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.
