Here is an update regarding our project:

 

There was a fire next door that caused an electrical spike and fried our first “server”. This was really just a desktop computer that we loaded SuSe 9.3 onto. So Monday we received a Dell 2850 w/ 6 gig of RAM running RAID 1 on the first channel and RAID 5 on the other 4 hard drives. It came with SuSe 9.3 installed, but it wasn’t a good install, so we re-installed and did the online updates. It is surge protected and has a power backup system that allows 2 hours of off grid time. Currently we are planning an external hard drive backup. Does anyone have any backup software suggestions? Is that a CRON duty?

 

Yesterday we downloaded OV4 from the Hui site and installed it, but first, I added vista as a user. I think that wrecked the install and the gtm exports to the .bash_profile (or wherever it is put in the install) failed. In the end, I removed the vista directory and re-downloaded OV4. (It wouldn’t install properly after the first script run.)

 

The second install went like clockwork. I had it downloaded, installed and the primary configuration done in less than 60 minutes!

 

Then I went to my desktop and downloaded (from the Hui site) and configured Putty and CPRS according to the directions in the HuiOpenVista4 quick install manual. Both worked perfectly! I did the secondary configuration (using the Quick Start Configuration Guide v1.0 from the Hui site) using Putty. This also went well, except when I tried to use D ^ZU to get to fileman, it failed. I found out you need to use D ^HUILOGIN (like the manual says). I configured an IRM, CAC, Physician, Nurse, Office Manager and Clinic (I couldn’t put our real appt templates in, because the computer kept complaining it would not fit on one line. Any suggestions?)

 

I added a test patient and did a note. I couldn’t sign it because I forgot to set my electronic signature. Also I had trouble with recording it as a “visit”. I’m assuming it is asking for EM codes, but I couldn’t see how to get them in there. Any insights?

 

All in all, not bad for a first day and I still made it home to watch the Suns Beat Dallas in game one J.

 

Next, I will need to figure out how to put patient demographic data in from our PMS. I have been looking at chapter1, advanced fileman for that and talking to Kevin.

 

I also learned how to make TIU Objects (ehealth University Express, CAC track) and will be making advanced templates. We track Asthma and Diabetic patients and use guidelines throughout our clinics, so reminders and templates will be developed for that group first.
