Titanium & ISOH

Communicare can interface with the Information System for Oral Health (ISOH) or Titanium.

Note: A standard activation fee and additional charges apply. For more information, contact Communicare Support.

Dental appointments can be managed in Communicare and patient demographic information can then be uploaded to ISOH or Titanium into their demographic data fields.

Communicare sends appointment information to ISOH and Titanium based on the provider who is assigned to the appointment session template in the Communicare appointment book. Only those appointments for a provider with a speciality containing the word Dentist or Dental are exported.

Provider specialities are specified in the File > Providers > Speciality field.
Example Dentist Speciality
The provider specialities that will interface with ISOH and Titanium are:
  • Dental Assistant
  • Dental Hygienist
  • Dental Prosthetist
  • Dental Specialist
  • Dental Technician
  • Dental Therapist
  • Dentist
The interface between Communicare and Titanium also requires that the provider key used by Communicare for the relevant provider is registered in Titanium. To access this key:
  1. In Communicare, select File > Providers.
  2. In the Provider table, right-click and select Show Hidden Columns.
    Example provider key in Communicare
  3. Note the provider key displayed in the Provider No column for each provider that you want to have an interface between Communicare and Titanium.
  4. Send these provider key values to Titanium.

Communicare set up

Patient data is exported from Communicare to an HL7 file for ISOH or Titanium to import.

The export utility service is configured by Communicare Support. Support can set customisations in App.config, such as PatientExportMode to export only those patients with a dental booking created or modified since the last export, rather than all patients.

After it is configured, patient data is saved to c:\PatientExportFiles in HL7 format.

ISOH or Titanium Integration

Once Communicare is configured to export data, the Communicare Administrator for your health service should contact Titanium support and ask them to update the configuration for Titanium to import the messages created by Communicare. This integration work is not undertaken by Communicare.

You will receive an email from Communicare containing the following information:
  • Server name
  • IP address
  • Communicare patient export folder

Troubleshooting

If after Communicare and ISOH or Titanium have been configured, there is no data exported to c:\PatientExportFiles, check that any appointment session you expected to be exported has been allocated to a provider with one of the specialities listed above. If the appointment sessions are correctly allocated and you are still not receiving the appointments into the c:\PatientExportFiles folder, contact Communicare Support for further assistance.
