Hello David, Regarding your question on Printing the eMAR from Meditech. Interbit Data has a product that was developed to down load the eMAR and allow you to print them out as needed. MPrint Server gives you the ability to define PCs and/or printers attached to PCs throughout your organization as MEDITECH devices. Printers can be shared even when they do not have Network Interface Cards (NICs) or terminal server ports. Reports can be automatically directed to PC hard drives via MEDITECH spooling utilities. MPrint Server runs as a background service on the Microsoft Windows platform and allows you to define multiple instances and rules in one program, offering better performance and simpler operation. Features and Benefits Define multiple instances and rules in one program that runs as a service on Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 to simplify operations. Define PCs as healthcare information system devices to enable printing to a hard drive without user intervention. Define printers attached to PCs as healthcare information system devices to provide printer sharing with other users. Supports unlimited number of socket and/or LPR printers to maximize your return on investment. The following is how HCA is handling the eMAR down time. If you have any questions or would like additional information please call me or visit us at www.interbitdata.com <outbind://5/www.interbitdata.com> . HCA North Texas Division – eMAR and Unscheduled Downtime The Challenge – How do we handle unscheduled downtime? • 24-hour printed MAR could be so old its useless • Scheduling and downloading from Meditech a very manual process Our Solution – MPrint from Interbit Data, Inc. • Schedule MAR to print 1 hour after each hospital’s med pass times • Using MPrint the Meditech printer port is defined as a remote printer. MPrint listens on that port and stores the printed file in whatever PC or Server folder you define. • You may set up as many remote printers and MPrint folders you require to save reports. Reports are saved in the native output format of the printer type you defined in Meditech. Control characters, carriage returns, etc. • MPrint added a backup folder to the software for us at no additional charge. It is now part of their standard. The software will automatically move the last printed file to a backup folder before saving your current print file in the current folder. That way we always have at least two versions available. Printing the saved print files from your PC or Server: • Free PC Software called Free Raw Print • DOS commands Capture additional unscheduled downtime events using MPrint: • Schedule Laboratory Cumulative Summary Reports • Schedule Future Orders • Schedule Nursing Documentation Additional functions of MPrint: • Give all Meditech Users the ability to print to a PC based printer • Execute an application to handle a captured print file • Play a .wav file to notify a user that a print job has been received. Cost and License information: • Licensed by site with unlimited users Oscar Beninati Director, Sales Interbit Data Inc. 10 West Central St. Natick, MA 01760 508-647-0013 X208 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.interbitdata.com <http://www.interbitdata.com/> ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David S.
