How did you get the last 3 doses given on the report ? Can our NPR person call yours ? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herb Bromenshenkel Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 10:06 AM To: 'Shirley Schoberg'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] printing MARs to "virtual" printer All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We use mprint (From interbit data). Each location is printed to a separate virtual printer. We have a separate script program that auto runs a custom MAR that shows last 3 doses given along with what is due for the next 3 days. We have mprint send the files as .PCL files. The script keeps them on the hard drive of the script PC, a network storage drive, and also sends them to two remote PCs at our long term care facility (in case of network failure). The PCs have a local printer attached so they files can be printed even if the entire network fails. The script also auto deletes the files (we keep the current backup, plus the backup 1 hour previous). The script is somewhat elaborate in that it counts the files and verifies files are present before any deletion of old data occurs. To print the files, we use mprint. The only disadvantage we have with mprint is users have to have administrator rights (or at least something more than our "general" users). The nursing supervisors have a generic way to log in to run mprint and print the backup mars if needed. Script sends an email to a log account to verify completion with filename and location of each file. If for some reason there is a problem with the print server, the script checks dates of file and number of files. If number of files falls short or date and time off, a page is sent to review backup.
