This library can be used to convert basic administrative patient data from an Excel file into the GECAMed import XML format.
You need an Excel file in the old format "Office 97-2003" - .xls file (because of the used library).

The Excel file must be set up as follows:

 • The first sheet must contain all data
 • The first row can contain headlines and is not considered. The data starts at row 2
 • All data of a patient must be in one row
 • The content of the columns must be as followed:
     Column A: social security number
     Column B: first name 
     Column C: last name
     Column D: title ("mr", "mrs", "ms") 
     Column E: gender ("male", "female", "unknown", "other")
     Column F: birthday (formatted as date)
     Column G: birth name
     Column H: created date (formatted as date)
     Column I: EMPTY
     Column J: insurance ("CNS", "RCAM", ... - see the acronyms for the insurances in the GECAMed database in the table patient.insurance)
     Column K: street name
     Column L: street no.
     Column M: ZIP
     Column N: locality / city
     Column O: country
