package and need to drop a txt file with product, not drugs , information in it to them. Where would be the best place to get this information. I want this to be real time.
If your external package offers web service, you can update fee sheet & inventory scripts to post those transactions directly. By its nature, file based interface is subject to infrastructure failures. But if you must, have EMR write the files to a network drive and let the other package periodically process them. If you have Mirth or any other broker, it can do all this centrally.
Nope no web service. This is a “Frames Data Base” for ophthalmology. It will reside on the same windows server with OpenEmr. I was doing a Mirth interface for Flexsys and the client changed their mind and went with another vendor. It looks like I can add 2 lines to new.php and get what I need.
Thanks
Terry
