Hello all,
Can I ask my colleagues with some advice re integrating electronic mail?
Locum has been mighty slow in implementing the ability to receive
emailed letters from specialists into the EHR.There is no facility
currently in Locum for this.
With all the wonderful things that Argus can do is, all I can do is just
champ at the bit.
Locum has however a Scan Documents section that we use to scan documents
into. This section would be perfect to use for email letters, but for
one small problem, it can only "see" jpg or html files.It can't read *.
pit,*. rtf or *.doc file here.
Argus produces pit files which can't be used in this part. I don't think
specialists would be able to send us emails in html format.
I was thinking, maybe I could use receive a letter from a specialist in
rtf format using Thunderbird with PGP encryption, unencrypt it at my
end, place the rtf file into a folder and some how convert the rtf files
to html format at my end.
Obviously I could sit at the front desk use Open Office or Word and
individually convert each file from rtf to html, copy this file to the
location where scan documents can see it, then match the file to the
patient.
However my receptionist is not highly computer literate.
Can any of my colleagues see a better way for me to use electronic mail?
(besides ditching Locum!)
Regards to all
Michael Christie
