[OT] Hospital Software
by Rony Bill 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hello All, Yesterday I was at a hospital to oversee a patient's discharge. It took a whole day for them to simply discharge the patient. What was surprising was that even though the hospital had computers in practically all departments, they didn't seem to maintain records progressively. They made small hand written bills for various medical activities and put them in a patient's file. This file would then be passed on from one dept. to another. Finally during discharge, the billing dept. would enter all these records one by one into their computer. This was a long process and to add to the delay was a pile of many such files to be entered into the computer at a time. Ultimately inspite of having lots of computers with them in the entire hospital, they were underutilizing this usefull resource. There are many software developers on this list who are also into database management. This is just a suggestion. Whenever they create softwares for hospitals, they could create a system wherein every department creates its bills directly into the computer and prints it out on a tiny printer just like the one used in restaurants and STD/ISD booths. So when a patient's portfolio is created on admission it is stored on a central server. Every department's new bill is added to this record at the time of creation itself. So during discharge the billing department does not enter any bills into their computer, instead they simply click a button to get a final print out as per their format. In order to overcome local networking glitches that may temporarily prevent access to the main server, a sub server database can be kept running in every machine that is used to enter data. This server will store a backup of all its own records and also act as a buffer holder when network is down. When the network is up again, it will automatically locate the main server and update the main database. This will be a background process that will run without user intervention, thus allowing records to be created inspite of network loss. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

> What is offending in suggesting an alternative which is non-linux? I dont see what real alternative (linux or non-linux) you provided... (? "stuff" ?) As I see it, your remark spreads the myth that linux is complex, and is unsuitable or too sophisticated for normal person... A newbie user CAN feel totally snubbed, and unwelcome by such responses.. and just give up on Linux.. Linux is not an exclusive club with "only command-line users allowed, normal ppl need not apply" ... The future of Linux is dependent upon the growth of a community of users amongst us... who help each other.. ultimately this should help all of us.. (maybe, if we get enough critical mass, ISP's, IE only websites, and device manufacturers would actually start caring about us!! :-) ) ANYWAYS, can we move on from this to the real question being asked please.. pasting again... > > Hello, > > Linux has excellent bandwidth management subsystem.

It has large collection of free software information with links and other details

The use of VistA has been proven to improve patient treatment outcomes in many ways, including by reducing medical errors and by ensuring that clinicians can easily access all clinically relevant patient information. The U.S. government originally developed VistA for use in veterans' hospitals, so it is public domain. This means you already own VistA, no matter which country you call home. Venky
