It could be a secondary benefit, but there are better products for automating downloading, MPRINT being great. The primary benefit of BW is to script. Instead of a human reading the screen, making a decision, and inputting data, the computer does this. Which means that the process has to be simple enough that the logic can be programmed, unexpected results can be dealt with, etc. You wouldn't use BW to register a patient, but BW could watch and when it sees a facesheet print on prompt take over the session and perform some action. Or here we update 3000 dictionary items from an Excel spreadsheet without the clerical staff typing.
Hope this helps,

Can a process to automate the downloading of a report from Meditech be
accomplished with BW? I looked at some of the past postings and they seem
to reference the NPR Client/Server .. we don't have that version, the
reports can be scheduled BUT the downloading of them has to be manual (is
what I am told from OUR NPR gurus). Would this be a typical use and/or be a
rationale to use BW? Remember I am new to this ... so be gentle ....
