Re: [MEDITECH-L] PHA Generic Name Scripting Question

Robin, It is possible, but as far as I know, the most efficient way is to manipulate the data outside of Meditech and script it back in. If you have someone who understands how databases and joins work, this is possible if you have the FSV source file layouts. I'm in the process of doing this ver

Robin - I have to manually correct the AHFS codes periodically because of this. With the MIS allergens feature, you no longer have to rely upon AHFS codes for allergies. However, even though FirstDataBank and I'm sure the other FSV's have a program that will also check for duplicates, Meditech s
