Import Overview

Process MCMP-PAT does not directly interact with any EHR system.  In order to copy existing data into MCMP-PAT, the EHRS needs to export it into a tab-delimited text file in a certain format.  MCMP-PAT will then read the tab-delimited file, check it for errors and import the data.  The flowchart below shows the import process and the documents needed. Notes For EHRS that store data using standard coding (LOINC, CPT2, CPT4, SNOMED, ICD9, drug codes), the algorithm, mapping and downloadable resources documents are needed. The data definition documents would also be helpful. For EHRS that store data without using any of the standard coding systems listed above, only the data definition documents are needed. 1To obtain a copy of these documents logon to the forum, view the "Download MCMP Documents" topic then download the files under the "Electronic Import Specifications" section. 2These documents can be downloaded from the same location as the algorithm for measures calculations. 3These documents are also listed in the same location as the algorithm for measures calculations.
