Hospital
File
Your original CDM file is
converted by Craneware into hospital file format (.hpt).
The Hospital file is the file that you work with in Active
Chargemaster.
You can view the HPT file
as it was at any particular time since the start of the review, and see
which charge items have been modified since then.
You can choose to look
at:
- The HPT file as
it was at the start of this review or any previous reviews. These "original"
HPT files are equivalent to the CDM files that are sent to Craneware
at the start of each review.
- The file as it
was at any particular date and time. This is useful if you want to see
how a charge item looked at a particular date.
To view a previous version
of the HPT file
- Choose View
> Hospital File. The HPT file is displayed in a new window.
- Do one of the following:
- To view the HPT file
as it was at the start of a particular review, choose an audit date from
the first drop-down menu.
- To view the HPT file
as it was at a particular time, use the Specific Date controls
to enter the required date and time.
The contents of the window change to reflect the previous version of
the file, with the chosen date shown in the window's title bar. If a charge
item has since changed in the current HPT file, it is highlighted in blue.
If a charge item is blank then there was no entry at the selected point
in time.
The date and time can also be selected from Active
Audit.
To search a previous version
of the HPT file
- Ensure that the original
HPT file is open (View > Hospital File).
- Choose Edit
> Findfrom the main window menu. The Searching Original
Chargemaster File dialog box displays.
- Use the drop-down menu to
select which column you want to search, then type in the text or numbers
you want to search for.
- Choose from the following
options:
- Case
Sensitive— the search will look only for text that is in same
case as you have entered (i.e. upper or lower case).
- Match
Whole Text Only— the search will only find matching whole
words, not parts of words.
- Wild
Card Search— allows you to enter wildcard characters '*' within
the search text. This lets you search for like occurrences of a particular
string. For example, b*n will match with bun,
bin, boon
etc.
- Click on the Find button.
The first matching field is highlighted in the Hospital Display window.
Click on the Next button to move
to the next matching field.
