HealthLink Web Service Setup

Before you begin

HealthLink Web Service setup can be performed either from within MedicalDirector Clinical, or via the MedicalDirector Maintenance suite of utilities. The following steps are shown from the perspective of the former option. Note that ideally you should not have to configure anything within the Web Service section of this window - it should all be configured automatically. However, you may have to alter settings if the selected port number is not available, for example.

Procedure

  1. Select Tools > HealthLink > Setup. The HealthLink Setup window appears.

    The lower half (Web Service section) contains settings for the web service that runs on your server computer, and manages the display of HealthLink forms on the workstations. Web Service logs are also available. Settings in the lower section can be modified from the server computer only. Whenever you make changes to this section of this widow, click Save and then also click Restart HCN Service Manager.
  2. Enter your web server's Host name and port number into the fields provided.
  3. Enter your database server's name, and the name of your Clinical database e.g. "HCN".
  4. Enter the URL to the web service.
  5. Click Test to test the web service connection. If this test fails, please consult your Systems Administrator if you require assistance.
  6. Click Restart HCN Service Manager to restart the service.
  7. Click Refresh to refresh the service status message.
