Downloading Data

Downloading data from one computer system to another requires a physical connection between the two systems and a common communication protocol (language). When the data is of a sensitive nature (such as with Investigations Results), it is common practice to implement an encryption/decryption system for data protection. The installation and maintenance of this software is the responsibility of the Investigations Results Provider.

Connection - In most situations the physical connection between the two systems is established via an Internet connection, although some systems may still make use of dial-up modems.
Communication - Regardless of how the systems are physically connected, a common communication protocol must be established between the two. Use of a modem normally requires that communications software provide this service. This is software that you (or a technician) installs on your computer.
Encryption - To protect data from third parties, an encoding system is utilised. The data is encoded (encrypted) before being sent and decoded (decrypted) by the recipient using a key (code).
Your third-party provider's downloading software needs to have been installed and operational, independent of Clinical, before it can be used with Clinical.
It must be capable of making a connection with the laboratory, downloading the result files, decrypting the files and saving them to your computer, ready for importing into Clinical.
Result files must comply with either of two pre-defined industry standard formats; PIT and HL7
