TigerView Browser Advanced Link Integration Instructions

TigerView features an enhanced method of practice management software (PMS) or Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software integration that allows more information to be passed to TigerView than is capable with the standard TigerView Browser Link interface.

This enhanced method is a mixture of our standard Browser Link bridge and our INI File bridge.
This method requires the TigerView Browser Bridge application be installed on each TigerView workstation. Once installed, have the user launch the TigerView Browser Bridge application, select the TigerView Workstation's executable path. (For instance, C:\TigerView\Tiger1.exe is a common installation path). Then have the user select the tiger1.ini file path (default is C:\Windows\tiger1.ini).

This method of integration utilizes a multiline INI style string that is a ASCII Base64 encoded string to create and select patient records..

This multiline INI style string can be as simple as just the required fields, or as complex using all the fields. Prefer to figure 1 on field definitions. An example of both:

[Slave]
LastName=Smith
FirstName=James

- or -

[Slave]
LastName=Johnson
FirstName=Robert
ProviderLastName=House
ProviderFirstName=Gregory
Patient=123456
PatientSSN=444-44-4444
SubscriberSSN=333-33-3333
Gender=MALE
DOB=01/01/1970
ClaimID=C1234
AddrStreetNo=123
AddrStreetName=Some Str.
AddrSuiteNo=101
AddrCity=Some City
AddrState=VA
AddrZip=12345
PhHome=(123) 555-4567
PhWork=(123) 555-8901

The strings get encoded as ASCII Base64 strings, and set a special HTML link that will launch TigerView on the user's computer.

Converting the above examples results in the following links:

Fill out the [Slave] section of the string as shown in figure 1: (section and key names are not case sensitive.)

[Slave]		Data Type		Required Format		Required

FirstName=		Alpha/Num		spaces, hypens, apostrophes accepted		Yes
ProviderLastName=		Alpha		spaces, hypens, apostrophes accepted		No
ProviderFirstName=		Alpha		spaces, hypens, apostrophes accepted		No
PatientID=		Alpha/Num				No
PatientSSN=		Num		xxx-xx-xxxx or xxxxxxxxx		No
SubscriberSSN=		Alpha/Num		xxx-xx-xxxx or xxxxxxxxx		No
Gender=		Alpha		(Enumerated value. Must be one of the Options listed below) "MALE" "FEMALE" "MALE - NEUTERED"* "FEMALE - SPAYED"*		No
DOB=		Date		Valid date format ie. mm/dd/yyyy		No
ClaimID=		Alpha/Num				No
AddrStreetNo=		Alpha/Num				No

* Applicable only in Veterinary mode

Figure 1

LastName and FirstName are required fields. All other fields are optional (except in Veterinary mode where Species and Pet Name is also required). In Veterinary mode, First and Last name refer to the Owner's name.

IMPORTANT: each field needs to be on its own line.

TigerView uses the PatientID field to determine whether the patient already exists in the database. If the ID matches an ID in the database, the patient is selected. If the ID doesn’t match, TigerView will attempt to match on an exact first and last name. If no match is found the patient is created.

If optional patient information is sent over that does not match the information already in a patient record, the new information being passed will not be updated in TigerView.

Use the PatientSSN field to send over the SSN belonging to the patient. Use the SubscriberSSN to send over the SSN of the Insured.

Provider First Name and Last Name must both be passed to be accepted. Both names need to match the Provider information in TigerView Administration exactly.

Provider First Name and Last Name will only work with TigerView Professional versions 7.0.18 or later.

Use the below form as way to test generating special TigerView links, and launching TigerView (if the TigerView Browser Bridge application is installed on your computer - along with a TigerView workstation).
