With MySQL there are two approaches. 1) You can use the Zope database adapter to connect directly to MySQL and then write an interface. 2) You can dump your database to a comma or tab delimited file and write a little external method that imports the data into Zope. You can then send it via the REQUEST mapping to FreePM/emr/add_emrProcessor. The minimum required elements to create an EMR, are last_name, first_name and dob (date of birth in any standard format supported by Python). Be aware though that FreePM creates the patient account and the guarantor information at the same time that it creates the EMR. So if this information is missing (note that in add_emrProcessor it's a two step process) it will have to be added manually to the patient account propertysheet using the Zope interface. Otherwise you will not have valid insurance information in order to lookup charge data for the account. > I am pretty novice at what I am doing. I can do sql and > probably > can pick up python.

I for anyone that knows another OO programming language well I recommend "Python Essential Reference" by David M. Beazley ISBN: 0-7357-0901-7. Go through the tutorial on http://www.python.org and you'll be ready to code like crazy. ------------------------------------------------------- -- Tim Cook, President - FreePM,Inc. http://www.FreePM.com Office: (731) 884-4126 ONLINE DEMO: http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
