OpenGate

OpenGate is a DLL that opens your MEDITECH data and dictionaries so that it is accessible to external applications. If you have ever wanted to access or use MEDITECH C/S or MAGIC data outside of MEDITECH, this is the tool for you. Blue Elm is proud to provide this new product which makes access to your MEDITECH MAGIC and C/S data as simple and easy as if the data was contained in an open database (e.g., Access, SQL Server, Oracle). Actually, with OpenGate, your MEDITECH data is now in an open database!

Whether you are looking to populate an external database, create a report, or access patient data real-time outside of MEDITECH, OpenGate is the one tool you need.

OpenGate is based on Microsoft's ADO.NET provider specification. Blue Elm has crafted 2 native ADO.NET providers. One is used for accessing MAGIC based data; while the other is used for accessing C/S based data.

Key Benefits

	Access MEDITECH data real-time outside of MEDITECH
	No costly interfaces to integrate
	No messy NPR Reports to manage
	Industry standard solution built with functions to handle hierarchical data
	Extremely fast data access and retrieval
	Incredibly flexible

OpenGate can access any data, even programs (SAF files), contained within your MEDITECH database. The following is a small C# sample of opening an OpenGate Connection object to a C/S database:

CsConnection con = new CsConnection;
con.Server = "BECSER";
con.HCIS = "BEC54";
con.Database = "ADM.BEC";
con.Open();

OpenGate comes with a SQL like syntax for accessing MAGIC and C/S based NPR data. However, OpenGate allows the user to input native MAGIC syntax into the queries. In short, all data can be accessed on your MAGIC or C/S network.
