Getting Started With Sun Master Patient Index

Running the Sun Master Patient Index Projects

After you complete all the steps listed under Implementing the Default Projects, you can work with the Sun Master Patient Index application you created by entering information through the EDM and by sending information to the master patient index through the Collaboration or Business Process using the provided sample files. You can also use these files as a template to create your own data to enter into the system.

The following topics provide information for working with the master patient index application:

Run the Sample Files

Running the sample files inserts patient records into the Sun Master Patient Index database. The data in both sample files is identical, so if you run both files only one record should be created for each entry in the files depending on how the match string and match thresholds have been modified.

ProcedureTo Access and Process the Sample Files

  1. Access the Java CAPS documentation pages at http://developers.sun.com/docs/javacaps/tutorials/samples.jsp.

  2. Next to Sun Master Patient Index, click Sample Project Zip File.

  3. Save the ZIP file to your computer.

  4. Extract the file to the directory you specified for the inbound File Adapter in Define the Environment.

    The inbound File Adapters pick up the files and append “.~in” to the file name so you know that each was picked up. After the data is processed, the outbound File Adapters create an output file for each input file. The files contain the output of executeMatch.


    Note –

    For the Collaboration project, the full text of the message along with the EUID is returned in the output file. For the Business Process project, only the EUID and result code are returned. The result codes are 1 (new record), 2 (system and local ID match found), and 3 (assumed match). Both 2 and 3 update existing records. Since the records in both files match, if the Collaboration file is processed first, the Business Process file will return all “2” result codes. If the Business Process file is run first, the result codes should be mostly “1”.


Work With the EDM

Using the EDM, you can view the records created by processing the sample data files. You can also create new records, compare records, merge records, and so on. For detailed instructions on working with the EDM, see Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index.

ProcedureTo Log in to the EDM

  1. Open a web browser.

  2. In the Address field, type the following:

    http://localhost:port/Personedm

    where port is the HTTP port number. By default, the port number is 8080. If you changed the port number, you can find it in \appserver\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml. User the port number for http-listener-1.

  3. Enter the user name and password you defined under Define EDM Security.

ProcedureTo View the New Records

If you processed the sample files as described under Run the Sample Files, you can view the new records from the EDM.

  1. On the Search page, select Advanced Person Lookup (Alphanumeric) in the Search Type field.

  2. Click Search.

    The Search Results page appears with a list of all records in the database.

  3. To view detailed information about a record, click the EUID of the record you want to view.

  4. To compare two records side-by-side, select the check box next to the records you want to compare and then click Compare Records.

  5. To view any potential duplicates that were created:

    1. Click the Matching Review tab.

    2. Enter today’s date in the Create Date From field.

    3. Click Search for Potential Duplicate.

      The results list appears.

  6. To view assumed matches, repeat the above steps but click Search for Assumed Match to run the search.

  7. To add a new record, click Create System Record.
