Connect to Medical Office

Medical Office and Connect exchange files through two folders. You or your Medical Office support make three settings in Medical Office. You do this only once. Connect shows the settings under Preparation in Medical Office.

Create the two folders

Create the import folder C:\GDT\Medisync\In and the export folder C:\GDT\Medisync\Out before you start Medical Office. If they do not exist yet, Connect creates them when it connects. In that case, restart Medical Office afterwards.

For IT: Connect writes to the folders as the Windows service account NT SERVICE\MediSyncConnectHub, not as the signed-in user. This account needs read and write permissions on both folders. If the folders are on a network drive, enter the UNC path, for example \\server\share, not a drive letter. Connect checks the permissions before it connects.

Create the Auftrag MSYN01

Open Extras›Datenpflegesystem, then Stammdaten›Aufträge›Aufträge. Create the Auftrag (order) MSYN01 and tick Geräteanbindung (device connection). In the full version, Medical Office asks for a licence code for the device connection. You get it from INDAMED, the maker of Medical Office.

Open the Geräteanbindung tab. Under Schnittstelle (interface), choose GDT. In Verfahrensspez. Kennfeld (procedure ID), enter MSYN01. In Exportdatei (export file), enter C:\GDT\Medisync\Out\MSNCMOFF.000. Leave Datenaufnahme-Programm (data capture program) empty.

Enter the import folder at each workstation

At each workstation, open Extras›Datenpflegesystem›Arbeitsplatz›Allgemein, then the Im-/Export tab. Enter the import folder C:\GDT\Medisync\In as the xDT-Importpfad (xDT import path). Medical Office saves when you leave the page.

Own text categories (optional)

If you have custom text categories in Medical Office, for example Sono, Connect can write parts of the note there. In Connect, enter each category name exactly as Medical Office shows it, not its short code.

Change the folders later

If Medical Office uses other folders, open Systems in Connect and click Change next to the folder. Enter the same folder as in Medical Office.

How the note looks in Medical Office

Each note becomes its own entry under its date. The patient does not need an open Auftrag. Reviewed ICD codes appear as a line of text in the entry. Copy them into the diagnoses yourself. To learn how to send notes, see Send notes to the PVS.
