[Hardhats-members] Registering patients in the background

[Cameron Schlehuber]

Re-wording the subject line …   Manual entry is the usual means of registration.  What you’re describing is automated entry using a “silent” API.  This problem sounds like a bug that should be corrected in Registration code in the course of supporting VOE.  There should be a cross-reference on file 2 that automatically creates the parallel in 90000001, rather than having that code (I’m guessing) in the lookup routine set DPTLK*.   In the mean time, in your background code you’ll need to add a stub entry in 90000001 as well.   Cameron   On 1/11/06, Kevin Toppenberg wrote:   A different be related question is how SHOULD I manually put patients into the database?  I have just established a communication channel between out billing system (our primary source of demographic info), and I am now back to the point where I can automatically register patients in VistA.  Its been awhile, but I think I used standard Fileman calls to create records in the PATIENT file, and filled them with appropriate information.  This resulted in the corresponding entries in file 90000001 not being created.  Am I supposed to create these automatically?  Is there some trigger or something that is supposed to do this? I'm trying to avoid future problems. Thanks Kevin
