Hello Brenda, Cc: Pat & L'ers My name is Oscar Beninati and I am the Director of Sales for Interbit Data. I would like to take a moment of your time to introduce you to Interbit Data. Interbit Data develops the NetSolutions family of products, offering secure, convenient, and cost-effective information access and report distribution solutions to more than 400 MEDITECH customers worldwide. The NetSolutions product line enables clients to send information securely over the Internet in various formats, such as fax, print, email, or as a file. The NetFax product is on the MEDITECH support list and is the recommended fax solution for HCA hospitals. Our MPrint Server product is part of HCA's best practices in support of On-Line Medication Administration Records. I understand that you will be going live with MEDITECH's BMV/eMAR soon and will probably be looking at backing up the eMAR during scheduled and nonscheduled downtimes. The following is how HCA is handling the eMAR down time. If you have any questions or would like additional information please call me or visit us at www.interbitdata.com. HCA North Texas Division - eMAR and Unscheduled Downtime The Challenge - How do we handle unscheduled downtime? . 24-hour printed MAR could be so old its useless . Scheduling and downloading from Meditech a very manual process Our Solution - MPrint from Interbit Data, Inc. . Schedule MAR to print 1 hour after each hospital's med pass times . Using MPrint the Meditech printer port is defined as a remote printer. MPrint listens on that port and stores the printed file in whatever PC or Server folder you define. . You may set up as many remote printers and MPrint folders you require to save reports. Reports are saved in the native output format of the printer type you defined in Meditech. Control characters, carriage returns, etc. . MPrint added a backup folder to the software for us at no additional charge. It is now part of their standard. The software will automatically move the last printed file to a backup folder before saving your current print file in the current folder. That way we always have at least two versions available. Printing the saved print files from your PC or Server: . Free PC Software called Free Raw Print . DOS commands Capture additional unscheduled downtime events using MPrint: . Schedule Laboratory Cumulative Summary Reports . Schedule Future Orders . Schedule Nursing Documentation Additional functions of Mprint Server: . Give all Meditech Users the ability to print to a PC based printer . Execute an application to handle a captured print file . Play a .wav file to notify a user that a print job has been received. MPrint Server gives you the ability to define PCs and/or printers attached to PCs throughout your organization as MEDITECH devices. Printers can be shared even when they do not have Network Interface Cards (NICs) or terminal server ports. Reports can be automatically directed to PC hard drives via MEDITECH spooling utilities. MPrint Server runs as a background service on the Microsoft Windows platform and allows you to define multiple instances and rules in one program, offering better performance and simpler operation.
