MTMPI (HOST SERVER ONLY) - Imports patient demographic data ("ADT" data) into a site's Master Patient Index (MPI) table. Can handle files in the HL7 format or other standard or custom formats.

 

 FORMAT CODE: The format of the files to be imported.  Options: HL7, MPI1, MPI2, DELIMITED, DELIM_CSV

 

 FILE MASK: File mask to be used when looking for files to import.  Examples *.HL7, *.CSV.  This is the file that is        sent from the remote server and usually has a path of: public\sites\Site#\HL7-ADT\Prod

 

DELIMITER CHARACTER: The character that is used to separate the fields in the input record.  When the import is in HL7 format the delimiter character is usually a | (pipe).   Only used for format code HL7.

 

SUBDELIMITER CHARACTER: The character that is used to separate the sub-fields in the input record.  When the import is in HL7 format the subdelimiter character is usually a ^.  Only used for format code HL7.

 

PROGRAM SUSPEND TIME (HH:MM):Specifies a time to suspend the program.  This will stop importing MPI for        this site until the PROGRAM RESUME TIME.

 

PROGRAM RESUME TIME (HH:MM):Specified the time to resume the program.  Must be used with StopTime.  Note- ResumeTime must be greater than StopTime.  i.e. crossing midnight not allowed.

 

STORE THE HL7 MESSAGE IN MPI: Indicates that the HL7 transaction file should be stored in the MPI memo field.  Only A01, A04, and A08 events are stored. This is useful when troubleshooting. Note:  This can cause the MPI memo file to become large very quickly.

 

USE MRUN FOR THE ACCTNO: Use the Medical Record Number for the Account Number field. The MRN will populate both the MRUN and ACCTNO fields in the MPI.

 

UPDATE DOCTORS FILE: Automatically update the Doctors file if the MPI file has doctor codes that are not in the Doctors file. Not recommended to use.  Contact ChartNet support for further information.

 

UPDATE ADDRESS FILE: Automatically update the Address file if the MPI file has doctor codes that are not in the Address file.  Not recommended to use.  Contact ChartNet support for further information.

 

NUMBER OF DAYS TO KEEP SOURCE FILES: Number of days to keep imported ADT files. Default is 1

 

CHARTVOX EXPORT PATH: If ChartVox interface files are to created, specify the path.  This is used when creating a Chartvox patient file for patient verification.

 

COPY MPI FILES PATH: Directory to copy the mpi files used for a secondary import.  For example, if the same file is used to populate a schedule table.

 

HL7 FIRST SEGMENT CODE: For HL7, the first segment code to expect in the record set.  Default is MSH.

 

USE FACILITY CODE: Use the Facility code field in the primary key.  Only used when multiple facility codes.

 

FACILITY CODE: Allows you to force a specific facility code into the MPI "Facility" field.  For example, use "TEST" to import test ADT records into the production MPI file. This is used if the Facility Code is not already in the ADT file but you need to populate a facility code.

 

EXCLUDE THESE ADT EVENTS: Events to be excluded from importing in. Separate with a ;. example:   A14;A38
