Calling the eClaims DDE

If you are sending patients from a third party system into eClaims, you may want to use our DDE to call a patient from the third party system.

Once this DDE is called and as long as eClaims is open on that computer, eClaims will search for that patient and open the patent record.

For this to work, eClaims need to store the third party software’s unique ID, we store this is a unique external ID.
