Tenet Health System: Includes five hospitals in the greater St. Louis area totalling over 1,500 beds.
Hospital Information System: McKesson HBO Star
User: Kelly Linder, Systems Analyst
Kelly Linder is supporting five different Tenet hospitals, four of them using different systems. He has been tasked to program several applications to upload and download data from these different systems including McKesson Star, SMS, OnDemand, SSI, and CTVision. He has used Boston WorkStation for sometime now in a number of ways. Most of his scripts run
unattended.
Claims processing. Within the McKesson environment, Kelly has developed a script which downloads professional services claims (1500 and UB92) from his Star system to SSI for processing. Users run it on demand and process over 200 claims per day. The script uses both Windows and HBOwem connections.
Uploading/Downloading files. Kelly has used Boston WorkStation to develop scripts that upload data into mainframes through Rumba and HBOC. He has used it to download files from two hospitals, one using McKesson and the other OnDemand, then creates a file from them for input into SSI.
Patient census. He has developed a script that finds every patient in a hospital and every doctor that has seen those patients, and prints a patient census for each of those doctors.
Report generation, system integration. Kelly developed a Boston WorkStation script to generate reports from data obtained from mainframe screens, and a script that reads a file output for four hospitals by SSI, and uploads the information into CTVision.
