RE: [Talk] Reading document with BWS

[Maurice Bastarache]

Cris,   Are you a Magic or CS Meditech site?  Also, when these reports are converted to PostScript files does this also include adding header and footer information so they are ready for COLD processing?  Or are there additional steps?  I would be very interested in this.  We have both Meditech and McKesson’s Horizon Patient Folder.  Thanks.   Maurice Bastarache Greenwich Hospital   From: Cris Clausing (SBCnd) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 12:50 AM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: RE: [Talk] Reading document with BWS   Kris,             We are, very shortly going live, with scripting Nursing Documentation INTO the McKesson Horizon Patient Folder from MEDITECH ‘print jobs’.             Interbit Data has done some custom programming for us, where they convert our MEDITECH *.prn / PCL-5e files to PostScript via an intermediate step using Adobe Distiller to create a PDF file.             Maybe they can do the reverse ….convert a PDF to text…?    Just a thought.             They are   www.interbitdata.com .   Good Luck!
