Question

What is the recommended frequency setting for the CCD/CDA clinical summary Link Logic export task?

Answer 1

When enabling the CCD/CDA Clinical Summary Recurring Task configure the recurring task to run Every 1 to 3 hours. This recomendation is because LinkLogic exports all clinical list changes that have occurred between each frequency time interval and if set less than 1 hour in a production environment multiple CCD's could be exported for each patient during the course of their visit.

Answer 2

Another consideration is this.  If youi have only one LinkLogic server, the clinical summary job can tie up LinkLogic and keep any other jobs from processing.  This can cause issues if you are a busy site and this keeps, say, appointment arrivals from populating for an extended period of time while the clinical summary export is having to deal with a large number of exports.
