You can import data from other database systems into the EACTS Database Software. Please take following steps:

1. Download and install the EACTS Database software.
2. Download the data interchange format DTD file.
3. Download the dictionaries file, which contains lists of procedures, diagnoses, etc.
4. If you wish to preview the data interchange format, enter a dummy patient into the EACTS Database software, export the data to disk, uncompress and open the XML file with a text editor.
5. Convert data from the other system into the data interchange format.
6. Check your converted data against the downloaded DTD file. It will check your export data for syntax and structure errors.
7. Import your converted data into the EACTS Database software and check if it looks good to you.
