Hey guys
Just wanted to pick your brains on this . I work in a hospital, and every morning, we have to produce a patient list before the ward round.
The list has all the basic details of the patients, say name, age, diagnosis, hospital number etc etc.
At the moment we just use an excel spreadsheet. This works okay, but I would like a system that can do the following.
1 . Can produce specific printouts - e.g one for doctors with all the info on it, a cut down version for ward clerks etc etc.
2 . At the click of a button produce a snapshot of all the patients on the ward and save them to an archive file.
3 . Every time anything is printed, we need it to have the current date and time on it.
4. Needs to be able to run on several computers, and to be updated from any of them.
5 . Needs to be super-stable.
Any ideas. I was thinking an access front end, and having a database, and then some front-end to enter data etc etc.
I have no clue on how to do this - any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. We have access on all machines, but if needed we can use VB, and make an exe file etc.
Thanks
