Hi

When the Fuji viewer is installed is there a particular file installed that did 
not exist on the PC beforehand? If so, you could get Meditech to check for the 
existence of this file before that call the PACS viewer. This would avoid 
exposing user credentials on a PC without the PACS viewer installed.

The Z program %Z.check.pc.file checks for a file and if found returns 1 else 
returns "". 

A demo of its implementation could be:

IF{%Z.check.pc.file("c:\scripts\test.txt") "Found";"Not found"}^/FILE (for NPR 
report where the value in /FILE can be used in a computed field)

Or for PACs

IF{%Z.check.pc.file("c:\fujiviewer\screen.dll") "INSTALLED";"NOT INSTALLED"} 
(where INSTALLED would be your PACS launch command, and NOT INSTALLED would be 
your fail message to the user that PACS viewer is not installed.

Regards

Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] PACS and PCI integration

Hi,
Glad to know others have seen the same issue.  We are hoping Fuji can
correct it.  Thanks for all of the responses.  I just wanted to clarify
our situation a little.

In addition to loading the Fuji Synapse workstation software you have to
set the I.E. security options to "prompt for username and password".  If
you don't change the security option you don't even get the prompt to
download Synapse.  You just get the I.E. error screen with the username
and password exposed.  We can't change the security setting on most
workstations because the users won't be able to use the hospital intranet
if we do.

So basically we have several hundred workstations around the hospital. 
All have Meditech installed so anyone can try to access images in PCI and
make the URL call to Synapse.  Most workstations can't be setup to load
Synapse and we really don't want to have to touch all of the PCs anyway. 
So most of the PCs would be open to exposing the username/password in the
Fuji URL call.
