Aha!
I did know something had arrived the Alltalk message notifier told me so, but I assumed it had put something in the labrslts folder but finding it empty I was at a loss, now I see! I think I should redirect the non health message to my Genie Image processing folder. Am I likely to get other non health non picture messages?
>> If someone chooses to send one then it will go there. As mentioned though, there is no simple method at this point.
I think the alltalk message download summary is activated by activity so tells me something has come but only reports in the summary window what is in the labrslts folder, and as I always have an htm from Melb path, it always tells me there is a web file waiting, but doesn't report directly that there is a file in the "other" folder
>> The summary is the Alltalk Message Viewer (Tools-->Alltalk MEssage Viewer). The Viewer is in serious need of work, but by clicking on the Messages From the Tree view on the left will show you the non-health messages waiting and you can view and open them. Attached is a screen shot of ATMessage Viewer with the PDF you sent me. I am surprised the JPG did not show up in messages, it should have done (it is certainly present..). As I said, this viewer has a lot more potential that it outwardly appears and it also needs some work.
I assume by this method I could send any type of file e.g. a pdf or a .doc are they encrypted when sending in this way? Are they or can they be signed?
>> Yes any file of any type. They are encrypted in exactly the same way as other files and yes you can sign them. Just put them into the signing folder, but alas this wont work if you have enabled the "sign only" option where the file is expected to have a particular text sequence in it.
I have created a shortcut to the alltalk outbound in my send to folder so if I right click I can send a file to that folder easily. Just need to find a way to rename them quickly now.!
>> OK, this will become a part of AVP in the future.
Is there a size limit of file?
>> Not technically, I have transmitted files of 500MB, but practically, you would want to keep them down to less than 5MB.
If I send such a file e.g. pdf to someone running the old EQuery where will it end up?
>> Later version of EQuery also supported health/non-health but most people did not set this value so it will end up in the same place as the PIT/HL7 files, For Genie this will probably be OK for other practice software, it means they will probably never be seen.
I have sent you a screen print using testc long and short forms for SJOG sent to outbound folder. Also sent you a test pdf (the Genie alltalk setup file)
I tested sending a pdf to myself and it worked.
>> As mentioned, yes, I have them.
When speaking to GPs one very useful function they found for 2hippo was to send an image file e.g. to a dermatologist of a rash rather than trying to consult over the phone. I think Medical Objects can also send pictures.
>> Again it seems like this is best handled by AVP.

Further you wont know who it came from OR what patient it belongs to.We will probably add functionality in AVP to allow you to transmit Files by selecting them from a browse window. Currently, no practice software that I am aware of supports the image based health record (Diamed) format so until it does, we cant offer a automated method for associating it with a patients record.In the mean time, we recommend creating a Word Document containing the patient information and the image and transmitting that.Glen.
