When multiple external systems became available in OnBase 14, the possibility of mapping conflicts arose. The solution to avoid possible mapping conflicts between OnBase Document Types and the External Document Type Names would be for Report Capture and HMRS to use different instances of a Meditech external system. It is recommended that HMRS should use the default Meditech external system (either Meditech or Meditech Magic) with an ID number of 2. Report Capture should also always use an external system derived form a Meditech external system. Any additional Meditech ODA System should also use external systems derived from a Meditech external systems.

The best practices for using Report Capture with HMRS when multiple external systems exist are:

  1. If you are currently using OnBase 13 or below, and you use the same external system for both HMRS and Report Capture, do NOT use multiple Meditech Form ID mappings for a single OnBase document type where that OnBase document type is also used by HMRS. See your system administrator to determine whether a single OnBase document type is mapped to multiple Meditech external document types.
  2. If you are currently using OnBase 14 or above, Report Capture should be configured to use a derived Meditech external system.
  3. If you are upgrading from an older version of OnBase to OnBase 14 or above, and you are using Report Capture, you will need to make a new Meditech external system for use by Report Capture. The best way to do this is to use the copy feature. See Creating Additional External Systems for more information.
  4. If you are installing Report Capture for the first time, you should always use a derived Meditech external system for Report Capture configuration.
  5. If you use the same Meditech external system for both Report Capture and HMRS, see Separating a Meditech External System for Report Capture Configuration to separate the Report Capture configuration from the HMRS configuration.
