The Components of Soft. Reports Designer Soft. Reports Launcher Report Explorer Layout Editor Query Designer Executing Ad hoc Reports Scheduling Ad hoc Reports Tracking Ad hoc Reports Soft. Reports Formatter PC A dedicated PC/Server that accepts the report *. xml data from the individual modules and translates it into the Soft. Reports format (*. pdf). Soft. Reports Program Software installed on the servers (“Main” and “Aux”). This is the actual application that executes for all active environments.
Soft. Reports Report Formatters • Dedicated servers required for Soft. Reports to run • Soft. Reports 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
Formatter specifications for a Physical machine Standard Formatter PC hardware configuration: • Server class Xeon or Opteron 2. 5 GHz Dual or Quad core – – – 4 GB 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 4 GB 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 ü Purchasing two or more Server Spec PCs (can be virtual). ü Install IIS (Internet Information Services) and. NET Required. ü Adobe Reader version 7. 0 or higher. ü Excel Viewer or Microsoft Office. ü Open task with IP addresses/Server names.
SCC products that also require formatters? • • Patient Reports from all modules except Soft. Path Soft. Reports Management Reports (Ad hoc) APR, AWR, Pharmacy and Radiology (Launcher Only) Soft. Total. QC needs Soft. Reports to produce Reports/Labels • Soft. Bank 25. 1 and higher for management reports • Soft. Express uses Soft. Reports for their management reports
Different versions of Soft. Reports • 1. 1. 7. 6. 8 is a 32 bit version of Software it is not compatible with 64 bit operating systems • 1. 1. 8. 2. 4 is 32 bit compatible but is running on an 64 bit emulation • 1. 1. 9. x will be native 64 bit compatible and able to work with ASCII Base 4. 0. 2, 4. 0. 3 and 4. 5
Our Application Servers Tom. Cat Used for the 1. 1. 7. x line of Soft. Reports JBOSS or Web. Logic Used for 1. 1. 8. x line of Soft. Reports Glass. Fish Used for 1. 1. 9. x - Our future line of Soft. Reports
What's next after HW/SW has been installed? • Schedule Kick off call to discuss workflow and reporting needs • Send samples of Patient reports to the client • Client comes to SCC to Soft. Reports class • Soft. Reports Implementer works with the client to design their patient reports for Go-Live

Using Soft. Media for archiving with Soft. Reports • With the use of Soft. Media one is able to save an exact copy of the report with the original printed date and time. • Any version of Soft. Reports will work with 2. 0. 8. 8 or higher of Soft. Media.
Example of an archived patient report
View the document within Soft. Media
Adding scanned documents to patient reports using Soft. Media • Using Soft. Media we have the capability of inserting scanned reports (if Soft. Media 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
Soft. Reports is not just for Patient reports we can create forms
Soft. Reports can be used with Soft. Web Plus can use Soft. Reports RL 1 layout to send to your outreach clients.
Example of XML
Can Soft. Reports send Patient Reports to an EMR? • Soft. Reports can be FTPed to network location for client to pick up and process. • Soft. Reports 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 Soft. Reports 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 Soft. Reports? Answer: You can still produce Legacy Patients Reports after upgrading to Soft. Reports by using the print scheduler in lab and adding -e. RDL parameter on the extension line.
