The deficiency polling service uses a polling file to synchronize external deficiency information between OnBase and Meditech. The following steps describe how to configure an external integration, which allows the deficiency polling service to locate the polling file and identify its source system.

The deficiency polling service can work with multiple Meditech systems. If you have multiple systems, configure a separate integration for each one.

Note:

The Meditech integration includes additional Meditech-side software, which must be installed for the polling file to be generated.

To configure the polling file integration:

  1. From OnBase Configuration, select Medical | External System | Integrations. The External Integration Configuration dialog box is displayed.
    Note:

    The External System | Integrations option is unavailable if your system is not configured for external deficiencies. If you cannot select this option, see Enabling External Deficiencies.

  2. Type a name for the polling service used to synchronize deficiency information.
  3. Click Create. The External Integration Settings dialog box is displayed.
  4. Enter the following information, or click the Browse button to browse to the polling file.

    Setting

    Description

    Default Directory

    Type the UNC path where the polling file will reside. For example: \\Server\DeficiencyPolling\

    Default File Name

    Type the name of the file containing deficiency information generated from Meditech. For example: PollingFile.txt

    Associated External System

    Select the Meditech system this polling integration should use.

    The default external systems are not available. To create a new external system, see Creating Additional External Systems.

    Ensure the selected external system is assigned to the OnBase facilities containing the associated charts. See Configuring Facilities for Meditech Systems.

  5. Ensure the file containing deficiency information is placed in the specified directory.
