To Meditech-L, I read the documentation on the Meditech Web site and am unable to make this functionality work. I will check Iatric site for 2006 tips and tricks to see if this resolves my issues. The reason the compile interests me is for multiple FTP transfers data formats required for an external data feed. For example fragging over to Abstracting to pick up surgical stuff et al (ICD9 Dx / Surgical Procs / Diagnoses). In theory the compile file will be ready to invoke the frag over to ABS to pick up this data. That way the compile is done only once if other formats require the same selection criteria. Jim Purvins

Purvins; meditech-l@MTUsers.com Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] NPR R/W Compile Report Option : Magic Version We covered how this works in our 2006 Tips and Tricks session. Unfortunately, the compile cannot be scheduled. Unfortunately, the compile replaces the previous compile index, does not append. C/S does not have the feature. What you do is write a COMPILE report, then you COMPILE it. Then you can point other reports at the COMPILE by putting the mnemonic you created during the "Compile of the Compile" and the reports pointed at the COMPILE use the index created by the COMPILE. A compile type report has just a page 1 and page 2 and no picture. They stick footnotes on page 2 so you can attach macros. The entire index is moved to the temp w/o checking how big it is, so you could run your machine out of memory "a/k/a High Buffer Use" if you make a compile that is too big. Not sure why you would not just use the activity index in BAR if you are running every day for yesterday. I don't see how a compiled index would be much faster.

Purvins Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 9:19 PM To: meditech-l@MTUsers.com Subject: [MEDITECH-L] NPR R/W Compile Report Option : Magic Version To Meditech-L, Anyone using the NPR compile report option in the Report Writer? I haven't checked what documentation Meditech has on this functionality but will report back to the Meditch-L what I find. What I need to achieve is precompile billing activity as late as possible in the day for tomorrow's reports. Has anyone attempted this or can point me in the right direction would be appreciated. I see potential and benefit for customers using this capability for numerous application purposes. For example, feeding other vendor systems with Meditech information if Data Repository has not been purchased. >From Contract Management / Reimbursement Analysis / Outsourcing Receiveables / >Budgeting applications. Does Client Server version have this option in NPR? Anyone having success with this NPR compile option? Jim Purvins
