What is DataGrabber? |
DataGrabber is a Windows' System Tray application that understands how to bridge patients that you have open in one application to another application, starting it if necessary. DataGrabber works with most third-party practice management software, and will launch most third-party dental and medical imaging software. For example, if you have patient "John Doe" open in your practice management application and then click on the icon in the system tray, DataGrabber will automatically open that patient in your medial imaging program. Using DataGrabber, the cumbersome and time consuming practice of manually starting applications, finding a specific patient and then opening that patient is automated with a single click of the mouse. |
What are DataDrills And How Are They Used? |
DataDrills are utilized by DataGrabber to fill in any missing patient information when pulling patient information from an application. For example, if your practice management application only displays "John Doe" but not any other patient information (i.e. social security number or data of birth) in its interface, the DataGrabber application utilizes a DataDrill to retrieve the missing information directly from the practice management's database or memory. Adding DataDrills To DataGrabberAdditional DataDrills may be added to the DataGrabber application either by using the installation CD that came with the product (through the standard Windows Modify option) or by running the appropriate upgrader directly from the Data Grabber Downloads Site. You may access the download site directly from this web site, or by selecting Updates, Patches and Add-ons from the Web Links option in DataGrabber's pop-up menu. What if there is no DataDrill for my application?On occasion, there may be a case where a DataDrill does not exist for your practice management application. Should a DataDrill not exist, you may send either a trial version of your practice management application and/or your practice management database (preferably on CDR) to: Data Integration Department Be sure to include your contact information so that Apteryx may contact you when the DataDrill becomes available. |
