Would you like to know more about SoftReports Patient reports? Then, you have come to the right session. We will discuss what is needed to implement SoftReports. The advantages of using patient reports and how we work with the other products to bring you a complete package for reporting. We will allow plenty of time for a round table question and answer session on patient results reports at the end of the presentation.
The Components of SoftReports SoftReports Designer Report Explorer Layout Editor Query Designer SoftReports Launcher Executing Ad hoc Reports Scheduling Ad hoc Reports Tracking Ad hoc Reports SoftReports Formatter PC A dedicated PC/Server that accepts the report *.xml data from the individual modules and translates it into the SoftReports format (*.pdf). SoftReports Program Software installed on the servers (“Main” and “Aux”). This is the actual application that executes for all active environments.
SoftReports Report Formatters Dedicated servers required for SoftReports to run SoftReports software component “formats or transforms” the XML data Two formatters are required for 5000 orders or less. If more then 5000 SCC will evaluate. The formatters automatically load balances and in case one goes down the other acts as a backup and there will be no interruption of reports going out. These computers can be Physical or Virtual machines Formatters Formatters
Formatter specifications for a Physical machine Standard Formatter PC hardware configuration: Server class Xeon or Opteron 2.5 GHz Dual or Quad core 4GB of RAM 2.1 GB of disk space for software and runtime files Network Adapter – 1 GBps Windows 2003 Server Web Edition or higher Internet Information Services Installed 4GB of paging space (virtual memory)
Formatter specifications for a Virtual machine Requirements for Virtual PC Installations: Intel Xeon/AMD Opteron 2.0 GHz equivalent PC, configured in single core configuration 2 GB Ram Network Adapter 1 GBps 2.1 GB of disk space for software and runtime files Windows 2003 Server Web Edition or higher Internet Information Services Installed
Clients responsibilities Purchasing two or more Server Spec PCs (can be virtual). Install IIS (Internet Information Services) and .NET Required. Adobe Reader version 7.0 or higher. Excel Viewer or Microsoft Office. Open task with IP addresses/Server names.
SCC products that also require formatters? Patient Reports from all modules except SoftPath SoftReports Management Reports (Ad hoc) APR, AWR, Pharmacy and Radiology (Launcher Only) SoftTotalQC needs SoftReports to produce Reports/Labels SoftBank 25.1 and higher for management reports SoftExpress uses SoftReports for their management reports

Using SoftReports to design Patient Reports
SoftReports Designer Layouts and SubReports
Inside view of the RL1 Standard report
SrptResults the section that controls how the body of the lab report prints
Instant RL1 Standard Report
Two Column layout
Patient letter with results
Example of a Toxicology report
Using SoftMedia for archiving with SoftReports With the use of SoftMedia one is able to save an exact copy of the report with the original printed date and time. Any version of SoftReports will work with 2.0.8.8 or higher of SoftMedia.
Example of an archived patient report
View the document within SoftMedia
Adding scanned documents to patient reports using SoftMedia Using SoftMedia we have the capability of inserting scanned reports (if SoftMedia Global is purchased). This functionality can be used with batch reports from the Lab print scheduler, Instant reports or Cumulative reports.
Attaching scanned documents to patient reports
Output of the report with document or image attached
Archived document with the scanned document or image
SoftReports is not just for Patient reports we can create forms
SoftReports can be used with SoftWeb Plus SoftWeb Plus can use SoftReports RL1 layout to send to your outreach clients.
Example of XML
Can SoftReports send Patient Reports to an EMR? SoftReports can be FTPed to network location for client to pick up and process. SoftReports can be directed to a directory on our servers for client to pickup and process via FTP. SCC has the ability to split each patient by medical record or billing number.
Can SoftReports send Patient Reports to an EMR? SCC has the ability to provide index file showing all files created by batch run SCC has the ability to reprint stay with new activity (File on EMR would overwrite) SCC has the ability to send only new results (File on EMR would be appended)
Can I still use my Legacy reports if I move to SoftReports? Answer: You can still produce Legacy Patients Reports after upgrading to SoftReports by using the print scheduler in lab and adding -eRDL parameter on the extension line.
