Conversion from Convert data from
Simple Electronic Transmission (SET.1) Version 7.0
to the Stratford Windows version.
This is the program that was given out to providers in Southern California by Transamerica Medicare and later by NHIC when they took over the contract.
This conversion program requires that you have a newly installed NHIC account installed as usual, example: \ssiwin\304901
You must also have the SET70 programs installed on the same computer or network. If you have them installed on the same disk in the default location, example: \set70 then the Stratford conversion program will find them automatically and make this process very easy.
Below is a walkthrough that assumes you have these two programs installed in the default locations.
First log into your new NHIC account:
Put in your account number as the ID. Then the password (default: PASSWORD, upper case) and press the button labeled: "Select this ID and Password".
From this main directory select number 8 "File and system management"
Now you will see the screen below:
Note that you cannot convert data from any source into your account if you have entered any data. This is very important. The conversion program assumes that you have newly installed programs.
If you do try to convert and import data (by selected #9 - see the graphic above) after you have already entered anything you will see a screen like this:
If you have a newly installed account, from the next menu, select number 9 – "Convert data from another software company".
You will see the screen below:
From this menu, select number 1 – Convert data from Simple Electronic Transmission (SET.1) …
If you have the SET70 data in the default location and you have installed the new NHIC program in the default location, you will see this screen:
Note that the program will automatically find your data if it is there.
If it does find your data, you will see a screen like the one below. You should press the button labeled "Convert the data"
At this time you will see a screen like the one below. The time it takes depends on the number of patients you need to convert and the speed of your hardware. For 300 patients it takes about 2 - 10 seconds.
You will see this when the data is converted. Just press the button "OK" and you are ready to check out your data to confirm that it converted to your satisfaction.
Go back to the "Main Menu", then select number 3 - Patient information, and lookup some of your patients. You should find that your patients still have the same lookup number, but it is possible that some have been changed. You will be able to find your patients by name.
