Kevin....
From what you know would the following be possible: If one used a wordprocessor that stored files in XML (like OpenOffice does) you could tag the file in a way that VistA could very likely pick up the patient id and import it to the right place....automagically??

Nick,
KERMIT will work from a linux terminal (I think), but
I have never done it this way. What happens with ZOC
is that you connect to your vista server like a
standard terminal emulator would. You then go to that
menu option TIU UPLOAD DOCUMENT (I think that is it). then, when the vista server sends the 'ready' signal
(which in "N3"), then you you go to the menus in your
ZOC program and select KERMIT SEND. At this point the
ZOC program will bring up a file select dialog box. Then you would select the file to upload. You'll then
see a progress dialog box that shows the file being
transferred.
I should mention here that ZOC is capable of transfers with KERMIT, XMODEM, and YMODEM. You have to go into the session settings in ZOC and tell it that you want your transfers to be in KERMIT protocol.
This KERMIT transfer stuff is a bit complicated. I am figuring that out as I am trying to teach my transcriptionists to do it (i.e. not very computer savy people.) Its a bunch of steps, and sometimes the KERMIT transfer fails and you have to do it again. I am thinking about deriving a solution of somehow sharing a drive/directory on my linux server with the windows network. Then have the transcriptionist save the file there. They could then do the upload via the HFS method.
Another solution that I have considered is to have the transcriptionists create the note in their favorite word processor. Then they could select it and cut-n-paste it directly into CPRS. This would ensure that they have the correct patient selected etc.
Let me know when/if you want more info.

Kevin,
have downloaded ZOC. generally i work with putty so
this does look very different! wonder if putty is
capable of KERMIT uploads!
I have understood what you have said. But that again
leads to another question! If i have the transcribed
document on my local machine how can VistA identify
that it is this specific document (out of the
hundreds
of documents stored on my local machine) i need to
upload (using the KERMIT method)? Guess I'm missing
out on something!
I've been able to enter the operation report, but i
had to do that as the CHIEF,MIS. Not as the
transcriptionist!

Nick,
Sorry about that...
2.) Voice file/recording is assigned to a transcriptionist.
This would take place independant of VistA. I.e.,
in
my office, when I dictate a tape, it is given to a
transcriptionist. They know to then type it up.
In
a hospital system, I think that the equipment would put this into a que etc, ready for the next transcriptionist to pull from. Again, this is all separate from VistA.
4. If word processor is used, then resulting
file
is
uploaded into VistA, and filer program puts the
text
into a TIU DOCUMENT record.
This is where the rubber meets the road, so to
speak. Try selecting option: TIU UPLOAD MENU From that
menu,
choose "Upload Documents" (option: TIU UPLOAD
DOCUMENTS). When you do, there will be about a
10-20
second delay, and then some funny characters and a
N3
are displayed. This is the signal that vista is
ready
to accept a file for upload. It expects the
transfer
to be a KERMIT transfer. So you have to have a
terminal emulator that is capable of kermit
uploads.
I am using a demo version of ZOC (http://www.download.com/3000-2085-10357635.html) which supports this.
I should mention, that Kermit upload is only one
way
that the document can be transferred to Vista for processing. One can also save the file in the
host
file system... i.e. a standard file in a directory somewhere. Then the upload process would consist
of
providing the filename and path. You choose which method you want in your TIU PARAMETERS.
After the file is uploaded successfully, the uploaded file is processed. It scans the file, divides it into the separate notes, and files each one. Before I
go
into too much detail on this part, let me know if you are with me so far.
