[Gnumed-devel] Exploring XDT

[J Busser]

Questions:

1. the file patients.txt ... can there be multiple copies i.e. one on  
the legacy server machine, and one on the legacy client machine? If  
yes, does GNUmed parse both, and provide the user with a combined  
list in the dropdown? Is there a suggested practical limit to the  
number of names in the list, in order to avoid slowing down GNUmed if  
this is a risk?

2. does patients.txt support carrying a legacy machine uniqueID for  
the patient, and is it supported (or should we then support it) as  
the GNUmed external_id?

2. is the file patients.txt usable to undertake a batch import in  
GNUmed?
