Configuring Best Practice for the Importation of MMEx HL7 Documents
Automatically downloaded documents can be easily stored against patients' files in Best Practice. This includes information from completed MMEx forms formatted as HL7 documents.
When your MMEx Client is installed, part of the installation includes establishing two files where HL7 and non-HL7 documents will be stored. When integrating MMEx with your Practice Management System (PMS), you will have to direct the PMS to the location of your MMEx documents.
