MTPTLOC (HOST SERVER ONLY): MTPTLOC handles printing to patient location printers. Uses the site's Master Patient Index to determine where the patient resides, then selects the appropriate printer to print to. MTPTLOC hands the actual printing over to MTDISTRIB.  Please contact ChartNet support for setting up patient location printing.

 

IN-HOUSE LOGICAL EXPRESSION: Optional logical expression to be used to determine if patient qualifies as "in-house". Example: (PATTYPE="I") AND (DISDT=NULL)

 

VISIT DATE AGE (DAYS): Number of days from visit date to today that will consider visit as still "inhouse". Used primarily for outpatient visits

 

LOCATION 1-30: Location code and device to print to.  Format: [Location];[DeviceCode] Note: If Use Room is true, then syntax is [FromRoom]-[ToRoom];[DeviceCode].  For example:  MN;PRT-MEDSURG or if using room is true:  14N-17E;PRT-MEDSURG

 

DEFAULT 1-10: Used to distribute reports that do not meet the criteria above.  A possible example is if you want outpatient reports to print to medical records. Syntax [DEVICE CODE];[REPORTS EXPRESSION];[MPI EXPRESSION]  Example: MED_REC_PRINTER; REPT_TYPE="ER";PATTYPE="O"

 

OUTPATIENT SERVICE 1-5:Outpatient service code.  This will prevent documents with these PATSERV codes in the MPI table from printing

 

USE PATIENT SERVICE: Use the patient service, not location, to determine device to print to.  If this option is selected the Location 1-30 field will need to be updated with PATSERV.

 

USE MPI ACCTNO INDEX, NOT MRN: Use the MPI Account number index instead of the MRN index when finding patient location.

 

LOCATION CODE DELIMITER: Delimiter for location field in the MPI table.

 

USE ROOM NUMBER: Use the patient's room number, (not the nursing unit) to determine location.  If this is selected you will need to format the Location 1-30 appropriately.
