Using the raw ASCII files from AMA and the old instructions about importing them into just the ICPT global will only get you part way because now the CPT codes are also a part of the Lexicon's mapped standard terminologies.
Instead, go to the following link: "https://catalog.ama-assn.org/Catalog/product/product_detail.jsp?productId=p rod600004?checkXwho=done" (mind the line wrap) is the link for the zipped VOE CPT data files and routine for installing them. There should be a new version in the next few days if it isn't already there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Imran Shafiq Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 4:19 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Hardhats-members] How to load CPT into Vista FOIA Hi All, I have installed Vista FOIA on Windows/Cache using instructions given at: http://www.hardhats.org/projects/VistA_Install/Vista_Install.html I have purchased CPT files from AMA i.e. ===================================================== The AMA complete CPTR 2006 ASCII data files provide the official CPTR codes along with the short, abbreviated procedural descriptions up to 28 characters per line; medium descriptions, abbreviated procedural descriptions up to 48 characters per line; and the full, unabbreviated procedural descriptions. The Data Files also include: Full list of CPT code modifiers from Appendix A of CPT 2006. Complete text of the official CPT guidelines from each section of the CPT 2006 codebook. Summary of additions, deletions, and revisions from Appendix B of CPT 2006. Shows the actual changes made to the code descriptions. Full list of Genetic Testing Code Modifiers from Appendix I of CPT 2006. Fixed-field and tab-delimited file formats. ====================================================== How exactly do I load CPTs into the four relevant CPT files: CPT CPT CATEGORY CPT MODIFIER CPT COPYRIGHT The GT.M supports CPT loading in .GLO file format by using commands: GTM>D ^%GI Input device: <terminal>: /home/user/ICPTUNIX.GLO I am desperate to know what exactly is the format of GLO file so that I could write a small script to convert my CPT files from tab delimited format to GLO format (whatever it is). Secondly, I also found some 37 routines from VA ftp site and a document which talks abt importing CPT data from AMA tapes... but I dont have any magnetic tapes offcourse. Anybody? GLO file format?
