Hi Amber,
I am here to offer more pity, than help when it come to Meditech. In
STAR we use Monarch (Data Mining Program) to sift through and format our failed
claims report, then we export that to excel. I do like the quote in your
signature. I may have to borrow that from you.
Thanks,
Reese

Subject: [talkbws] Help getting Started
I am new to BWS and have only written a couple scripts using an excel file to
start. Now I want to move onto bigger/better projects.
The first project I am trying to tackle is answering a query within BAR for a
list of accounts that fail a specific claim check. I can run the failed claims
report out of Meditech, import it into Excel, reformat the data into something
readable, and then run the script from the excel file. The script itself is
going to be easy and I get how to do that. The problem I am having is the work
to run the report and reformat the data in Excel for the script to use takes
longer than just doing the job.
I guess the part I need help with is best practice recommendations for
'gathering' the source data from Meditech when it changes every day. Do you
use BWS to run the report, import it into Excel, reformat the data, and then
manipulate it however you need? Do you attempt to run the report in MT to
screen and read off the screen of one session and work in another? Do you
attempt to run the report in MT to the screen and read off the screen; move all
the data off to variables in BWS and then work off that variable file? Other
suggestions?
Any pity and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
