Extract and Load via SSMT

Description

The SSMT tool is an Allscripts provided tool that allows clinics to extract and load data into their TouchWorks system. This tool should be used by a person that understands how to use it and you should be sure to follow the Allscripts documented process when utilizing the tool.

    Warning:
    Ensure that you complete a database SQL Backup prior to loading any data through SSMT.  The tool is pretty robust, 
    but human error or progam bugs could create a mess.  Completing a backup first takes only a few minutes and can save 
    hours of time if something does happen.
