Downloading and Importing Results

This topic deals with the transfer of Investigations Result data from your provider to your computer and ultimately, MedicalDirector Clinical. In respect to Clinical Investigations, it is important that you understand two concepts;

Downloading. This term refers to the process by which Investigations result data is transmitted electronically from your Provider (the laboratory) to your computer system. The process involves third-party software, which periodically connects to the laboratory (for example, via your Internet connection) to check for new Results data and download it. It is important to understand that Clinical itself does not communicate directly with your laboratories. Rather, MedicalDirector Clinical merely imports the data that the third-party software has already downloaded. Having said this, Clinical is capable of activating the third-party software and having it initiate a download of new Results data.
Importing. This refers to the actual importing of new Results data that has been downloaded, to Clinical. Whilst such data is imported by Clinical, it is not automatically associated with any particular patient(s), until it is manually examined.
