File Delivery User's Guide

File Delivery is a utility that allows results from labs and hospitals to be downloaded into an Electronic Medical Record or Practice Management System as text files.  These files can then be manipulated by the physician’s office and pasted into electronic medical records.  File Delivery can run with or without Clinician’s user interface.  When used with Clinician, results data can be converted into web viewable output in the form of HTML or PDF files.

The File Delivery client/server application automates the process of downloading reports from Clinician to a user’s desktop.

This guide describes how to set up and use the File Delivery application to automate the process of downloading reports into a desktop PC.

Starting File Delivery

File Delivery launches on startup without user intervention and it is automatically upgraded via ESD.  Normally, there is no need to log into it since the user name and password are initially stored on the client system.  

Since many reports are delivered after hours, ideally, File Delivery should be allowed to run continuously on an unattended workstation or even a server.  Once File Delivery is properly set up and running it can continue to run uninterrupted until it’s time to make a change.

File Delivery Login

The File Delivery Login screen appears if the stored user name and password fail to successfully log in, or if they are not found in the system registry.
