How to open CCR file?

The main problem with ASTM Continuity Of Care Record is that the CCR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CCR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CCR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install HealthFrame Viewer

In this case, you should first verify that the HealthFrame Viewer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HealthFrame Viewer into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CCR files.

Programs to open CCR file

Remember to download programs supporting CCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HealthFrame Viewer with CCR files

If, despite the installed application, the CCR file does not start in the HealthFrame Viewer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CCR file with the HealthFrame Viewer program.

Step 3. Update HealthFrame Viewer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HealthFrame Viewer program, it is possible that ASTM Continuity Of Care Record requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CCR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CCR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CCR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CCR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CCR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CCR file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CCR file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CCR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CCR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CCR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CCR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CCR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
