Nancy, I think you have the idea. Let me comment on your steps below... --- Nancy Anthracite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I call the types names like this: Consult later (image) Lab report (image) Picture (image) etc., so that I will be able to find them later when browsing through all different notes in CPRS. 2. define a header, Not sure what you mean here. A boilerplate text for the note? That would actually be a good idea. I had planned for my "note-stuffing" function to create the beginning of the HTML note, but it doesn't matter who does it. 3. make a java application to help > staff populate a header and have the header print > out as a the first page of > this document Well, I agree the staff will need to specify for each note the patient, date, document type etc. Whether the program to do this is written in Delpi/Java/M could be decided. Since the RPCBroker is in Delphi, and I have the most experience with it, I had planned Delphi. But I'm flexible. 3. and whatever is scanned follow > thereafter, and have the > document pop up in Kevin's browser in a modified > CPRS. The note itself should be just HTML. The header information that you mentioned would be put into fields describing the document. For example in TIU DOCUMENT file (8925), there are fields for a patient pointer, date, note type, and then also a field to hold the WP field of the note itself. So you need a note-stuffing function that takes the information from the staff and creates a TIU DOCUMENT record with all the needed fields filled in, and the HTML document (which holds a URL to the scanned image) stored in the REPORT TEXT field.

Sounds right to me, but I am not a guru, so I would like to hear what others think of this plan.
