Dear Dr Lopur, I'm a Medical doctor, specialized in Health
Administration. I am also an amateur programmer, and have worked for some time
with Access and may be I can help a little with you application. The same as Elpido �has expressed, and the way you
have described the program, it would be a very useful tool as a stand alone application
or within a program as Care2x. But if I had my way I would put in Care2x so as
to make our "toy" more useful than what it is today. As to using the national number I would suggest that
you do that with you program or any other program that is developed since that
makes it easy to find a patient. The problem with this approach is when the
patient is a new born or an infant. In my country the government is
implementing an Id number that is used throughout life (until now the there was
different number for a person during his childhood until he becomes an adult
(18 years old). If you will, you can send your toy and I will gladly play
a while with it! I might give you some ideas. My e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also beg that this Bairam shall bring calm, peace
and happiness to the whole care2x community and humanity. Mauricio Casasbuenas -----Mensaje original----- Hi, I am an amateur programmer but also the end user. I have developped my own private office management program during the last 15 years. As wrote before it started as a cobol program I revised it many times, then for the last 8 years it was revised many times as a ms access program. Regarding the current discussion, name and surname fields are separately designed. The first key is the surname then the given names are arranged in order as I am a gynecologist and all my patients are women then I note the spouse name, birth place, birth year in the search screen. Why? Because when the number of the patients increases there will be an extremely high number of patients with the same given name and surname so adding spouse name and birth place would really ease things to correctly identify a patient on the search list. For care 2x adding the field national id number is genious. So it is unique. When such a programme is used nationwide it will be a marvelous thing to find data about some patient anywhere in the country. In Turkey the national id number is implemented for several years now. So if you can record the national id number in the first encounter there will not be a list. You will se only one record. So putting the patients or personels' data in the same database even nationwide should not be a problem. I think we, the listmates, are here because we belive in the same things at least in this area. Yes we develop a program� or a part of the program as the need arises. I must confess that I am not even a novice in C, pHp, perl, mysql or pgsql. But I beg the listmates, especially the gurus of these programming languages of this list especially� if they have a basic knowlege of ms access, to study my personal private cabinet management programme. To notice how a patient is searched, the macros of boxes, What I needed as formes during these years. How ultrasound report calculates fetal age when a bipariatal diameter , femur length, etc� is given. how ultrasound form and obstetrical form calculates the expected date of confinement. Also for those with lesser experience with ms access to look at the forms in design mode how some things are hidden on the screen and visible when printed. I am sorry this has been like an ms access advertisment. But when I wrote the program first in cobol it would look like a programme consisting of lines and letters on a black screen. Working with keyboard function keys and letters in a text console with no mouse support.�� But I had liked that very much. Because though it seemed silly (And it may look like it now too) even not a toy with commercial value, it was MINE. Yesterday I introduced the Turkish module of Care2x to Turkish medical community via yahoogroups as a Present for the Ramadan Bairam from me. Ramadan Bairam, for the non muslim list mates, is a three days of Holiday after the month of Ramadan, a sacred month of daily fasting.� In the end that is Bairam, which is also called Sugar Bairam in Turkey may be compared to Christmass week. There are many presents and feasts and visits to the good old relatives. So I noticed that no one has looked at my program from this list. Because no one subscribed to obgyn_int @yahoogroups.com in recent days. I decided to give you a Bairam present . I send it as an attachment both in English and Turkish. The English one is modified for teaching purposes. The Turkish one looks like something unintelligible or with many undocumented functions. The version I use currently has additionally medical procedures pricelist of Turkish Medical association and drug prices and other data which appear on a pop up window when you click the name of a drug which you wrote on a prescription. I celebrate the Holy Ramadan Bairam of all muslim listmates. I beg that this Bairam shall bring calm, peace and happines to the whole of humanity. In a way aren't we all kids playing with toys? May God Bless You All !!! B|lent Potur MD Ovgyn � � Elpidio Latorilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ��� Hi Daniel Ignat, ��� thanks for the good ideas.
