Clinical has been designed so that other programs such as third-party billing packages can feed patient data into the MedicalDirector Clinical database when new patients are added or updated in the billing package. In this way, the patient database in Clinical can be kept synchronised with that in the third-party application.

This arrangement is referred to as 'Linking', and the Links tab allows you to configure linking Clinical with other packages.

Do not confuse LINKING with IMPORTING:

'Linking' involves the transfer of a small amount of data at regular intervals. 'Importing' is usually a manual process and can involve a large amount of data and take a considerable amount of time to complete.
Although MedicalDirector Clinical has very strict linking specifications, it can import data from almost any type of file.
If linking a new installation of Clinical to an existing package, the normal procedure would be to manually perform an import BEFORE enabling any link between the two programs.
