Zedmed provides an executable file (PenDataExtract.exe) that must exist in your local Zedmed installation directory in order for Clinical Audit to be able to collect data. The local Zedmed installation directory is usually C:\Zedmed or C:\Patients.
If this file is not installed you will receive the following error message when you click the Clinical Audit 'Collect' button.

 


 

Pathology results received in HL7 format will be viewable from the Summary Views panel Measurements tab and will be extracted for CAT4The Zedmed and Zedmed data directory should have populated with your install locations, if the locations are not correct you can change the folder to match your settings. We recommend to leave the default settings unless you are experiencing problems with the data collection. To enable CAT4 to extract this data pathology results it needs to access the Blobs folder. This folder is used by Zedmed to store HL7 based data after importing. The default location is c:\zedmeddata\blobs but this can vary depending on your installation – to verify the location you can check CRS_App_Server.ini (which may be in a folder called ZedmedServer) which should have an entry called *BLOBFilesPath=C:\ZedmedData\Blobs*

From version 29 and later Zedmed will require an 'Integrator Password' for CAT4 to access the patient data in Zedmed. This password is set up in Zedmed first and will then have to be updated/entered in the CAT4/Edit/Preferences/Zedmed screen.

Use the 'Test Integrator Password' button to check if your password is valid.

You can also change the settings for extracting archived and deceased patients which by default is set to 'No'. This is generally not needed in General Practice but is required for the NKPI report.




Warning
Zedmed has advised Pen CS that they have made some changes in Zedmed v29 to improve data security by introducing an Integrator Account. What this means is that the current connections strings Pen CS uses to access the Zedmed database for data collections need to be replaced to use the new Integrator Account.

 

Pen CS will be making changes in CAT4 and Topbar to enable this change.
