Missing Hospital Numbers from BIBID Import

This is a Technical (IT) Instructions topic

Overview

In early versions of the BIBID Import software, the Hospital Number field didn't transfer correctly. The problem was fixed with version 1.1 and the solution is to re-run the BIBID import software. Doing so will fill any gaps in the Hospital Number for previously imported records.

• It will not overwrite any hospital numbers you may have added since
• It will not affect any new patient records you may have added since installing iBID.
• It will not overwrite or re-import any other iBID data.

Prerequisites

In order to run the BIBID Import you need:

• The Firebird Client Library installing on the same PC as the import will run
• The server name and path of the BIBID database.

If you install the iBID client application on a PC that already has BIBID installed on it, then the above pre-requisites are taken care of.

Running the import

In the latest versions of iBID, the BIBID Data Transfer option is not advertised, however the software application is still installed and can be accessed directly.

The program is called importbibid.exe & it can be found in the iBID installation folder:

%localappdata%\Evolution Healthcare Systems Limited\AquilaCRS-32\importbibid.exe

Run the importbibid.exe application and follow the instructions from step 2 onwards on this page: Import from BIBID v1

Once the import program has finished, you should have the missing hospital numbers in your database. Please check this is the case and contact [www.EvoHelpdesk.co.uk] in the event of any problems.
