Importing the Result Files into MedicalDirector Clinical

To import Investigations Results in Clinical, select Correspondence > Download, or press F4.

This causes Clinical to run any of the external programs that have been setup within MedicalDirector Clinical (described above), and then import any result files (PIT or HL7 format) into Clinical's own Holding file (Holding.dbf) before prompting the user to view or check the imported results. This facilitates the total process of dialling in, transferring, decrypting, importing and optionally viewing the lab results with a single action.

Selecting Investigations > Check Holding File or pressing F5 will import results that have already been downloaded, and then prompt the user to check/view the results.
