PDA Utilities Installation Guide:
(Optional Install only for Pocket PC & Palm)
Pocket PC Setup
Web-enabled Palm Setup
Standard Palm Setup

Web-enabled Palm Setup

If your Palm is not web-enabled, please do not use these instructions. Instead, please use the Standard Palm Setup

Requirements

• A handheld device running a Palm OS version 2, 3.1 or higher with an 8-bit screen, and Palm OS 4 or 5 with a 16-bit screen, with 40KB of free memory. Both versions consist of three files, SuperWaba.pdb, SuperWaba.prc, and SWNatives.prc.
• Meditrek version 2.8 and above
• A PC running Windows 95 or higher and capable of connecting to the Internet. This PC should have 500KB of free disk space. This PC must also have the proper Palm HotSync software installed for each Palm user who will use this PC to HotSync.

The only setup information you will need is your Meditrek login ID and password.

I. Installation Summary

Installation is comprised of two steps, downloading the Superwaba and installing the Meditrek case log program on the Palm device. If you are a third-year student, you will also need to install a schedule file. 

Typical Installation
The steps below are for typical installation; your exact steps may differ slightly, depending on your Palm's configuration. For more information, please consult the documentation or help files that came with your PDA.

Installation Steps:

1. Open your Palm's web browser and navigate to the PDA Setup page: https://www.meditrek.com/njms/pda.htm. Note that the link starts with https, not http.
2. Enter your Meditrek login name and password.
3. Choose the Palm link.
4. Click the name of the file you want to download. (See below.)
5. A Download screen will come up. Under "Save To", make sure Device is selected, and then press Yes. On the next screen, press Save.
6. A Transfer window will ask whether you want to accept the file into Applications; click Yes, then click OK.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each file you need.

A.SuperWaba

SuperWaba is a portable subset of Java that has been optimized for use on devices with small screens. This is required to enable your Palm to run Meditrek. It needs to be installed only once, during initial setup

B. Meditrek

The Meditrek Case Log program also has two versions, one for Class 3, and one for Classes 1 and 2. It needs to be re-installed only if the version changes, either because you changed classes, or because we issued an upgrade. Both versions of the program consist of three files, Meditrek.prc, Meditrek.pdb, and ICD9Data.pdb. Please note that the latter is a very large file; please be patient when downloading and installing it.

C. Third-Year Schedule

Third-year students only: you will need to update the schedule before the start of every new rotation. The schedule is a single file called MeditrekSchedule.pdb (date).

II. Uploading your Logs

Your web-enabled Palm and Meditrek allow you to upload your logs to the web server directly from your Palm. How often you need to upload will depend on several factors (such as the number of patients you see and the capacity of your PDA), but we strongly suggest you do so at least weekly, and/or after entering a large batch of logs.

Steps to Upload your Logs:

1. Start Meditrek on your Palm and click in the title bar (where it says 'Meditrek v2.x') to bring up the File menu.
2. Select 'Manage records...' from the list.
3. Check if the records on the display are correct.
4. Click the 'Upload All to Web' button, and follow the instructions on your screen.
5. You can confirm an upload, as well as manage your records (view or edit) via the Web at www.meditrek.com. (Click the Registered User Login.)
6. After you have confirmed that the records were uploaded successfully, click Delete All under the File menu to clear the data file on your PDA.
