We actually have something similar at our site that
involves OE, but we have the messages being routed to disk.
To make this happen, we have a small devices ( kind of
like a print buffer ) that presents it's self to the Meditech System as a
printer, and spools the information to a HardDrive.
The application watches for the file to be
created, and then sucks it in.
If you'd like more information let me know, and I'll track down the specifics on the hardware.

Subject: [Talk] Accessing a Meditech Background job.
I have a request
from a Meditech customer that's sort of "beyond my pay
grade"...
"They want to know how to write a script to
capture the information contained in an Meditech OE Background job. Here
are the details: They’ve setup a bogus printer, this bogus printer
receives misc messages. Based on what the msg says they want to perform an
action, for example they might want to write the data to a web application,
update a pt registration, etc.
"How would they go about capturing the information in that background job? She said that they cannot print this info to an actual file. I’ve search Talk and the website, but couldn’t find anything."
