Scheduled Document Import (SDI)

SDI was introduced in Clinical 3.10.5 to import all stored results at 30-second intervals. Select Tools > Manage Communications and ensure the 'Allow SDI to process MedicalDirector Clinical's standard folder' checkbox is ticked. The first time this is activated a test of the SDI link between the workstation and server is initiated. This may take a few minutes.

SDI will automatically import results into the Holding File from:

  • MDExchange,
  • HealthLink,
  • MedicalDirector Clinical Executive folder,
  • The downloads default folder – [server]C:\Program Files\Health Communication Network\Messages\In,
  • Folders setup in …Advanced > Third Party Import/Export Configuration that are SDI Enabled.

    The practitioner is then notified that they have new results. Any non-standard folders you require must be setup in Tools > Options > Investigations > Setup Data Transfer > Advanced > Third Party Import/Export Configuration. Enter the Software Description and the Import and Export Folders and ensure the SDI Enabled checkbox is ticked.
